The bus rode throughout the roads covering the vast campus, en route to main building. It would usually take a couple of minutes before it reached the destination, but it felt like it took ages for the boundary girl. There was a reason why the school could cover so much land and that was the population reduction that the country had gone through the last century. Whilst technological development slowed, fertility sunk for a time and made land both cheaper and far more available. Like so the government and private corporations, private persons and so forth had easier access. Maribel knew there were people, heroes even, who owned entire woodlands. Right now it was nothing but an annoyance to her.

"So what was your strategy?" Yaoyorozu questioned Maribel, in reference to the mock battle. After changing out of their hero costumes, she had been kind enough to create some bandages for Maribel to use on the waist wound that had been inflicted.

"I told Tokoyami-san that I would stall at least one of you. In truth it was more about learning what you could accomplish and teach myself how to work in a tight spot... It didn't go all that well. But I learnt a new trick or two." Maribel thought back to the battle. There were some interesting things she discovered. The ability to generate a gap inside of an object and then dispelling it so that the object splits, how she could move by moving her gaps. Warping space around something inside of my gaps led to strange things, maybe I could-

"Despite being a reckless action, risking yourself so you could learn about the enemy is a clever move. It was the sole reason you could dodge the second flash bang and finish the battle." Momo complimented her. She was about to say something but Maribel cut her off before she could let out a sound.

"Yeah, but there was a big mistake after I did that. I... Didn't tell him about what you could do." Hearn critiqued herself, looking particularly disappointed and bonking herself on the head.

"I was just about to mention that, but don't feel bad. Everyone should learn from their mistakes." Momo gave her a pat on the back.

"Well, you're right." Maribel's mood lightened and she straightened out a little, looking at Yaoyorozu.

She gave a friendly smirk back. "You we're really quick too, I couldn't even react to that kick of yours."

"Well, it was something I improvised." Maribel revealed. "A new development, before, I had to create it and lure people into it. My true aim was to bind the staff like I did with you later on." She scratched herself behind her neck. "Eh... I wasn't going to succeed with that in the middle of an attack anyway, at least I learned something."

"That was good play anyway. I'd say you learned more about the basics of battle from attacking me head-on than you would have from letting my plan go through." Yaoyorozu replied. "I would've snatched the victory if you didn't know about my flash grenades."

Maribel thought back on her mistakes and decided to state what she was thinking. "I think it was a little unfair to leave everything to me. I'll make sure my teammate makes it through if we're ever doing team battles again." With a critical look on her face. Opening up a little, she turned to Momo and gave her back all the encouragement she just gave her, smiling. "You had far better teamwork than I did. That strategy of yours was far more sophisticated than what I came up with. You made decoys so that we couldn't dodge the flashbang conventionally and if I hadn't engaged you earlier, you would've won right then and there." And ended her short little speech with a thumbs up.

"Yeah! You were pretty amazing yourself." Momo became particularly upbeat, but she was interrupted as the bus stopped. In their distraction they had finally arrived. They got out of the bus and walked into the main building of U.A High. They got out of it and began to walk towards the building, in the meanwhile the bus would start up again and silently turn and drive right back.

"Mind supporting me again? It's a little painful to move around with a wounded waist." Maribel Hearn asked her friend.

"It's alright, don't worry." Momo Yaoyorozu let her lean on her with her left side as they went on their way to the Nurse's Office.

"I am Chiyo Shuenzji. The youthful heroine, Recovery Girl." The nurse introduced herself.

"My forearm is dislocated, and I have a bleeding wound around my waist." Maribel told of her wounds and nodded to Momo in a way of telling her to do the same. Pointing at her dislocated joint with her left hand.

"I've gotten a few bruises, and my right wrist is dislocated." Her friend spoke up in succession and lift up the arm with the wrist.

The nurse gave them some looks before kindly requesting. "Take off your coats."

Both of the students gave each other a look. "Yes, mam!" They both said in unison, paused and giggled a little.

Maribel unbuttoned her coat and started taking it off. It was a pain for her due to her arm, but she managed to pull it off. Hanging it on a hook by the door. What was left on was the uniform's tie and the shirt under it. She began to pull it up a little, so she could unwrap the bandages if Recovery Girl wanted to inspect the wound.

Her friend undid the buttons on her shirt and pulled it off with considerable ease when compared to Maribel and hanging it beside Hearn's coat.

Chiyo inspected Maribel's condition. "Could you remove the bandage?"

"It might be a little hard to remove it with my arm being like this." Hearn said.

"I'll help!" Momo enthusiastically said as she went on over to pull the bandaging off. Hearn pulled her shirt up a little further. With her wounded wrist, she went around Maribel repeatedly to remove the bloodied bandaging. When she was done, she would briefly inspect it before bunching it up and throwing it in the trash bin by the door.

"Thanks." Maribel thanked Yaoyorozu.

Chiyo Shuenzji gave Maribel's arm a look and then stared at her wound for a good ten seconds. "Hmm. This should be manageable, but you might feel a little drowsy after this. Could you kneel down?" She analyzed and then asked. Maribel would kneel before her, preventing her from dying her shirt with blood. Recovery Girl's lips suddenly shot from her mouth, stretching her skin in the process. It made Maribel feel uncomfortable. Chiyo's lips kissed her forehead and suddenly healed her arm. Causing it to lodge itself back into place in a particularly uncomfortable way and forcing Maribel into pain for a few moments. It was surprising to her that it ended so quickly and her waist wound healed immediately thereafter.

Maribel stood up and simply said to herself. Briefly looking around and muttering "I need some paper..." To herself, she then looked back at the nurse and gave her thanks. "That was quick, good work." Then she shuffled on over to the nurse's desk and grabbed some paper from a roll. Starting to clean up the blood left on her skin in the wake of her wound. Rolling down the shirt after she was done.

Momo had it easier without any bandages to pull off. She simply reached out with her dislocated wrist and let the nurse do her work. Any and all bruises ceased their existence, and her wrist got back into place, it was far less painful than it was for Maribel.

Recovery Girl stepped back. "And there you go, you girls." She said, getting back onto her chair.

I suppose she'll log our visit. Maribel thought. "I'd like to speak with you alone, it's a personal thing." She requested, looking on over to Momo by the end of her sentence.

"Right. I'll see you back at the classroom, Merry."

"You too." Hearn smiled back at her and then looked on over to Recovery Girl as Yaoyorozu left the room and closed the door behind her, taking her coat with her.

Recovery Girl made a gesture to a chair adjacent to her that caught Maribel's attention. She looked right at her. "Take a seat." Chiyo said.

"Ah, right." Hearn walked over to the chair and settled herself down. "I wanted to talk about something I've started noticing with my quirk, now that I've pushed its limits a bit. How do I put this...?" The nurse turned her chair to Maribel and leaned in. "I noticed that I came to be very irritable when I use my quirk for long, a little manic even. Even sunlight irritates me if I stay in the dark for too long. I'm starting to think I might have to phone it in and update my quirk registration. It might sound unusual, but all I've really been doing recently is understand what my quirk can actually do." She spoke about her quirk, clearly serious, but keeping her cool.

The old lady pondered. "When dealing with your health it's good not to leave anything out. You have good judgement." She paused briefly. "The change isn't too out of the ordinary and as U.A is funded by the government and run under its jurisdiction. I can tell them to update your quirk registration for you."

"Really? That's a relief; I felt a little afraid to approach them. My quirk's been a little strange recently, probably because I've learned how to do more with it." Maribel admitted with some embarrassment. She felt kind of cowardly despite what she pulled off earlier today.

"Sounds like it might be the effects of quirk training." Chiyo stated, being far more knowledgeable on quirks than Maribel was.

Maribel was caught a little off guard. "Quirk training? Do quirks work like muscles?"

Recovery Girl offered her some trivia. "In a sense, the more you use your quirk the more used your body gets to it. Your quirk factor can be developed through constant and strenuous use of your quirk's biological and other functions. In addition, most quirks have a pretty low ceiling for their growth."

"That makes sense. Well..." She agreed and stood up. "Thank you for your time, sensei." Then walking on over to get her uniform's coat back on, buttoning it up and opening the door. Waving at the nurse just before she left.

On the way to the classroom, she saw Izuku being rolled past her in an emergency bed, held by two mini conveyor-bots. Maribel didn't often get to see this level of technology in action, but she couldn't say she didn't enjoy it. He looked pretty hurt though, must've come into a scuffle with one of the big boys. It didn't take long to get back to the classroom and walk inside. She and Momo talked mostly about casual things, many minutes passed without them noticing.

"Give me money!" Hearn joked with Yaoyorozu, sounding completely humorous and jolly.

She became a little apologizing. "Sorry, my dad's not paying today!"

At the sound of footsteps, Yaoyorozu turned her head to the entrance, and Maribel did the same, equipping a poker face. By the doorway stood Katsuki Bakugo, he looked a little sad, but Hearn didn't think much of it.

"...So, is the class over?" Maribel asked him. This was followed by him walking on up to them with a new, malicious demeanor.

Bakugo eyed them both all of a sudden and burst out in a fit of rage, sounding almost desperate as he did. It was not like the time back at the tests with Aizawa. "You're pathetic, destroying your limbs over some dumb exercise! I don't care how strategic any of you are, both of you are losers!"

Yaoyorozu looked kind of taken aback by it, but Maribel only felt irritated. He barges right up to me just to berate me! I've only been in a battle twice, does it look like I'm some genius who comes up with complex strategies on the spot? I'm only applying what I've read. She thought as her expression was filled with disgust. Furrowing her brows, she extended her hand and pointed at him. It was then that she talked back to him. "This was the second 'real' fight I've been in. You expect me to be some expert?"

"If you aren't even prepared for this shit, then why do you even want to be a hero?!" He continued, getting very close to her. The way he sounded made her feel like he was just letting off steam, but it didn't matter, he had made her very angry.

"I go to a school to learn, idiot!" Maribel growled back at him. Her quirk activated, turning her eyes in an eerie purple sight. Bakugo raised his right hand and began to flare smaller explosions from it as to intimidate her. She immediately took notice of this and created a gap right by his limb and bound him in the same instance. She was a little surprised by how fast she acted now that she was rested. The other classmates had arrived on time to witness this.

"Gngh!" He grimaced angrily and smacked the side of her face with a smaller explosion, messing up her hair and forcing her back a little. Not about to back down, she burst through the smoke and ran her eyes across his other free hand, restraining him short order. Maribel shuffled to the side so that he could not hit her anymore. All he could do was struggle as the warped boundaries kept him in place, he could move, but not much and he could not target her anymore. "Let go of me you ghost-eyed bitch!"

"Shut up! I could take your hands off right now!" Hearn snapped at him and slapped him across the face. Yaoyorozu grabbed Maribel by the shoulder and tried to pull her back. But she was resolute in her attempt to wail on Bakugo and a little too strong for Momo. So it wasn't until someone went past her victim to grab her that she was finally distanced from him. She glanced to her right to let her know it was Tenya Iida who had intervened. Chatter had erupted from the rest of the class as this occurred.

"Calm down everyone!" Tenya commanded the class. Maribel took a deep breath but refused to deactivate her quirk right now. "What's the matter here?" He asked Maribel.

Her eyes drifted to the ground, and she took another deep breath, returning to a normal mental state. "He barged in to call us pathetic losers because we were injured during the lesson." She stared at Tenya with a frown. Since her quirk was still active, he had to quickly avert his gaze to Bakugo. Katsuki was now engaging in a hotblooded conversation with a red-haired boy, Maribel remembered seeing him wearing nothing to cover his chest, something she perceived as stupid.

"Merry, let go of him." Iida told her, and she was calm enough to comply. Her quirk deactivated suddenly, by getting rid of her gaps she sent forth a small burst of the wind around his hands, blowing them back and putting him off balance for some moments. Taking notice of this effect, she kept looking at him right in the eye as his friend stopped him from falling over. Then he stared at her, clearly vexed. They maintained eye contact for some time, but eventually Maribel felt it was uncomfortable in a very strange way and removed her eyes from him. That's right... Ah, oh... I guess it doesn't work with my quirk activated though. When she looked back at him again, he had walked away with the redhead, taking their distance from her, Tenya and Momo.

She was let go of and the boundary girl turned around to face both Momo and Tenya. She began to try to fix her hair with her hands, but it wasn't of much help. "Sorry... I feel very... off today." Maribel said with a defeated expression. "Why'd he go and do that anyway?"

Tenya leaned in on her and responded silently, as if to conceal the information he was about to give her. "He ditched me in the battle and lost the match in his attempt to go after Midoriya." Which confused Maribel a little. Getting so close to him didn't help as it just made her feel nervous. She took a step back.

"Feels like he has a grudge against that boy who keeps breaking his arms. He's at the nurses' office right now." She asked.

Tenya lightened up a little. "He injured himself to win the match with the help of Ochaco's gravity quirk. Craftier than people give him credit for."

Momo cut into the conversation. "Sounds like he made use of the rules. If it was a real battle, you wouldn't be so callous. He shouldn't have abandoned you in that fight."

"Indeed, he shouldn't." Tenya agreed.

"I AM HERE!" A familiar figure strode through the room, everyone's eyes darted to the doorway. The sky had been slowly darkening with the early sundown of this season and made him look much more imposing. "Firstly..." He said and immediately appeared in front of Maribel, Momo and Tenya. Hearn instantly felt his presence and was almost paralyzed by it, the passive ability to sense with her quirk being the reason. Yelping, she stumbled right into Tenya, who managed to catch her before she would fall over. "Ah, there's no need to be scared." He snickered a little and waved a hand in front of himself, looking a bit more friendlier than before. "-I'm going to go over the result of your battle, since you couldn't be there when I did it with the rest of your teams."

Yaoyorozu nodded confidently and Maribel did so nervously. The rest of the class gathered around, some sat by their desks, some stood near them and a few stragglers stood away from the forming circle. "The best in this match was young Hearn." He said, there was some surprise, he probably hadn't announced it before. Maribel was unsurprised, however, her strategy was effective after all, even if Momo had thought through hers a lot better.

"That's not to say that young Yaoyorozu hadn't thought through her attack well. But Hearn devised a proper counter strategy where she learned what her opponent could do. Thanks to that she was able to nullify the hero team's assault. I noticed she learnt to do some new things during it all. Both of the teams played to their strengths, but Hearn's traps allowed her and Tokoyami's victory without risking the warhead's condition. Contrast it with the performance of Team A in the subsequent fight." He explained passionately, displaying a fine knowledge of battle. To notice how I learned, he must have some good eyes... Maribel thought, feeling weighed down by his presence. She just stood there with her mouth agape for a few moments before straightening out.

Hearn then bowed lightly and exclaimed "T-Thank you so much, sir!" Only to be greeted by a laugh from the teacher. Unused to this behavior, she assumed a normal posture and just looked at him.

All Might stopped laughing and said "Now, I think it's about time to end this day of school. The class has ended." and then put two fingers to his forehead, saluting as a way to wave goodbye. "Have a nice day, kids!" He yelled out before leaving through the door, everyone's eyes followed him until he instantly vanished about as quickly as he appeared.

"I hope I'll see you tomorrow!" Waved Momo to Maribel as they departed from the school, their routes to home being entirely separate.

"You too!" Maribel waved back and went on her way. It had taken all of ten footsteps before she was interrupted by a trio of people.

Tenya came to her first. "Hi, Merry." He greeted her. The lighting and the way he said it made it feel all romantic. What am I thinking? "Ah, hi!" She forced out of herself as she continued walking, turning her head to see Ochaco and a bandaged Izuku walking with Tenya. She didn't think of it walking with them as much of an issue.

"So you're Merry, right? The one who helped save me back at the entrance exam?" Was the first thing Izuku Midoriya asked her as she kept her head forwards.

"Unless you were someone else."

Izuku quickly began pushing the conversation, casually. "So what pushed you to take the exam?"

"My quirk is good enough to take the opportunity. It's what my dad and my friends expected of me anyway." Maribel gave a bit of trivia. She felt carefree as it was right now. The sun was going down, how calming.

"So you want to save people, right?"

Maribel replied a little dishonestly, starting to feel a little pressured. "I want to save my fellow people from the troubles of the street, you could say. Can't say it isn't a great opportunity to learn of my quirk either."

"Your quirk was Boundary Manipulation, right? It sounds like such an interesting quirk. Yours is pretty rare, too! There hasn't been a single hero with one in ages!" He began to gush about her quirk. She too, thought it was amazing. But it had its burdens, far more than he could understand.

"It can't make me sleep well at night. I have been tired for as long as I can remember- Or at least, it feels like it." Hearn spoke of her issues.

Izuku thought about what she just said for a little bit. "Does it have something to do with your quirk?"

"Not really. I just have a bad habit with sleeping. It just happens to be something my quirk can't solve." Maribel swayed her head a little, despite initiating the conversation, she didn't want to speak about her dreams and wished to deflect on the issue. I should just call Renko. She thought.

Ochaco got closer and decided to uplift her mood. "You did pretty great in that battle, you had a bunch of surprises that even All Might wasn't ready for!"

"To be honest, All Might's a little intimidating! I'm just glad that Iida-san was around for me in the classroom or might've hit the floor..." Her cheeks reddened a little, accompanied by a drop of sweat. It was supposed to be a little tease and an attempt to veer the conversation away from her quirk.

"Ah-" Iida stuttered, Maribel couldn't help but turn to look at him. "I-I do what's best for my classmates! That's all." He looked a lot more flustered than she thought he'd be. She couldn't help but laugh a little to herself.

"Nothing wrong with that. Don't flip out like that!" She said, clearly having fun. Iida nodded and once again adopted his cool demeanor, but kept his red cheeks.

Time passed, Maribel listened to some of the things the others talked about, mostly centered around school work they had received during the day. Eventually, she had an idea of something she could talk about, waiting until there was a little silence. "Did you hear about the revival of JAXA last week?"

"I don't read about that kind of stuff, so I'm afraid not..." Izuku admitted, sounding almost like he cursed himself for it.

"Same." Ochaco agreed with Izuku.

"I happen to have. Do they have any goals?" Iida asked charmingly.

"They are creating the largest space station so far and place it in high earth orbit. It's coming with its own ecosystem as a way of experimenting with terraforming on larger scales." Maribel Hearn explained eagerly, Iida looked intrigued.

"Wasn't the biggest space station in existence that old international project?" Iida inquired.

"The International Space Station? ISS?" Maribel answered.

Iida smiled and continued. "That's the one! It's probably going to take a while to put all of the pieces together to make something even bigger."

"It's not like the pieces are going to be difficult to manufacture. Even in U.A there's a dome of glass that's easily a hundred meters tall and many times that across."

"But they'd have to move it into orbit."

"Hmm, you're right." Maribel admitted and then snickered a little. "Maybe they'd ask All Might to throw it into space once he's high in the atmosphere."

"All Might's strong enough to do it, but I'm not sure he'd like the thin atmosphere." Izuku blurted out.

Maribel let out a "Mhm." in response. "I think I'll have to separate here. I use a different station to get to my part of the city." She said and waved at them, Ochaco in particular since she already understood this. They waved back, smiling as they did and then she would walk down the street to their right.

"Hi Renko! I met with this weird lady in my dream yesterday and she took me on an adventure through other dreams."

"What the hell do you mean?" Renko asked in a confused manner. Her voice buzzing through Maribel's phone. Whether Maribel liked it or not, she could faintly spot the waves streaming from and to her phone like some sort of shockwave, only much fainter. She thought it was a boundary of frequency, but Hearn never cared to investigate it before, it was the kind of stuff Renko would chatter on endlessly about. It also just so happened that Renko was interested in paranormal things, perhaps further invigorated by the existence of quirks.

"Apparently I manipulated the boundary between me and my dream self, or something like that. Anyway, it made me go to sleep instantly and wake up in my dream. It was a lot clearer than normal, and was a 'real dream' too." Maribel explained as she walked down the street, it was close to her home, but she wasn't quite there yet. "For some reason she said she was a baku and that I was a youkai. Worst of all, she felt really creepy. You know, in the 'my quirk' kind of way, not the normal one."

"Uhh..." Renko sounded very confused by this revelation. Hearn knew they both thought her quirk was confusing, but she probably never expected her to do strange things like entering her own dreams. "So you went into your own dream?"

"No. After I got out of that door realm, I ended up somewhere in orbit-" She heard Renko was about to interrupt her, but she continued before she could say anything. "But as it turns out, this was the 'dream world'. That baku said she was the ruler of that portion of it." Maribel continued explaining with a straight face. The street before her was empty, the alleyways were silent and the sun kept going down. It was a nice sight, but Hearn was recently confused by it all. Every time she had gone home and the sunset began, she began to feel more energetic, peaking towards midnight. Even with this she could enter sleep just fine.

"Hold on. You're saying you met a mythological creature?!" Renko Usami blurted out.

"She said she was, so I suppose?" Maribel answered, suddenly a little unsure of herself. "I actually got to visit some dreams. They were really weird, so I couldn't make sense of them. But I could feel the raw thought of them, a surreal feeling."

"You've been up to a lot recently, haven't you?" Her phone buzzed. "Could we meet on Thursday? My day ends early, and I know it's not on the weekend but you've made me really excited and curious! I just want to see what you can do and write it down, maybe I could start writing a paper on other worlds..." Renko said, she had always been extremely enthusiastic about how things worked and most fascinated by the laws of the universe. The idea of other worlds must've really interested her, and it's not like Maribel couldn't disagree with the notion herself, but she felt a little scared of what she'll do to herself if she really dives into her capabilities.

Despite this, she couldn't help but smile at Renko's words. "Let's do it. Come to my house around 18:00." Maribel suggested. She didn't have anything coming up, so it only had to happen after school.

"Right, I'll add it to my schedule."

"And I'll keep it in mind. See you!" Renko cheerfully ended the conversation.

"You too!" Maribel said, Renko then closed the call. They were both more accustomed to speaking with each other, so only sometimes did they send text messages. Maybe I should start doing that more often? She thought, lowering her phone as her eyes landed on an alley. The weird feeling that prevailed throughout her body didn't let up, and it felt like someone was watching her all the while. Hearn couldn't help but feel a chill up her spine. The silence of the street didn't help. So she decided to get quickly back to her house to end this sudden paranoia.

Maribel sat by the old desktop computer in her room, surfing the internet. More specifically she sought to brush up on her knowledge on youkai.

The information she found spoke of a creature that protected against pestilence and evil, who was later interpreted as eating nightmares and most likely by extension, dreams. Maribel knew this wasn't likely to tell her who that woman in her dream was, but it was a start. What caught Maribel's eye the most was that there was one known as Lafcadio Hearn who recorded all of this by the end of the 1800s. Right, I had some old books by him- and about him. I got them from my grandparents. I remember my dad telling me about him, used to tell other families all about it sometimes when we had them over. Like Renko's.

Hearn decided it was getting late and thus decided to turn off the computer. It didn't take long for her to get undressed and throw her dirty clothes into a bin to be taken to the washing machine tomorrow. She got into her pajamas and laid down on her bed, getting under the sheets. Well, here I go. Maribel closed her eyes, and she could see the boundaries that comprised the room and of what she was perceiving.

After a while, she felt herself becoming tired and entered the first stage of sleep. But with the power of her quirk, she managed to maintain some form of consciousness and perceived the border between her and her dream self. All the boundaries in her vision disappeared except for one that encompassed her, an ethereal shape that she could barely comprehend. And with a little bit of focus, she flipped it.

Maribel watched the sky in the dream world, while she was not stuck in a low gravity environment anymore, it was just as weird. A sky that was littered with a blue grid as far as she could see. The atmosphere itself took on a bit of a purple hue, but was otherwise very normal. The ground was of grass. It looked realistic, if not like it had been run through a filter. When Doremy had left her there, she had said this was the 'dream earth', no human truly lives here. There were trees around, mountains in the background, but it was too dark to see any city if there were any.

As she wandered on, she got to see the strange things that dotted the landscape. Pink bubbles that would float around, sometimes even some small creatures sat in the corner of her eyes, but did not approach. Perhaps they felt her presence much like the baku did? She didn't know. Maribel didn't want to approach these strange bubbles, Doremy had called them 'dream souls', but she didn't tell her their relevance to her dream self. Apparently, if you touch them, you get their 'dream'.

"I wasn't staying here for much longer anyway, I got here on accident after all. Let's just hope that three boundary manipulations don't dispel the boundary between two worlds..." Maribel muttered to herself and raised her hand. "I'll go back to the door realm, how about that?" She spoke to herself. Although she focused on this memory, she could not find any boundary to it. All she could make was a surprised expression. Did it not exist? ... Was I hallucinating it all? That can't be it, if so, how the hell did I arrive here in the first place?! Where the hell do I dream anyway?! She thought in frustration. With her quirk active during the night, she felt more uncontrolled than she did earlier today. She didn't mind though, there was nobody around to moderate herself for except her own good.

Maribel took a deep breath. There was a presence, not like the baku and not like a youkai, but she couldn't see them in the darkness. She wandered and maneuvered through the dream world, plagued by paranoia and the feeling. All she really did in this dream-like adventure was try to escape from what she felt behind her back, what she felt with her quirk. It was when she arrived at an old shrine, or temple in the middle of a forest where the feeling stopped. Her boundary-seeing eyes surveyed the site, what boundaries she could see did not exist on the shrine's grounds, There were statues. Maribel's face contorted into a frown. All to herself, she didn't know what to feel. Renko would probably say she looked scary.

Hearn sat down by a set of stairs that led down a mountain and down into the forest. "This place is a bit different than normal." She told herself, gripping hold of the stone step she sat on. She didn't move for what seemed like an eternity. It feels a bit like delirium... She thought. After a long while, it was as if all her strength was sucked out of her, forcing her to return to the real world. Maribel sat by the edge of her bed and her quirk deactivated. Her bed's sheets were cast aside, and she found a piece of paper on her desk with her own handwriting.
