Henri chose to stay away from all of them, but they weren't having it.

So he tried to lock himself in his room, and he did for a time.

But then when the rest of their class stormed in the residence, Nagisa just had to break in and pried the door open with a crowbar.

Sure, he almost got shot by the weapons due to the security measures the place has, but the brunette thankfully deactivated them on time.

"What the hell were you thinking!?", Henri shook the bluenette worriedly.

"I...I thought it was a great idea", Nagisa weakly reasoned.

"Well, if you see almost getting killed as a great idea, then..."

"Shut up, Hiccup."

Henri just smiled at him at that, before looking at the doorway and seeing the rest of his classmates look at them. His smile slid right off.

"Um...", Shouto held a hand up. "Hi...?"

Nagisa suddenly found himself pushed out of the room as the door slammed shut. The bluenette let out an annoyed groan. "Oh, come on, really!?"

Izuku turned to Adette, who just sighed, before going near the door and softly knocking at it. "Hey, you brown cat. Mind letting me in?"

No reply. Adette shook her head, before speaking again while subtly gesturing to Izuku and the others to the door. "Everyone else is already leaving. You can relax."

They all got the cue, so they hurriedly took their leave while saying their goodbyes to Lieselotte. Adette knew Ochako, Shouto, Nagisa, Katsuki and Izuku were still outside, though.

The matriarch of the Hikari family just watched them all go in confusion, before turning to Adette.

The blonde just shrugged at her helplessly. Just then, Henri's voice peeked meekly. "I'm sorry...I hurt you...and everyone..."

Adette figured she would have to stay outside the door for a while, so she slid to the ground and put her back against the door. "Yeah, you really did a number on us...Ochako would have died if she wasn't a Magical Girl."

A sniffle. Henri's most likely crying right now. "It's a good thing she made a wish, then, huh?"

"Maybe", Adette shrugged. Henri let out a weak laugh, which was cut short when she spoke again. "But you know? You had every right to do what you did."

"I--Adette, what I did was--"

"Wrong and unjust, I know. But you were under the gold's influence so it's hard to blame you for things you didn't mean to do", Adette cut off. "Plus, everyone deserved that anyway because of how easily they threw you aside like a ragdoll."

No response. Adette winced. "Oh...was that too much?"

"Why...?", she heard Henri accuse. "Why are you...? I-it was still me who did that..."

"Yes, perhaps. Maybe the gold forcefully unearthed the darkest part of you or something...", Adette snorted. "But really. You do have every right to be mad."

Silence passed.

Adette decided to continue. "You had every right to be angry at us, to try to hurt us, because...well, no one really defended or saved you before. Well, probably aside from Izuku and Nagisa, but...you get the point."

The blonde was part of that; repeatedly, she failed to save him. So, he had every right to do it to her, too.

Henri whimpered. "But..."
