[She sniffs, and nods, even though he can't see. Ochako knows Shigaraki doesn't like it when she cries, so she tried to keep it quiet, but it still hurts...to know that he grew up in a place like that. That he had a sister - had a sister - and that he wanted to be a hero with her. Had aspirations to be a hero. It hurts to know that Ochako reminds him of her. She never had a sibling, being an only child herself, but she wonders what it could be like...sometimes.

Rubbing her face, Ochako steadies her voice as best she can, and goes to sink into her bed, and pull one of her stuffed toys close to her for some comfort.]

Mhm, I understand. I...I-I won't cry...and I won't die. Even if it's not Bakugou's plan, or...or whatever. A patrol, whatever else this stupid place does - I won't die. But-- [Ochako takes a deep breath, and steadies her voice because, it's important.] ...You can't either. You can't die.

[[The sniffle is enough for him to get that she is trying, he really didn't know what to do when females were crying and he had no reason to just hang up. Or didn't want to hang up. Respectfully, he waited.

Women of any age were complicated and he didn't know how to deal with ones that weren't psychotic and at least listened to him in some way. He didn't remember a time in his recent history that Toga had cried. Maybe. He should really have paid more attention. Maybe.

Listening on once she had herself a moment or two, Shigaraki's eyebrows pulled together. He had to replay what she said in his head a couple times. Did she just throw his 'I don't want you dead' in his face, only much more obviously?]]

You're right.

[[It wasn't resignation, just some good ol' fashioned:]]

I can't die, there's no one good enough here to kill me. Even from my own ...

[[He made a noise, not sure what to call them and settled on:]]

The rest of the League.

[[Inflection and all. He had no clue what they were word wise, he just knew how he felt and wouldn't ever let on. They were another side to him and something he would bitterly defend. But here he was talking to someone as easily as this who he shouldn't be, or shouldn't want to. Even if he had given Twice more than permission to do whatever he wanted, his self-double standard rang through.]]

I'll be fine. It's late. Go to sleep, you seem to think that school is important.

[She certainly did, and meant it. Ochako really and truly doesn't want Shigaraki dead. He asked her if she could kill him when they first talked, and while she's still not sure if she could do that, she knows that in battle...it may come down to that. At the very least, that's something Ochako knows in inevitable, something she can at least prepare for mentally and emotionally.

What she can't prepare for is the possibility of anything happening to Shigaraki outside of a fight with herself or any one of her friends and teachers. He says he can't die, and she smiles wryly down at her phone because...yeah, Shigaraki is strong, he's incredibly strong, but he's not invincible, nor is he immortal. Anything could happen in this stupid place, and while Ochako's not going to argue over the phone with him over that, it's something Ochako is aware of. Something nagging at the back of her mind.

Anything could happen. Even something that Shigaraki, with his boastful pride and power couldn't get out of, and imsgining that, thinking about it... No. No need to work herself up over something that could or couldn't happen.]

...Yeah. Okay. Goodnight, Shigaraki.

[[Their familiarity was going to get into the fray, and the way, of a great many things they needed to do on both sides of the spectrum here. Everything could happen and yes anything.

There was a distinct pause, a definite distinct pause.]]

G... Good night, Ochako.

[[Hanging up wasn't hard, after he said goodnight, he did just that. What a god damn day.]]
