Solidarity
Izuku wasn't sure what to expect when All Might texted him mid-dinner. His facial reaction had several of his classmates ask if everything was alright, which he quickly dodged by saying it was a message from his mother. Later that evening, he snuck out unnoticed and made his way to the meeting point. He'd be lying if he wasn't worried; his mentor didn't make a habit of calling him out at this hour.
That being said, it was also not unheard of. Izuku kept a calm composure as he approached the former number one hero, sitting at one of the numerous benches that dotted the path around campus, hands stuffed warmly in his coat pockets, the occasional exhale visible in the cold climate. Toshinori was staring up at the night sky, apparently tracing what few stars were visible. He slowly turned to acknowledge his protégé upon hearing the boy approach, offering his usual smile.
"Evening, Young Midoriya. I hope I didn't pull you away from anything." Izuku allowed himself to join the man and sat beside him before replying, giving a light shake of the head.
"Not at all." He frowned. "Is something wrong? Your message seemed urgent." Toshinori rubbed the back of his neck, looking straight ahead.
"No, not exactly. More like… overdue." Naturally, his successor was puzzled. Before tackling the issue at large however, All Might decided to shift away from the mood of urgency he'd mistakenly created. "I heard what happened with Young Eri. It's truly admirable what you've been doing for that girl." Izuku couldn't help but smile, glancing up at the stars the way his mentor had been.
"She had it way worse than I did, worse than most people I know, but she's also a lot like me, with our quirks. I know how hard it can be to not have control, to potentially hurt those around me. I want to be there for her when she feels overwhelmed or sad, just like my friends did for me so many times." Toshinori found his opening.
"Young Uraraka and Young Iida?" His protégé nodded. There was a pause between the two for a moment, both now stargazing amidst their conversation. "I was there that day, when you three visited Recovery Girl. I happened to overheard what she talked about with you." Izuku's eyes were ripped from the sky, staring at his mentor.
"W-what about it?" he asked nervously. Was this what he was called here about? A reminding lecture on keeping One For All secret? How could he let his guard down so-!
"I agree with her."
Izuku certainly hadn't been expecting that, if his dropped jaw was any indication. "Wh- You… Huh?" All Might adopted more serious features, but kept his voice gentle, looking his successor in the eye.
"Young Midoriya, we discussed how little time I have remaining, vague as it may be." Izuku, although reluctantly, nodded. "You're facing horrors that I didn't experience until I was significantly older than you, with obstacles that have the potential to outdo any I've had to make my way through. And now with what's happening with the world, I can't honestly say I feel right leaving you behind with no one to fully open up to." The retired pro placed a hand on his companion's shoulder. "You trust those two completely, don't you?"
Despite the turn the conversation had taken, Izuku still found the will to cast off his disbelief and nod firmly, eyes glowing fiercely. The sight made Toshinori smile on the inside. "I won't force you, Young Midoriya, but I believe your path towards being a hero will bear great suffering if you go it without the support of those closest to you, people you can confide in without exception." He gave a curt nod. "One For All is yours, as is the right to share its existence with who you see fit. I trust your judgement."
Izuku just sat there for a good while, processing it all. His mentor had, more or less, just formally passed down their quirk's mantle of knowledge to him. He could swear his weight doubled just then, threatening to break the bench they sat upon. "I don't know what to say," he simply replied, staring at the light layer of snow covering the sidewalk. All Might huffed in amusement.
"I did drop a great deal on you just now, I suppose." He stretched out his arms, having been sitting for quite some time. "Give it some thought, Young Midoriya. I know you'd never want the people you care about to be put in danger." With that, Toshinori got to his feet, offering his protégé one last pat on the shoulder before wishing him a good night and walking off. Izuku managed a quiet response as he continued to sit there, mind racing.
He eventually began making his way back to the dorms, mostly out of realization what time it was. He entered the building quickly, not wasting time keeping the door open, a courtesy most of the class had grown accustomed to for Tsuyu's sake. Despite his temporary absence, much of the group was still in the common room, including the two people predominantly on his mind. As he gradually made his way towards them, Ochaco and Tenya noticed him, blinking in surprise.
"Hey, Deku, where'd you go? We lost you for a while."
"Indeed, it would have been proper to inform us that you were stepping out at this hour of night."
Izuku stopped before his two closest friends, looking at him expectantly, concern and curiosity abundant.
He looked at Uraraka, her warm features overlapped by the memory of her fierce determination at the Sports Festival, charging at Bakugo again and again, setting aside any insecurities she had to give it her all against a much stronger opponent. Her tenacity made him shiver in awe, but also brought up a warm feeling in his chest. She wanted to know him more, the past week was proof of that. With the effort the girl was giving, she deserved his entirety.
He looked at Iida, ever vigilant eyes, once overridden with rage at a villain's indifference, now held an edge of affirmance, unwavering in his desire to live up to a true hero, to his brother. Justice, honesty, integrity, he appreciated and advocated these principles more than most, and honesty is what he should receive in return.
Izuku didn't know what came over him, he probably didn't even care to think about it; it just felt right. He moved forward and embraced the both of them, holding them close as he hung his head between their shoulders, tears beginning to run gently down his cheeks.
Tenya was shocked to say the least, remaining quite stiff, not exactly used to sudden displays of affection. As he opened his mouth to ask whatever the matter could be, he stopped. Izuku's hold was firm, even as the rest of him was shaking slightly. The Engine user ceased his attempt to inquire, recognizing the signs. His friend could explain later, right now he wanted support. Tenya rested his free arm across his friend's back, determined to do all he could.
Under normal circumstances, Ochaco would be blaring red and falling apart. Izuku had never hugged her before, and this came out of nowhere. Yet something stopped her heart from quadrupling its beats-per-minute. The warmth he transferred by the act gave her pause, her nerves practically reading his emotions through their contact. It was similar to when his quirk had gone berserk during their joint-training, but also completely different. He was pouring every ounce of gratitude he had into them, holding them close for comfort. Even with her breathing hitched and cheeks pinker than normal, Ochaco could only accept his genuine feelings, unaffected by further fluster.
She carefully placed her free hand on an available space on his back, then laid her chin on his shoulder, closing her eyes in the process.
The following morning was peaceful as could be, with Ochaco giving a hearty yawn as she emerged from the elevator, rubbing at the side of her face to get her eyes working fully. In contrast to the night before, there were only a handful of others in the common room, most just lazing around, not feeling the pressure of classes anytime soon; save for Momo, who was quietly reading at the table, offering Uraraka a smile and wave as she passed by, heading for the kitchen.
The night before…
Ochaco's face heated up as she fought to keep her memories in check. Having been entranced by the emotions her friend had shared with her and Iida, she'd completely missed the fact that Izuku had hugged her in front of what was most of their class. At the very least it being a three-person embrace had kept her from being embarrassed to the level of death by most of the girls. On the other hand, Mina didn't hesitate to tease her about how content she looked holding onto him. Even Tsu hadn't said a work in her defense.
Did I really look that happy?
Ochaco shook her head, now at the fridge. A glass of OJ would clear her up, mind awake for the day ahead. Her embarrassment aside, the act had drawn a number of concerns from those who cared about the humble greenette, which, by this point, included everyone except Bakugo. Some asked if someone had died. Fortunately, Izuku himself had assured them he was just feeling a wave of gratitude, earning soft smiles from the guys, coos from the girls, and a grunt from his rival. That in mind, Ochaco couldn't help but wonder if his mood was related to him sneaking out for a spell.
Eventually, the gravity girl worked through her thoughts and went about having breakfast with the rest of the class, who all gradually piled in over the course of the next hour. Apparently they'd agree to some collaborative training at the TDL later, and Cementos was even available to assist. As the morning mealtime subsided however, she, along with Iida, suddenly found herself being pulled aside by Izuku, who seemed different somehow, an aura she'd noticed while scarfing down eggs but decided to address later.
He asked the two if they could spare a moment to come with him, that there was something important he had to tell them. Like the other night, Ochaco was grateful for Tenya's inclusion, otherwise she'd be losing her mind at such a request. His sincerity had been at an all-time high, so she knew it had to be something he wasn't quite willing to share with the whole class but wanted to be upfront about with those closest to him. This was apparently how she and Iida found themselves sitting on a couch in All Might's office, Izuku and the man himself sitting opposite them, freshly brewed tea between the four.
"Wow, I never thought we'd get invited to you twos' little tea parties." Toshinori ended up spewing his drink (and some blood) at Ochaco's comment, while Izuku settled for chuckling, and Iida frantically asking if their teacher was alight. Said educator managed to settle down, pouring himself a new cup.
"It's more of a private meeting area. Now, I believe Young Midoriya had something to discuss." He motioned to his protégé, who shook off the lightheartedness from earlier and nodded firmly to the man, followed by facing his two best friends. The pair suddenly felt the weight of what he'd say next, giving him their undivided attention. Izuku took in a deep breath, then let it out, simultaneously cooling his beverage. A small smile then cracked upon his lips.
"Right, I did have something to say." He paused, considering his words. Upon choosing them, he gazed softly at his treasured companions. "I want to tell you guys a story…"
For the next hour, all four cups of tea lay forgotten in their owners' hands, two pairs of eyes gradually widening as One For All's ninth holder passionately recapped his journey from the moment he'd been told he was quirkless, to meeting All Might, to the life-changing statement the hero had made to his now-present successor. Toshinori sat quietly, listening along with Ochaco and Tenya, a fond smile upon his face.
Izuku gave his unique perspective on every event, every encounter, each aftermath and consequence, caught up in the excitement to the point that any nerves he'd had on laying it all out had all but vanished. It was liberating, in a sense, as he let loose with all the knowledge he'd been carrying around in secret. In the end though, his tale had a stopping point, that being the present day, here, as they sat in All Might's room, cold tea sitting in their laps.
Izuku finally relaxed his thoughts, letting himself sink a bit into the couch, watching for his friends' reactions. It was here that his nerves kicked in again, seeing the two completely frozen where they sat. He did his best not to mutter an interruption, believing they simply needed time to organize their thoughts, which was a sound hypothesis.
Neither Ochaco nor Tenya had asked a single question amidst the tale, far too caught up in the scope of it all. It was immensely farfetched from any typical standpoint, but this was negated entirely by All Might himself being there, not once denying any of it. The rest was cancelled out by the sheer trust the two had for their green-haired friend, which gradually let into humbleness upon the understanding that he was willing to share such knowledge with the two of them above anyone else.
Iida suddenly set down his cup, firmly, eyes closed, lips pursed. "Midoriya…" he began. Before Izuku could grow too worried about his tone, the tears began flowing down his class rep's face. "I don't have the words to describe it, how honored I am to know you, to be called your friend, to realize that just as I have been passed the torch of Ingenium by my brother, who I admire above all others, you too have been given succession by the hero you've looked to your whole life. I.. I…" He furiously rubbed at his face, trying to wipe away the waterworks. Amid his attempts, Izuku honestly felt the struggle to keep it in as well, his lips curved into a trembling smile.
He stood up, stepping around the table and standing before his friend, who had risen to his feet as well. The ninth holder held out his hand, which Tenya noticed and managed to stop his tears, quickly and firmly grasping at the offered appendage with both of his own. The two exchanged a powerful stare, despite their shaky and wet eyes, affirmation aplenty. Before it went on too long, Izuku found a second set of hands gently grasp his wrist, shifting his attention to see Ochaco beside them, noticing that she wasn't exempt from the emotional wave either, drops budding at the corner of her large eyes.
"I never would've guessed that the first time you used that power, it was to save me. I-I, I just…" She couldn't stand it any longer. This was the whole Deku, all of him, not a single stone unturned, no hidden sides. It was all she'd ever wanted, and there was only one way she could respond to it. The gravity girl threw her arms around him, ignoring whatever minor fuzziness stirred in her heart as a result. No, rather she embraced it, for the first time. She was vaguely aware of Iida grabbing the both of them, an easy task with his large frame, as well as Izuku hugging her back.
Unfortunately, the trio's emotional rollercoaster was cut short as Tenya's entire body suddenly began vibrating. Separating, his two friends watched him quickly retrieve his phone from his pocket, scanning the message he'd just received. "Ah, our training timeslot has nearly arrived. Yaoyorozu is expecting us to meet at Gym Gama in 25 minutes." Recognizing the importance, Izuku and Ochaco nodded. The three thanked All Might for his hospitality, then swiftly departed for the dorms. Along the way, One For All's inheritor, walking between his friends, furrowed his brow.
"Are you guys really okay with this? The danger that comes with knowing?" Iida and Uraraka glanced at him, blinking in surprise, and then smiling.
"Never doubt it, Midoriya. You have placed utmost trust in us, I would not dream of renouncing it."
"That's right. We're heroes too, and above that, we're your friends!" The pair held out their fists, which, with a grateful smile, Izuku matched with his own, the three meeting in the middle.
The full class showed at Gym Gamma, right on time, greeted by Cementos as promised. While everyone separated into their preferred groups and areas, Izuku found himself joined by his newly-confided companions. Iida was quick to lead them to an isolated portion of the gym, where their teacher had left a few dozen cement pillars that stood several stories tall. Tenya wasted no time in explaining, adjusting his glasses as he began.
"Now that we have a full understanding, I think your primary focus should be learning to control that Blackwhip of yours." Izuku frowned, looking down at his hand.
"I don't know, Iida, I've tried everything I can to manifest it safely." Tenya was undeterred, swiftly holding up an arm in his typical robotic fashion.
"Perhaps, Midoriya, but now you have two additional minds to assist you." The ninth holder brightened at this, realizing the intent. Before either boy could suggest anything however, Ochaco had already raised her hand.
"I actually thought of something earlier." Her friends turned to her, awaiting an explanation. "Deku, that bald guy said the power showed up because you wanted to grab Monoma, right?" The boy nodded. Uraraka suddenly backed away from her friends, putting on a confident grin. "Well, then try to grab me." Izuku's eyes widened.
"U-Uraraka, I can't! What if what comes at you is as explosive as the first time?" Ochaco surprisingly wasn't fazed by the concern, gazing back at him as she prepared to use her quirk on herself.
"I trust you, Deku. I know you'll be able to do it." Shocked at such confidence, Izuku stared back at her, seeing the unwavering will in her eyes. His mind was pulled back to that day, as she stood above him, shielding him from Tomura. Though still skeptical of his odds, he couldn't bring himself to deny Ochaco's aid, finally nodding. She suddenly jumped, her gravity already removed, sailing towards one of the pillars nearby.
Izuku took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching his hands. He coated himself in Full Cowl, feeling the power flow throughout his body. Iida gave him space, observing from afar to add any commentary. As Ochaco landed against the pillar, he finally decided it was time to try. With one quick motion, he imagined One For All rushing through his arm and flung it forward, trying to picture the energy leaping out of his flesh and forming the black tendrils.
The first attempt left nothing, only a few of Full Cowl's sparks flying off his fingertips and dissipating. Grunting, Izuku reset his stance and took another breath, Ochaco standing by. He tried again, using a slightly different arm motion, flinging it forward as if pitching. Again, no result. His friends gave him a moment to think, the One For All holder looking down at his arms, pondering what to try next. He opted for abandoning the motion of it altogether, recalling that he hadn't needed it before. He stood firmly, holding out his open hand towards Uraraka, concentrating on the space between them.
"Come on, come on," he muttered to himself. His hand began shaking, the energy coating it beginning to grow more frantic. Izuku focused entirely on his distant friend.
Reach out and grab. Closer. I want to bring her closer!
Before he even realized what he'd thought, Blackwhip erupted from his limb, startling him to the point that he nearly tripped. Unfortunately, this also caused it to veer off course, slamming into the pillar further down from where Ochaco was leaving herself hanging. This was fortunate, as the force of the tendril was enough to shatter it, causing the girl to abandon it. Izuku's worry was overwritten by a sudden sting in his chest, bringing him to one knee as he clutched at his breastbone. Ochaco had safely landed on the ground, rushing back over to him along with Iida.
"Deku! Are you okay?" As his friends joined him, the greenette quickly nodded.
"Y-yeah, it's just the power kicking in again. I can't tone it down." Uraraka offered a sympathetic smile.
"It was a first attempt with that strategy. Don't worry about it." However, Izuku didn't see it that way.
"If I hadn't missed, you would've been hurt." Iida had placed a hand under his chin.
"Perhaps it simply reacted to your panic, intensifying at the last moment. From my vantage, it seemed rather mild until you lost composure." This was news to the boy, who was already grateful for the extra observation offered by his friend. He rose to his feet and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Guess I should get used to actually expecting it to appear." The three chuckled at that, shaking off the last of the incident.
They tried several more times to repeat the manifestation. Izuku had difficulty not becoming jumpy whenever he actually managed to activate Blackwhip, resulting in a few more damaged pillars. Eventually, after seeing their friend groan from the power's backlash enough times, they convinced him to call it a day with that particular aspect of One For All, promising to discuss later. With that, the trio decided to work together on their maneuverability instead, using the remaining concrete constructs to jump around in a mock game of tag.
Izuku was happy seeing just how fast his companions were able to move with their own quirks, impressed with how they took advantage of the environment to rapidly change directions. He had done it enough times, mimicking Bakugo's movements, as well as integrating some of Iida's, but he couldn't help but wonder what they could do with just a bit more power. He was currently training at 10%, feeling the strain grow as time passed, but determined to increase his natural usage of One For All. He made another leap towards his friends, the three of them poised to intersect at their next jumps.
I'm only able to use 20% maximum. It's kind of a shame that the rest goes to waste until I can grow stronger. Still, even what I can use is more than enough.
He looked at his two friends as they suddenly came in close-quarters.
If only I could share the rest.
Full Cowl faltered, Izuku gasping as he felt a downshift in power. Ochaco and Iida noticed, but were too late in stopping their friend from face-planting into a pillar. As he cried out, then fell to the ground, the others quickly formed up and were at his side.
"Are you alight? What happened?" Ochaco asked, helping him to his feet. Izuku rubbed at his now numb temple, trying to focus.
"I'm not sure. I just suddenly felt a loss in power." Uraraka tilted her head thoughtfully.
"Maybe you somehow blew it off? I did feel a weird tingle when you passed us." Iida concurred, nodding.
"Indeed, I did as well. In fact, I dare say I felt a bit energized."
Tenya's words caused Izuku's eyes to widen, looking down at himself. He reactivated Full Cowl, holding steady at 10% again. The boy then looked to his two friends, who watched him curiously. He tried to recall the feeling from earlier. The green sparks of his quirk arced wider, surprising the others. Still, nothing of note occurred. Izuku closed his eyes, gradually turning up the dial until he felt the almost crushing weight of 20% fill his body. He gritted his teeth, but held steady, imagining himself pushing the bubble of his power outward, specifically, towards the other two nearby.
To his surprise, Ochaco and Tenya were like nodes, the energy practically being attracted to them. He heard his friends gasp in surprise, but wasn't given the time to see what was happening. He failed to recognize just how fragile this 'bubble' was, as the enclosure of energy suddenly 'popped', instantly causing a burst of energy that knocked Izuku out of focus. He briefly note he'd just lost consciousness.
…
The void again.
Izuku looked around, his practically disembodied head trying to gather its bearings. The smoke composing the majority of his body wafted off behind him, soundless and empty. The ninth holder desperately searched for another presence, still shocked he'd managed to knock himself back into the bizarre realm.
"I'm pleased to see you're a team player."
The boy darted what little of his face was corporeal in the direction of the voice, witnessing the image of one he vaguely recognized materialize out of seemingly nowhere. Before him stood a predecessor, the one whose appearance reminded him of Best Jeanist: a high-collared jacket leaving only the top-half of his face visible. The man's sharp eyes stared across at an even level, indicating to Izuku that he was somewhat floating at the figure's height. The predecessor appeared to study him momentarily, hands held freely at his side.
"Being the strongest doesn't mean you must stand alone. It was these words that earned me the power you now hold, as well as showed you the possibility that mine can give." The man approached Izuku, though whatever footsteps he may have had were silent. He stood right next to the young successor and planted a fist against Izuku's chest. "We will all be with you, each and every day, but now you understand that you can provide the same support for your own comrades."
He backed away, as the void around the two suddenly began to destabilize. "Grasp at One For All in its purest aspect, boy. Solidarity is yours to command."
He faded into the blackness, as did Izuku's vision.
…
"-eku! Deku!"
The young hero-in-training slowly opened his eyes, immediately seeing the worried faces of Ochaco and Tenya looked down at him. Evidentially he was laying down. Without much difficulty, he propped himself up on his elbows, shaking his head to relieve the slight dizziness.
"Wh… what happened?" As he was helped up, his friends filled him in.
"The two of us felt a surge of energy, but you almost immediately passed out," Iida explained. "Fortunately it was only for about a minute. Can you tell us anything?" Izuku thought back to the experience, placing a hand to his chest, where the man had made contact.
"I was back in that void. Another of the previous holders talked to me." His companions flinched.
"Whoa! Does that mean that weird thing you did….?" Ochaco trailed off. Izuku nodded.
"Yeah, I guess so. A new quirk." He clenched his fist. "The power to share power."
Despite the monumental discovery, the trio didn't have time to work out the fundamentals, as the class's training period had all but ended. For the entirety of their remaining day, Izuku, Ochaco, and Tenya spent the hours holed up in Izuku's room, trying to piece together everything that they'd learned. The ninth holder made sure to message All Might about the discoveries as well, before returning to furiously scribbling in his notebook. Night had fallen by the time they finally decided to put a hold on their discussions, spending the final hour before curfew casually strewn about Izuku's bedroom.
He sat on his bed, elbows on his knees, Ochaco spread out across the floor, staring at the ceiling, and Tenya sitting stiffly cross-legged nearby, arms folded in quiet contemplation. "You know, I think I've finally got it all settled in," the gravity girl mused, never taking her eyes off the roof. Her companions glanced at her curiously. "You know, about One For All and everything," she clarified. Iida seemed to agree, nodding firmly.
"I second that. It has been a great deal to take in." He looked over at Izuku, giving him a smile. "But I can honestly say I'm glad you shared it with us, Midoriya. We've not only grown closer, but also opened the door to further improvement in our abilities and teamwork." Ochaco suddenly threw her fists into the air from the floor.
"Yeah! And don't you worry about Blackwhip, Deku. We'll get it right eventually." The boy chuckled nervously.
"Sure, but I think I'd prefer to work on Solidarity first. I've already got smashing covered." The three laughed at that, until Iida gave a stretch and got to his feet.
"Well, I believe it's best to call it a night. Let us rest up for tomorrow, where we can pick up where we left off." The other two agreed, getting up from their positions as well. Izuku escorted the two out, waving to Iida as he wished him a good night. When he turned to do the same for Ochaco he paused, seeing an anomaly in her expression.
"Something wrong?" he asked in concern. The girl seemed to be hesitating about something, fiddling with her fingers, not quite looking him in the eye.
"No, I'm fine, just… goodnight," she finished with her usual cheery attitude. This seemed to convince the boy, as he smiled back before waved her off.
"Alright. Goodnight, Uraraka." He turned to reenter his room and close the door behind him.
"O-Ochaco."
He paused, turning to look back at the girl, face set in confusion at how fast she'd spoken. The brunette had her hands held behind her now, a visible tint to her already rosy cheeks. Neither one said anything for a while, finally prompting the heroine to elaborate, albeit very fidgety.
"I, call you Deku, w-which is basically your name, just, read differently, s-so… Ochaco. Okay?" She looked up at him, with obvious difficulty. Izuku just stared at her, mouth slightly open. Apparently this didn't help, as she couldn't help turning to the side, at least hiding one blushing cheek. "I-I really know everything about you now, so, um…" She trailed off, clearly distracting herself. "I mean, I know you still have trouble with Tsu on occasion, no pressure or anything, heh heh." Her awkward attempt to laugh the conversation off simply created more empty space. Mercifully, Izuku seemed to have spent enough time staring blankly back at her, his own face creeping with red.
"Uh… yeah. Okay," he finally said quietly. Ochaco immediately took the opportunity to escape, hopping back a step before flashing a smile she hoped would hold.
"Okay, goodnight, Deku!" she exclaimed in one breath, before rushing off too fast for him to utter another word. The ninth holder stood there dumbly for another half a minute or so, staring at the empty hallway, until he stiffly trudged into his room and shut the door behind him. His back quickly met the wooden surface, hand reaching up to where his heart was.
How many times has my chest felt like exploding today?
Now there's a good length. This would be a nice norm for the story. We'll see.
patrickthenobleman: Yeah, that was difficult because normally Izuku, Ochaco, and Eri stuff causes long-term "heart-squeeze' for me, so writing it was an interesting experience. As well, your perceptive skills are reliable, as you'll soon see.
The Keeper of Worlds: An interesting theory, but there's more to the pulse than meets the eye...
MIKE202303: Thank you!
HankFlamion18: Yes, I can say I thought at least a few people would feel that way. As I've said, it is a challenge to write for larger fandoms, I feel a lot more pressure. But at least I'm still progressing well.
Sentinel07: Indeed, she is the epitome of adorable moments.
