A/N: The last chapter was long and carefully planned where as this is just tying up all loose ends, not well thought out but I hope you still enjoy. Less major but still TRIGGER WARNING!!!! And some swearing.

No one's POV         Sunday            11:44

Todoroki prided himself on being a fairly intelligent person, he was careful to think things through and calculated but if you were to ask him what was him main weakness or thing that sets him back he would almost certainly say his emotions.

When he was younger he had trouble understanding his own and others emotions so when his Mum went away and his Father increased the intensity of his training he decided to ignore and conceal them.

But in class 1A he never had to do that, at the start he tried to but the constant support and love his classmates gave him his walls slowly fell down but he was rather happy about it. He still doesn't understand or entirely like emotions but he didn't conceal them anymore.

And in his brief time of expressing his emotions again he discovered how easily they could be manipulated and how they caused him to make irrational choices.

And now as he was waiting he started to truly wonder whether his emotions controlling him to run up to Midori with  no plan was stupid but now as he sat in a car with awkward tension surrounding him he had a perfect time to think things through.

Fuyumi sat next to him in the driver's seat with a solemn expression on her face, occasionally she would look over at me before returning her anxious gaze back to the road in front of her.

We both hadn't made any attempts of communication since she found me waiting in a hospital waiting room with my head in my hands, puffy and red eyes and tear tracks running across my cheeks. She saw my disheveled and depressed appearance and instantly ran over and hugged me and in my state tried to explain to her what happened.

It was far past visiting hours and because I wasn't family I had to sit in the waiting room instead of the area outside the operating room and eventually they had to call someone to pick me up which luckily ended up being Fuyumi.

So now he was driving with his sister in the middle of the night after being called back by the nurses for reasons Fuyumi had yet to specify. 

And all he could do was hope that he was ok.

They had got a park right next to the staircase so they had to travel less and considering basically no one was there at the moment it wasn't even slightly difficult, the stairs had a metal railing which felt soothing against his warm palm as he climbed higher.

They went through the back exit which considering it was a hospital had a surprising amount if cigarettes littered on the ground, in the cracks of the pavement and even stomped under the trash bin and bench. 

People say that hospitals have a certain smell but Todoroki was now convinced that the outside of hospitals had a far more interesting scent, the air still had the faint smell of smoke that wasn't too overpowering but still present, the waft of treebark and dewy grass that was partially dried up and yet to be cut and the warm air mixed with the contradicting smells made them almost smell warm.

He walked quickly, his sneakers making light scuffing noises but somehow the repetitive pattern was almost soothing. Fuyumi held the doors open as they both shuffled in.

They walked down the hall randomly encountering nurses and doctors hurrying along with their arms full. They didn't talk to them or question why a young adult with guilty and upset features and a teenager with odd hair, face and eyes which were now tired and red, maybe they had seen it before?
