Is this how Tokoyami felt at the Christmas party? Ochako makes a bit of a face, looking Izuku dead in the eye before taking a big chunk of that mushroom off with her teeth. Then sips some of that broth loudly. Yeah, she was told about the skeletons, but Ochako sort of assumed they'd be a bit more like those (still extremely weird and creepy as hell, but mildly pleasant) little ghoulies that circle around her, uh...lamp? Thing?? That. Ochako assumed they'd be smaller, less noticeable, and easily ignored.
AND Y E T...they were full ass, humanoid skeletons that rattled and clattered all around, and Ochako just couldn't fight back the kneejerk reaction of just needing to fling herself against a wall or person to try and avoid them. She knows it's stupid, and crazy embarrassing considering the things she's fought in the past, but phobias don't essentially make sense, logically. And of course people noticed, it's hard not to... Bakugou's already bee a brat about it, cackling and snickering each time she gets particularly spooked - or just calling her out (like An Asshole™).
