Everyday just became the same old routine; wake up if she even slept, journey through the day avoiding everyone and everything, and then come home, cry, start again. She doesn't even fully know when it all became so routine. but she didn't mind all too much. The loneliness may eat her alive, but she assumed it was better than associating with people. If she did end up ending her life, she wouldn't want to bring anyone else down with her. She refused to hurt anyone else. Kiyomi understood the hurt of losing a loved one way too much to intentionally inflict that on another being. One thing was different about today, though. Her mind kept drifting back to the stranger she accidentally texted. Kiyomi believed she owed them more than an apology. They shouldn't have to listen to that anymore than she should have to feel it. It wasn't going to happen that easily, though.

Class 1-A was no stranger to Bakugou Katsuki's angry disposition. However, today he was just... different. He wasn't lashing out on people, just ignoring them unless they said or did something to him. Most of his classmates were thankful for the slight change in character, but also deeply concerned as this wasn't like Bakugou. They were right, though. A storm was brewing in the depths of his mind. He was worried for the stranger, even if he wouldn't show it. Katsuki didn't know anything about this person, but knew that he wanted to help whatever they were feeling. He may have been an asshole, but even he drew a line. No soon to be hero would leave someone alone in this state. If he was going to be number 1, he would have to learn compassion sooner or later. Sighing he pulled his phone out of his pocket.

The school day felt slower than ever, for some reason. Kiyomi felt like time had slowed; she felt like a snail or a tortoise. The last text made the girl's stomach sink. She chuckled dryly to herself. Of course they wouldn't want to be friends with her, and she didn't blame them either. Kiyomi wouldn't even want to befriend herself.
