The colors were a loud and bright splash against the sky. Midoriya wanted Snow to experience everything that was the opposite of how she was raised, the infinite possibilities life had to offer outside of a castle with no one to really talk to. In a way, doing something like this for someone else healed his heart too. To think, he had almost not come out today. He was so glad he could almost cry, but he won't spoil the mood by doing so.

"Don't forget to stop the string," he said with a small laugh to dispel the ache in his throat.

Snow White looks down and tries to figure out how to do just that. Does she hold the string? Snow attempts that and while the kite string doesn't like the sudden jolt, it does oblige without yanking out of her hand.

"It's like I have a real giant butterfly!" She came over to Izuku, holding it out to him. "Here, you try it!"

Caught by surprise, he awkwardly took the kite. Unlike a real butterfly, it fluttered loudly, wings snapping against the wind. But it was strong.

"You can wind it, like this, so the string doesn't slip. But here, you're the one who hasn't done this before. If... if the only places you've been are that castle, and then this place... You should fly it more."

She had been very candid about her upbringing, or else he would have not alluded to it at all today.

Snow White stood right next to him, watching it fly around. It was truly magnificent. How long have people been able to fly kites like this? Was it something she could have done back home? She knew about flags, but this was so very different. She looked back over to him.

"I want to share this moment with you, my friend. And I can't share it if I'm the only one doing it. I can take it back in a bit."
