Day one: Haunting Death

I turn to Izuku, a mocking smirk plastered on my face.

"You know, if you want to be a hero that badly, there might be another way.."

I pause for a moment, smirking and looking over my shoulder at Deku.

"Pray you'll be born with a quirk in your next life, and take a swan dive off the roof of the building!" I claim, snickering.

I see Deku's reaction, his face torn between heartbreak and rage. I feel amused before scoffing and walking away, leaving Deku alone in the classroom. I talk to my friends for a while in the corridors, laughing and bragging about Deku's face when I said that, how hilarious it was, how I got him good, and how he'd never do it anyway, so what I say doesn't matter. I felt zero remorse for what I said. My head held high and a smirk on my face.

I make my way outside of school, walking out the door, not having a second thought or regret about what I said to Deku. Suddenly I hear a loud thud behind me, and a liquid spatter. I quickly turn around, and right before my eyes, was dekus lifeless body.

He had actually taken my advice? What the hell is wrong with him?

I stand there, first dumbfounded, before screaming in fear. I had never felt that type of pain and fear in my life. The tension palpable. I quickly dial the emergency services, watching him being taken away in an ambulance.

A few hours later, I get the call I had been dreading. Deku was dead. And it was all my fault. For the first time, I felt guilty. Before I could protest, tears stream down my face, a lump getting caught in my throat. I think to myself how id be able to live with myself, could I do it?

The next day, I walk back to school, this time, my head held down, guilt etched across my face. I head to my class and sink into my chair, unable to shake the pain consuming my body. My chest hurts, my heart aches, and my mind is full of thoughts that could kill. I try to move on with my day, but as I'm writing, I suddenly hear something whisper into my ear.

"Why would you say that to me kacchan...?"
