We were told not to be involved with you in public in case a random villain or a yakuza was still looking for you, hanging out or spending a lot of time with pros would be too suspicious so for now you kept in contact with us via email and text messages.

Was it annoying? Yeah

After all, I'm training to be a pro hero and people already acknowledge me to be beyond that along with Mirio and Hado-san, so why do I have to be just a random person know and ignore all of this when I could do something about it?

This sucks..

But you seemed to take it nicely, ever since the meeting; Ryukyu was always on guard about your well-being and she personally used to send you sweets via delivery after you told her that you lived alone. It was a kind gesture, but when you told me that I couldn't help but take it so bittersweet. I guess she thought it was a little depressing for such a young woman like you to be by herself.

Not that we thought you weren't capable on taking care of yourself, but we felt powerless because we knew we could have done more

It was killing us

I had to stop going to the Café, and believe me when I said it was a nightmare, words on a screen weren't enough for me, text messages weren't enough, I wanted to see your face, to see your smile, to know that you were really okay, no scratches, no tears, no bruises

Because we all can hide our weakest side through a screen..

Then we had this routine on calling twice a week

I am not the best with phone calls, I hate them because I never know what to say, it always takes the words out of your mouth so fast sometimes you don't realize the things you say until it's too late. So our phone calls were just me leaving the phone on speaker and you telling me how was your week, if your flowers already bloomed, the meal that you prepared, a recipe that you found, an annoying customer, the lightbulb that stopped working out of the sudden in your house, a plant starting to the decay

I wanted to hear about you

To hear your voice talking about whatever

Sleepless nights just rolling on my bed, groaning, sighing, desperate because I wanted to call you everyday, it didn't matter if you had nothing flashy to say, I just wanted to.. UGH! What was going to be my excuse? And calling you at 2:00am? No way! You would have hated me for waking you up!

Why is this so hard?!

What about a shower with our toaster?

Shut up..

Fatgum was busy with patrolling and paperwork but everyday I went to his agency for my internship he would ask about you, he wanted to be up to date. And he was really excited to tell you that the seeds were finally sprouts, he even bought plant pots for when they get bigger.

Our conversations about you weren't that long, he usually stopped when he noticed me bluer and more depressed than usual; he knew that I wasn't having a good time talking about you because I couldn't see you and even if I don't want to admit it, it was affecting my progress on my internship

Now that I finally found you, you had to leave

Life truly hates us, huh?

I never told you..

But Aizawa wanted to know about you too..

Less than expected the pro heroes involved and Mirio wanted to know if you were okay, to know how was your day. After what happened to Eri we knew that what you needed the most was company, someone to trust after everything you've been through. Your age never mattered to us, just like that little girl with a horn on her forehead, deep in our hearts we knew..
