I tried my best to make K on Gacha Life, but the only horns they had were double horns, so just pretend that she only has a horn on her left side. I also made Eri, and don't be surprised that they look the same. Hikari even said they looked similar in the chapter 'Eri and the Mysterious Girl'.

Later that night, I got a text from Whiteout saying that we were going to meet someone special to go over the Shie Hassaikai tomorrow. 

More talking, I thought. Why just about the Shie Hassakai? Why not talk about the League of Villains? Weren't they causing the most trouble around here?

When I went to bed, I had another nightmare. Lately, all my nightmares were about Eri and K. I had taken a liking to calling the mysterious girl K, because it was getting tiring just calling her 'mysterious'.

I was standing with Eri in a small room. She was tied down to a chair and was struggling against the restraints. Overhaul was pacing in front of her, clicking his tongue.

"You did something very naughty today, Eri," he said, finally stopping directly in front of her and staring at her.

Eri stared back at him with big, fearful eyes. 

Overhaul slowly took his glove off on his right hand, shaking his head. "I think you need to be punished."

When he took a step towards her, she squirmed in her chair, tears falling down her cheeks. He reached out and touched her, and then she disappeared in an explosion of blood.

My vision blurred and I pressed my hand to my mouth, staring at the spot where Eri had been.

After a moment Overhaul sighed and then stuck his hand in the blood. In an instant, Eri was back in the chair, whimpering.

"You're a very important piece to making those quirk bullets," Overhaul said, leaning closer so that his face was in hers. "Next time you do something bad, I'll kill your sister instead. And I won't bring her back."

Eri whimpered again, then was silent. 

I woke up with a jerk, my eyes darting around my room and my breathing quick and loud. I quickly tried to steady my breathing and I shoved my face in my pillow so no one could hear me cry.

The nightmares were getting worse by the night...  What was I going to do?

When I was done crying and I looked up and around my room, everything suddenly seemed to remind me of Eri, K, and Overhaul. My winter gloves laying on my dresser. The unused unicorn notebook visible in the trash can. My desk chair. The view of the city out my window.

I grabbed a fuzzy blanket from a metal wrack and hurried out of my room, not wanting to be in there a second longer. When I passed Bakugo's room, I paused for a moment but then kept going, knowing he was probably sleeping.
