[ Man, he was strong before when he said what he said, but hearing Uraraka cry through her reply makes Kirishima brim over too. It's been a long, hard road for him, even with Bakugou basically taking care of the financials every step of the way. It's been hard thinking about the world he's left behind against his will. He's had to re-evaluate what it even means to be himself without his Quirk.

And she's doing all that with someone wholly dependent on her? It's hard. It's hard for him to hear what Uraraka is actually telling him about her self-worth when all he wants to do is help and make sure his friend isn't suffering like he has suffered on the road in this place with deceptively cheerful background music. ]

I believe in you, Uraraka.

[ He says after a moment. ]

I believe you can do everything on your own if you had to, I just... I dunno. [ Sniff. ] I feel like... I'm a bad friend if I don't offer you anything since I've been here so long now. I know how hard it was for me just starting out. I don't think any one of us is... is trying to pave your way or anything like that.

I mean can you look at it from our perspective? I show up with Eri and next to nothing except a few Pokemon. You really don't wanna send me at least one thing that can help?
