Ah, I know what you mean... [Ochako sighs, deeply, thinking back on...the League. Every villain she encountered within the League (though she'd admit that face to face, she only ever really fought against a few of them) had some sort of ideology. They followed after Shigaraki because he connected them all through that, somehow. It was bizarre, and Ochako isn't quite at the point of understanding it just yet.]

I think what it is for some is that...they have this view of what 'Heroes' should be, or how they should act, what they should do. Anything that doesn't fit into their mold they view as wrong and needing to be fixed...or remove entirely. Some just hate us because we're Heroes. And some want the glory of beating the greats - the ones in the top slots. The pride that comes with saying "I took down the number one".

[Ochako's face darkens at that, visibly, and she takes in a long and quiet breath. All Might's downfall, the events at Kamino, and her regret for not doing more there, not doing anything there...it's hung over her head since then. She wanted to help, to save Bakugou, and even if she was right in her assumptions - that he'd view being saved by so many people as a disgrace at the time - it...it's something that's weighed heavy on her chest for months. She'll never forgive herself for it, never forget it. How could she, as a Hero, turn her back on someone in need...just because of their pride? Is that person's pride worth more than their life?

If things were different, if they saved Bakugou sooner, would All Might still be considered the number one? It's a lot to think about, and Ochako rubs her face and shakes her head. No point dwelling. What's done is done - they simply have to do their best now for the future generation of Heroes.]


Mm! I'm really lucky they were all here when I showed up. Ah...i-it was a bit disorienting at first, with everything happening at once. And I still really, really miss not being together all the time. I want to get stronger, so I'm not dragging behind them all, but it's a bit lonely sometimes, too. I'm so used to us all being together, you know?

When I can travel easier, I want to be able to visit them a lot more! And all the new friends I've met, too!!
