[Ochako can tell, they've been through this sort of thing before in Nippon, and it was just as dark and ugly then. But just like then, they got through it. They revealed a lot of their vulnerabilities and became closer as friends. They can get through this, too, she knows it, it's just...a much deeper mire to wade through. Because this, in particular, is not something Ochako knows much about, She even said so herself - she doesn't want nor need to know the depth of what happened between Deku and Bakugou unless they want to tell her...and Bakugou seems like he'll never open that door to her, and that's fine. He doesn't have to, it doesn't change anything, really. Doesn't change the fact that he is, and forever will be her best friend.
If only he could realize that! That no matter what, promise or not, she will always try to help him. Ochako will always help anyone and everyone she can, because that's just who she is. She's a Hero, yes, but she's also...good, like he said.]
Bakugou-kun, stop worrying about me, please. Do you not think i don't know how you are? Even if we've only known each other a year or something...I know the type of person you are. [She takes a deep breath, looking him dead in the eye and she steels her resolve again. She doesn't want to be weak right now, or emotional. She has to be strong...for him.] I know, and I don't care. I like how you are normally, because despite that, you've always been a good person deep down. Don't you remember? I said how much I've admired you back in Nippon... All those bad things you focus on...they've never really taken away from the good traits you have.
I'm not here because I'm good, or kind, or whatever. I'm here because I want to be. Because you're my best friend and you are worth every effort I put in. [She takes a step forward again, getting more in his face because he has to realize just how...how precious he is to the people around him. Those that choose to be close to him do just that. They choose to be. Despite everything...he's a part of them now.] ...If you go, I'll chase after you. Just like with Deku. I'm not letting another one of my friends go through what he did. You're just as important as anyone else, so...so let me walk beside you!!
I made that promise because I wanted to, not because you let me!! It was my choice, Bakugou, and you can't take that away. [She grits her teeth, eyes glassy, fists also clenched at her sides.] I already failed to help you once...I won't do it again. Even if it's just staying by your side...holding your hand...I-I'll do...d-do what I c-c-can...
BECAUSE YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO ME, YOU STUPID IDIOT!!
