[ Almost a year ago, he arrived on the black shorelines of Trench. In the time before Midoriya's arrival, he was forced to learn how to fend for himself and find purpose in a hellscape he didn't understand and wasn't nearly jaded enough to accept. So, he settled into a run-down shack on the outskirts of Prufrock District using every spare minute to turn it into a peaceful abode where koi fish splashed in the water to get his attention every time he set foot outside. He found purpose in the faction of the Hunters he joined. The Hunters were an organization familiar with what he knew back home, but he clashed with their ideals. Death wasn't something he could accept let alone deliver; beast or not. So, he patrols on his own, occasionally taking on a dangerous patrol with fellow a Hunter who shares his same ideology.
Midoriya's arrival sparked a return to form. A longing for home he'd forgotten about which only grew inside him when Bakugou and Uraraka arrived. The three of them were a taste of home he'd forgotten. Touya's arrival cemented that feeling causing him to pull away from the ideals he'd built in Trench. He was changing, but not yet fully formed. He's not the Shouto Touya remembers from their last encounter. He's grown. His world expanded. He was forced to live on his own all over again, and now there's a distance between his classmates and him that wasn't there when they all lived together in the dorms. That's why he latched onto Touya so readily when he first arrived. A touch of home that he was no longer afraid to reach for.
Maybe this is part of growing up or maybe it's just him. Either way, Touya may have found it odd that with all the free real estate available, he chose to live off the grid away from his friends, preferring the peace of the forest and the company of the koi fish that he diligently feeds every morning with the rising of the dawn.
Kizu shimmers gold and disappears returning to her perch inside her Sleeper. She stretches within his ribcage lulled by the beating of his heart. So long as it beats, she's unafraid. Shouto is used to her disappearance and when he feels the strange weight on his chest, he knows she's gone.
