I look around

To see my body

Broken and bloodied on the pavement

I walked off that roof

Now I'm dead

Should I have done it?

Was there any point in living?

It doesn't matter

If I couldn't be a hero in this life

maybe I can be a hero in my next life

If I'm dead

Why am I still here

Am I a ghost

It appears so

No one notices me standing here

All alone

There's an explosion

I rush towards the sound

Instinct from my life kicking in

I run

And run

And run

Coming to a halt at an alley

"Kachan!"

He looks at me

I'm surprised

Though

It's as if he looked straight through me

I find a stick in the dumpster

Pick it up

And charge for the slime villain

Raising the stick

I'm surprised I can interact with other things

I stab the villain in the eyes

Grab Kachan

And run

Kachan freaks out

"Let me go!"

I drop him off when he's safe

I'm not out of breath

The heroes come

Make sure he's okay

He looks at me again

This time he says

"What are you starting at Deku?"

I stare

Shocked he can see me

I say nothing as I walk through the crowd

Passing through people as if they are air

More like I'm air

I

Without a physical form

Other than this ghostly husk

of what I once was
