"I SWEAR I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! I SAW HIM! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE HIM!?!?"

"Bakugo calm down! Who do you see?"

"...Him...I see...the kid who killed himself because of me...Deku..."


----------------------------------------------------------

Back in time, middle school:

3rd Person P.O.V

Katstuki Bakugo looked down upon the boy he hated. Stupid, useless, Deku. "We're not done talking yet, Deku!"  

"Katstuki, what's that?" One of Bakugo's 'friends' asked while snickering. 

"His diary?" Another one laughed. 

"No look, 'Hero Analysis Journal', he thinks he can be a hero! Hahhahah!" the first one pointed out and started to laugh even harder along with the second one. 

"Seriously!? That's so pathetic!" The second one said as they continued to laugh. 

"Uhh..really funny guys...please just give it back..." Izuku pleaded quietly while looking down. 

Bakugo then exploded the notebook and threw it out the window while laughing along with the other two. "Ahhh!! That's so mean!" Izuku said louder than he intended, but still with much fear. 

Bakugo scoffed as he looked at him. "Most top first-string heroes have stories about them from their school days. I want the shine of being able to be called the only student to make it into U.A. from this mediocre city junior high school. They'll realize I'm legit, the next big thing. That's my ego talking but I just know I'm good."

"Ego..." One of the students whispered to the other one's ear. 

Bakugo ignored him, and put his half-activated quirk hand on Izuku's shoulder menacingly. "So anyway, don't even think about applying to U.A, nerd."

Bakugo and his two 'friends' turn around and start to walk away. "Come on, you could at least say something back." One of them laughed. 

"Don't say that. He's pathetic. He still can't face reality." The other one said, chuckling. 

Izuku looked down, defeated. Then, Bakugo turned to look back at him. "You know if you really want to be a hero that badly, there's actually another way. Just pray that you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof of the building."

Izuku looked up at him with tears in his eyes, with a little courage left in his eyes. Bakugo then sent more blasts out of his hands. "Problem?"

Izuku's eyes filled back with fear as he looked down and shook his head. Before he knew it, the classroom was empty, with only him left inside. He slowly picked himself up, grabbed his bag, and walked down the stairs. 'That idiot, you can't go out and telling people to kill themselves. What if I really jumped? What will he do then? Uh? My dreams have turned into fish food. That's enough, give it back. Damn it. Stupid jerk.'  Izuku thought to himself. 

He then saw his journal floating in the pond by his school. He grabbed his destroyed hero analysis journal and sighed. 'He should really think before he speaks! If I killed myself he'd never become a hero.' 

Izuku walked home with his head down. He remembered excitedly looking at All Might through the computer screen, the amazing feeling bubbling up inside him as he watched All Might save all those people. He wanted to be just like that! Then...the doctor told him to give up.
