[Oh, if Ochako were privy to those kinds of thinky-thoughts, she would flip him over her shoulder. One For All may be a very special power, yes, but Deku is special in his own right, too - not the way other people wanted and assumed him to be because of it, but...because he's Izuku Midoriya. He's smart, he's creative, he's able to do things that other people couldn't with a mishmash of quirks and make it looks like an art form in some weird, newfangled way. He is amazing, and Ochako won't ever stop saying as much.

Ochako blinks, then narrows her eyes a bit at the vigorous way her friend is stuffing his face. Deku, if she didn't know any better, she'd think you were trying to distract her from questioning you. ...lol, fat chance, though.]

So that's what it was. ...You know, I'm still upset you never told me about anything. I understand your reasoning now, but...at the time that really hurt. [She lightly bonks him on the head with the clean end of the ladle, toward the handle.] No more secrets, ne? You can trust me - trust us - with anything.

Now eat up, there's plenty of good stuff in that bowl, and I can get you some rice in a second, it should be done soon.
