There definitely are things she hides beneath the surface - Ochako is...sadly very, very good at that. She's mastered compartmentalizing her troubles and her worries, shelving them away until her mental 'attic' gets too cluttered and it all sort of boils over at once. It's just with the month being as it is, everything was dumped out without her consent, then set aflame to burn the whole house down.

There's a low, rumbling growl that vibrates in Ochako's chest, she told Luz to leave, told her to go away, and yet she's still here and asking all sort of questions. Why does she want to know? More information to use against her?! More gossip to spread terrible rumors and lies about her to people?! Yeah, right...Ochako's teeth bare once more, lips pulled back over the rows of pointed fangs, claws extending again. She looks like a cat in a trap, hunched and pulled up, corners and ready to strike. Her strength is starting to return, but she doesn't lash out, yet. Not yet...she needs to bide her time and try once her tank is full. Then she can maybe escape.

"Get his name out of your dirty mouth," she snarls. "I'm not telling you anything!! I already told you to leave me alone, so go away!"
