Right now, nothing felt right. I couldn't sleep, not while I was in a hospital bed, not when Dad was in a hospital bed. I hadn't been able to see him since we got here. I had no idea what condition he was in. The hospital staff couldn't even be bothered to tell me. Needless to say, I spent hours staring at the ceiling, wondering if everything would be ok. At least, until I heard a familiar ding coming from the small table beside me, signalling that I had received a message.

Part of me was hoping it was Shinsou, as I hadn't spoken to him in forever, and the other half of me was praying it was Dad, texting me saying something along the lines of "I lived bitch." I quietly laughed at the thought. I'd probably have to thank Shinsou for showing me something like that a while back. Either way, I reached my arm out, grabbing the small device in my hand. "Huh? That's new." On my screen it stated 'Message from Unknown.'

"Someone probably just got the wrong number..." I whispered while tapping the notification. The messaging app slowly opened, and I stared blankly at the message.

(Unknown): Hey, this is Takashiro, right?

How in the...? I quickly began to respond.

(N/N): Yeah, this is (Name). Who is this, and how did you get my number?

(Unknown): Oh, sorry about that. This is Denki from your class!

Oh, it was Denki. I guess I should be happy that it isn't some creep. I just can't seem to worry about anything other than my Dad right now. Anyways, I guess I could change his contact name then. I quickly typed in a temporary contact name for him.

(Denki Kaminari): As for how I got your number... I just messaged a bunch of random numbers until I found you!

(Denki Kaminari): Actually, I was trying to find everyone in the class so that we could have a class group chat or something.

(N/N): Oh, well I'm glad to know that it's you and not some creep, Kaminari.

(Denki Kaminari): Hey, I thought that because I can call you by your first name, you can call me by my first name! What happened to that?

(N/N): Oh, I'm sorry. It's a bad habit of mine! (● ˃̶͈̀˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

(Denki Kaminari): It's fine! Anyways, I'm going to add you to the not fully established group chat!

And, it went silent. I gazed down at the screen for a few moments, re-reading the messages. I was just about to put the phone down before a new notification popped up.

(Better Version of Pikachu) has added (N/N) to ~Class 1A Chat!~

So that's his username? I guess it shows up as the nickname you would have given yourself.

(AllMightsNumberOneFan): Who's (N/N)?

(Better Version Of Pikachu): It's (Name)-chan!

(AllMightsNumberOneFan): Oh, sorry, (Name). How are you holding up? I know you had gotten hurt during the incident today, but I wasn't sure how bad.

'Should I tell them the truth? I mean, from what I've gathered, it's only Denki and Midoriya, and I feel like I can trust them.

(N/N): Not so good...

(AllMightsNumberOneFan): I didn't mean to pry! I'm sorry! I was just concerned, is all. You don't have to tell us if you don't want to!
