"Let's dye your hair!"

"Really? You'd do that for me?"

Sniffles.

"Of course I would, who do you take me for?!"

"Tobinomu-chan... Thank you..."

"You're going through a rough time. I'd do anything to help you. It's your canon event, after all!"

"Dying my hair?"

"Yep, hehe!"

"Then... Will you dye it..."

"Whatever color you want, I'll do it!"

"It feels so silly, Tobinomu-chan, b-but... Thank you...!"

"I just want to see my best friend smile."

"... hehe...!"

Light streams in through your window to your left.

'... A dream,' You thought.

After Tobinomu had started drinking, you spent another half-hour comforting her before walking her home.

It hadn't always been a problem, but these days she was becoming something of an alcoholic. Anytime she visits your house, she always has to steal a few bottles since she knows your parents won't notice.

You felt a little guilty. It's not like you stopped her. Even worse, you'd have to work overtime every time it happened to hide your frustration with her and her problem. It was annoying, to say the least.

But you shake off the feeling and remind yourself that it's a new day. You figure she probably has a bad hangover and decide to pack some medicine for her.

Once you're dressed and ready to head to school, you snag a painkiller and put it into your bag along with an extra bottle of water.

After texting her, you head off to meet Tobinomu at a spot to walk with her until she reaches her bus stop.

"You feeling okay?" you ask her, handing her the pill and water.

"I'm okay," she yawns, accepting gratefully. "My head hurts though."

"You drank four bottles in half an hour, of course it'll hurt," you laugh.

"Ughh... I'm sorry for taking it again, I feel like all I do these days is cause you problems," she swallows the pill and chugs the bottle.

"No, don't worry about that. Besides, you know I don't have a problem with it unless you get caught," you shake your head, but feel another pang of guilt at the lie. But it's a white lie, so it's okay, right...?

You continue on your way to her stop, making idle chatter as you go. Then, when she's at the sign, you hurry in the opposite direction to catch your own bus.

"I have some time before work," she says.

"I don't work at all today, I'm off!" you cheer. "Hey, maybe I can see if I can get one of my other friends to come meet."

She gasps, "You mean, one of the U.A. students?!"

You nod eagerly, "Of course! Midoriya-san should be available..."

You call Midoriya.

"Hello?"

"Midoriya-saaan! Wanna meet up with me and one of my friends? We can go to this nice park nearby and hang out!"
