~Shoji~

Shoji was the first to react, his face widening with horror at the sudden revelation.

Tokoyami...

Shoji remembered Tokoyami's words.

"When the time is right."

When he first revealed the same exact question to Tokoyami, his reaction shocked Shoji...

"It doesn't matter... "

Tokoyami. He had opened up to him, revealing his fragile side.

A brittle sapling, threatening to break even by a small breeze.

"Where's Dark Shadow?"

"I'll die soon anyways."

Shoji imagined a boot, crushing the plant into nothingness.

Shoji's heart pounded in his chest as he slowly looked over to Tokoyami, fearing the same fate.

...

What?

A calm nod from Tokoyami.

The sapling didn't break.

It was as if using a hammer to smash a very thin layer of glass, cringing and backing away, preparing for its break, yet end up gawking at its untouched state after impact.

It was a complete surprise to Shoji, a friend he thought was in need of repair was fixed all by himself.

Slowly, the shock turned into proudness. Shoji was worried from the day Tokoyami collapsed in front of him, that Tokoyami might not survive independently. He puts on a brave front that he can survive, but it was merely a disguise.

Yet...

He did it...

He found the antidote himself. The remedy to his weakness.

...

I'm so proud of him.

Welcome back Fumikage.

~Tokoyami~

"Yes, I was getting to that."

Tokoyami sighed, noticing the amount of shocking news he had to reveal. One after another... These news would shake class 1A to their core.

"Please brace yourselves..."

Class 1A exchanged looks, but they prepared for the worst.

"Dark Shadow... is gone."

Surprisingly, their reaction looks mild. Tokoyami guessed everyone had suspected something similar to that since he did avoid using his quirk during Physical Education earlier.

No one said a word for a full minute. It was a gesture of respect for Tokoyami, and he deeply appreciated that.

However, it did give some time to the class to ponder how such a thing even happened. Dark Shadow's existence was a mystery to all of them. It was unlike most quirk out there...

Dark Shadow was sentient. Which leads to his next reveal...

"How did this happen?"

Midoriya spoke up first, softly.

"You said he was sentient right? So he couldn't have just suddenly disappeared while you are still here right?"

Tokoyami closed his eyes.
