[Izuku wouldn't be able to consider himself that good of a friend if he didn't recognize it, especially having known Jinx as long as he has. Perhaps not as long as some others, but...

Well. It feels like it's been...almost forever, somehow.]

Yeah, me too.

[Izuku pauses for a moment, not wanting to just abruptly backflip away from the tension that's been generated but instead allowing it to settle for a moment before he speaks again.]

It also made me realize that I should be more thankful for the friends I have here. Not just from home, but people like you, Dimitri-san, Louie-kun...it's not just Kacchan who could go home and have something scary happen to him.

[He doesn't know the ins and outs of the lives of everyone here, after all. He can only speculate...and some are definitely harsher than most.]
