[The last thing Katsuki is used to is being uncertain - about himself, about anything he does, about the world around him and how it works. But this whole reset thing turned everything on its head. Sure, Izuku had explained about it probably being a simulation and all, but it was tough to quantify and really believe until he experienced the reset. Fought to make sure the reset happened, even though he didn't really know what that meant. So he has a few questions.]

if this is a simulation, what does that mean? for the people back home, I mean.

what does it mean for us?

["Is anything we do here real?" hangs in the air unspoken. That just feels a little too vulnerable to say out loud. All of this is a little too vulnerable, but he asks anyway. It's been weighing on him.]

sounds like my bug. but i ate him and he might be gone for good.

he was a fun rival. someone who i will always think back on.

[nitropowered]

bug? you...ate him?

[opheliac]

my rival also known as my late boyfriend is/was the leader of a group called the firelights.

if u want to know what THOSE are, just go to the forest. theyre still around. for now. they hibernate in the winter.

but firelights are bugs. we've fought for years and the reset got him. meaning i won our game.

[nitropowered]

bugs called firelights sounds like fireflies, we have those where I come from

so you were dating your rival? is that a thing?

sorry he's gone I guess

[opheliac]

thats what he would have called it.

he was mr. lets start over, forget our past, this is a new life, new world, blahblah.

its whatever. i knew we wouldnt last because of what we are. hes stupidly hopeful that way.

[nitropowered]

was he a pacifist or something?

[opheliac]

pretty much. a real cheesy dork, right?

[nitropowered]

heh. even my rival's not THAT soft.

he'd be a boring ass rival if he didn't fight

[opheliac]

oh trust me. mine can fight when it boils down to it. he smacked me with lead pipe. but i let him do that though.

[nitropowered]

I mostly just spar with Deku, we train together on the regular. can't say he's ever hit me with lead pipe but he's laid the smack down a few times

[opheliac]

uh huh, uh huh. so a light relationship.
i was trying to kill mine.

[ not that she wanted to. ]

[nitropowered]

wouldn't call it light, but yeah, we never tried to kill each other. I bullied him for years though. trying to make it up to him now

[opheliac]
