THE FEELING OF HER OWN QUIRK on her body is still a new sensation ; untested waters that she must become familiar with , as the small cuts on her right FOREARM come to a close . itâs never painful , but definitely short of COMFORTABLE --- especially knowing that her shield had shattered much like glass after a particularly ROUGH encounter with some kid from the academy ; some wannabe HERO who pulled their big boy pants up too HIGH .Â
         HAND DROPS at the sight of the other , heart all but does the same ; breath hitching in her throat , freezes at the sight of the OTHER . soft glow of blue surrounding her hand fading away into darkness . NO , no , no no , no NO . this wasnât supposed to happen . blood rushes in ears , bangs pushed away in order to get a better look at the slumped figure on chair who seems more DEAD than alive ( and no , no , YOU CANâT LOSE HER TOO . they say that the body goes into autopilot ,  is that why she falls to her KNEES like some saving grace , hands already working on healing the INJURY that bleeds too profusely from her HEAD? work faster , work better , BE BETTER , come on , ishikawa . this is all youâre GOOD at , so if youâre gonna do something , do it correctly . )
         â  ... i told you ... â voice wavers , eyes are BLURRING but it doesnât deter her , not now , she canât stop NOW . â  this ... is why ... i told you to wait for me before ... going out !  â and the lecture bleeds sanguine of WORRY , never irritation , fear a thin line to walk on as hands shake . kurasaki going to be okay . she hopes .Â
