[Is she wrong? Ochako goes quiet, wondering if what she said wasn't the right thing to say. Yeah, they have been through a lot, and she knows Izuku's personality and his heroics, his kind heart and personable attitude. His cute and goofy, heh...quirkiness and nerdy tendencies. She knows all of that, has seen it and become charmed to it all - everything about him is just so sweet and endearing in its own way - but it still weirdly feels like it's not...enough. Would she have not been fooled if she knew more about him? It feels worse with Bakugou, too, because there she just took a guess and prayed. Like diffusing a bomb - picking a wire and hoping it was the right one.
It's painful because it makes her feel like a bad friend. That she should have been able to tell the real from the fake, especially since she's been so carefully watching all her friends grow, because she's just to enraptured by their determination, their strengths, and desire to reach their goals. Bakugou and Deku especially, just...have that aura that pushes everyone else forward alongside them, too. Like a beacon that shines on everyone in the class, it's hard to take her eyes off them. So, knowing all that...still having to guess--]
Mmh...thank you, Deku-kun. I... [Don't really feel that way, right now.] I still think i need to do better, though. Those dumb things really...really made me feel like I'm not a good friend at all. I don't like feeling that way, or putting you all on the line based on a...a guess. Or...something else. [The frailty of her foolish heart.] I'm sorry. I-I'll do better. I promise.
