It was six days into the new year, five days in hiding, and Y/N was able to move around more than usual. Her injuries were healing much faster than she'd thought they would. She could even walk to the bathroom without asking Fuyumi or Rei for help. She felt like things were starting to look up for her, but she knew not to dwell too much on that.

It was five days too long. Chisaki was out there looking for them and she was conscious that it wouldn't take long for him to find them. She felt like a caged bird. It wasn't like she had anywhere to head to, though. Rei was still recuperating from her own sliced wrists, and Natsuo's foot hadn't recovered. Even Fuyumi had a few lingering scratches and bruises.

As for Shouto...he was fine physically. He did everything in his power to stay out of her room ever since she kicked him out, though. So, she wasn't too sure how he was doing mentally. Especially after everything she told him. Y/N herself didn't know what to do with the information about Bakugo. Things were too complicated and her head kept spinning in circles whenever she dwelled on the subject too long.

She was sitting up in bed with Fuyumi by her side when the girl decided to speak up. "Y/N, do you have a plan?"

Her hands froze from the knitting she'd been working on. "What do you mean?"

Fuyumi stopped her own knitting to glance at Y/N with a worried expression. "We can't stay locked up in here forever. When you brought mom and Shouto, you did have a plan, didn't you?"

Y/N remained silent for a moment before she sighed. "I had a few ideas of what to do, but I planned to guide you through everything. With my injuries...I would only slow you down...unless.." she paused. "Do you happen to have any family, or friends, someone you trust completely that would keep you hidden for a while?"

Fuyumi scrunched her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"I can't leave with you guys, but you and the others can make it out. You can go far up north, maybe even out of the country. I'll go after you guys after I manage everything here."

"You're saying you want us to leave you?" Fuyumi asked incredulously, her voice pitching at the end. "Chisaki is a psycho, he will find you and will kill you! How are you going to 'manage' this?"

"I'll find a way," she reassured her. "Honestly, it would be more dangerous if I stayed with all of you. I know Chisaki, and before anything else, vengeance is always top priority on his list. He's after me right now."

"No," Fuyumi crossed her arms like a child. She wasn't acting like the adult she was supposed to be. "We aren't leaving you. You helped us all this time, we can't turn our backs on you now."

"But you aren't," she emphasized. "All I want is for you guys to be safe."

"You can't ask that of me," the white and red haired girl exasperated. She turned and shouted out the What door. "Natsuo! Shouto! Mom! Come in here!"

"What—? Why are you calling them?"

"Because you're talking crazy!"

Natsuo was the first one to limp in. He was using a broom as a cane. Rei followed close by, while Shouto lingered in the background.

"What's wrong?" Natsuo questioned. His orange shirt making him look like an orange.

"Are you okay?" Rei was wearing a light blue dress, and kept wringing her hands nervously.
