“Ah, is that so? This is the first I’ve heard of it, actually!” The news brought an optimistic smile on his face, eager to see Kari’s development with her Quirk finally kick off under a more proper environment. Hopefully with this, she’ll be able to master her Quirk much like the way he’s mastering his. Soon enough, Kari will also be able to call her Quirk her own.

Huh? It wasn’t hers? Then who did this toy belong to---or well, more like wanted to give to him? Narrowing the options down, he could only assume that a toy like this would’ve belonged to Hagakure. In that case, though, what’s the reason for her giving it to him...?

“Eh? Oh, uh...” He glanced back down at the toy in his hands. Surely whoever gave this to him wouldn’t mind him giving it to Kari, right? At least with Kari, it’ll be in much better hands.  So he smiled, then let Kari take hold of the ‘toy’. “Alright then, I’ll let you have it. Can you carry it? It almost feels like carrying you...!”

“Ah, Ricchan.” Seeing the way she froze up, he could only wonder what might be going through Kari’s mind. Clearly, she was looking at nothing but the ‘toy’. Was it hers or something? “Did you visit my room earlier? I guess this must be your toy. Sorry, I’ve been out training all day...”

“.......”

“.....”

Eri couldn’t help but tear up at the words. It wasn’t out of dejection or shame, nothing that implied any sort of weight that pulled at her heart -- rather, it was simply from being emotionally moved; a reminder that she no longer has to internalize everything, to make herself bear all the weight and suffer alone.

She may not know this person(?), but she does know that these words weren’t just coming from him. Everyone in UA thinks the same way. 

Deku just smiled. “I-It’s alright Mikkun. If I had to guess, it was just to go after the villain, right? Nothing wrong with that.”
