Patrols had been calm. Nobody questioned Toga cleaning her knives when we arrived back. Soon we were relaxed. Even if I hate them sometimes the league is my family now. The others started to talk and I zoned out.
Anielle would have responded if she was alright right? What if those guys had gotten our letter from her. Damn that girl. I could have taken her home and nothing to worry about. I notice my foot tapping but can't help but panic. Breathe. My hand reaches up to my hair where I rip out a small strand. The small prod of pain stops my foot. I run my fingers over it. Picking the root. Then I notice that the edge had become faded from the black. Great I have to dye it again.
Suddenly, I hear a noise brush the door. The others only glance my way as I stand and head over. Sometimes I'm grateful for how good I got at hearing footsteps and breathing. Because as I open the door I find a letter, a note, a feather, and the scent of the world outside the city.
I pick up the three items, inhaling deeply before walking back inside when my heart slowed.
"What's that?" Shigaraki's raspy voice asked.
"I think it's a response," I say handing him the paper, and slipping the feather in my pocket.
He keeps his pinky fingers off the envelope and hands the note to Toga.
"A response must be brought in person
-Anielle"
Shigaraki doesn't make a noise as he reads the letter. Soon enough though he speaks.
"They agreed," then turns to me. "This girl of yours was smart,"
"If that's all I'm getting out of here,"
"Tomorrow we're responding and your taking it to them," Shigaraki answers.
I grunt in response.
The walk home was swift, and soon enough I climbed to the top apartment. The bottom floor was in ruins from a recent incident. The rest worked though.
I walk into my bathroom and shower quickly, cold water stings my skin. Then I towel off throwing on an old white Tshirt and blue sweatpants.
I grab the red feather from my clothes on the floor before striding to my desk. I set it down, and begin to write.
Sometimes I wonder
What would have happened
If the world was ending
And I had stayed
What if I had burned then?
What if I hadn't fled.
It's a wonder
The peace you have now
With my blood on your hands
Your calm as I fight
Every day
Every night
To keep myself
Alive
These wonders of peace
I set down the pen abruptly. And slam my notebook shut. It's over. I grab the feather angrily and go to the roof through some broken stairs.
You could never see the stars this deep in the city. But the cool night breeze hit the rooftops.
I brush my thumb along the ridge of the feather. I hear a whistle in the sky, and then the city calm. Still bustling but no screaming, no crime, just people living on peacefully.

Yes my update schedule is gone. I'm quarantined right now. Some person I was in contact with got the virus. So you get a chapter whenever. Please drink some water or I will come for your knees.
