It definitely did help a lot!! Getting out and meeting new people is always something Ochako enjoys - she has a lot of energy (for the most part), and is extremely friendly and welcoming to other people. Plus, she just likes to have fun (and eat free food, let's be completely real here). It's just that the skele-men put her into a wild panic when she sees them, so her anxiety has been a godawful rollercoaster ride, with highs and lows and sharp jerks and curves at every angle. Deku had good intentions, which is why she can't be too mad at him...he didn't know how bad her phobia was.

As she picks out more things to add to her bowl, Ochako nibbles on some tofu, slurping a bit of the broth, and grunts. Right, right...this place is going to be a true test of her mettle, it seems. With all types of things bound to scare the heebie-jeebies out of her. "Aah, I know that, Deku-kun, but usually skeletons stay inside us. S'why I don't like 'em. They're not meant to be, uh...like that." Catering a party. Though she does recall on nice skeleton she met in Nippon, one time. She was utterly terrified of him at first, but thinking of it like a quirk, it wasn't...so bad.

"Maybe If I get so scared, it'll shock me enough so I'm not scared anymore..." she slurps her broth again. "Or I'll just have a heart attack and die."
