hugtopia | [text] ; a few days after the breach is sealed

Greetings.

The conditions outside of the barrier are extremely poor, confirming what had been indicated to us previously. The atmosphere is heavy, and full of toxins, and currently uninhabitable.

I have attached some images for those who may be curious.

Be aware, however, that for those of you who might have the ability to withstand such conditions in your previous universes, it will still pose a danger to you here.

... That is all.

[And as the text indicates, attached to this fairly open message are quite a few snapshotted images, and even a brief shaky video or two taken of the outside just beyond the breach, indicating the state of the wall from the outside just before the repairs were completed.

A few shots focus on the conditions of the broken and corroded buildings, ones that indicated that the city had once been larger. One of these shots even captures an odd looking small lizard, hiding among the rubble.

There's a few wider shots of the area, revealing some bleached bones of a large, unidentifiable creature among empty expanses of dry, cracked wasteland, a little further off.

Lastly there seem to be slightly blurred images of some of the monster activity, from further away.]

It really is apocalyptic. . .

the state of their world was by no means an exaggeration.
the area directly that was directly exposed to it by the breach may need to be.

observed. to ensure that it is not. compromised.

Is there any way I could help?

there are other dangers beyond the wall aside from atmosphere. else we would not have had the opportunity to. look. in the first place.

some may be organizing to keep an eye on such things.

I guess I'll just wait and see what else may be done.

[ . . . ]

What about you? Will you be all right?

waiting is always an option. to observe and consider.

recovery is slow but condition is not... critical.

[Hopefully. Being ill is a matter of prolonged discomfort that particularly hits in waves, a disruption from anything passable as a daily routine.]

It is. Continuously waiting, and without any eventual information, however, can become trying. If anything does come up, I hope I'll be able to assist.

I see. Well, let me know if there's ever anything I can do, for you, too.

opportunity may very well present itself again.

[Such as the one she had taken, as much of a risk it was. But she could still only advise caution toward others, even if they would take action when they saw fit.]

perhaps. that is generous to offer.

It may, yes.

[ No future pro hero simply gives up. ]

It's fine whatever you decide. I just thought to let you know.

sometimes it is enough to know that someone is willing, even if there is no task at hand.

[Because the offer of more personal assistance from others is still something she is less familiar with, learning to adapt to. There are too few people that she would even be that vulnerable around.]

Yeah, you're right. It can make you feel less alone, just knowing.

[ An afterthought— ]

. . . That's how I see it on a personal level, at least.

[And a matter of recalling such things when it counts, but...]

... you're not wrong.

perhaps... so long as the intent is there. it remains a kind offer, not an order. that makes a difference.

Being able to settle others, or to at least try, is an important quality for a pro hero to possess. If I want to become the very best hero I can be, it's naturally something I want to put my heart into.

it is a good quality.

as much as I know it is not my place to say... I hope you do not lose yourself to the role.

No, I appreciate your words.

is that so?

I know that your goal is important to you. your determination to adhere to it is strong.

[But she also knew what happened when one could become lost in their adherence to such things.]

I'm used to being tested, judged, and graded, so I'm open to any thoughts; critique, advice, opinions, or otherwise. It's very true that power and fame can get to a hero's head.

[ Oh, say. Like his father. ]

My confidence and faith in my ability is always progressing, and am kept humbled by my classmates and mentors around me. I've achieved a lot, but still have a long way to go.

do you have any personal goals you wish to see through. alongside these.

you need not say what they are, of course.

[Perhaps it was curiosity. He seemed very focused and serious, which often left room for little else. She understood that.]

I do, yes.

[ Building upon his relationships, especially friends. U.A. Academy and his place, there, has played a major role. ]

I've enjoyed working on them, and have people I'm grateful towards, who help guide me along the way.

... I see.

may they continue to guide you. being able to... maintain such bonds is important.

It really is. I've learned a lot about that since entering high school.

... not before?

[Strange. Although she knew it was not her business and did not know for certain what matter of "school" that high school was, but. It seemed that his goals had predated his schooling...]

Not especially, for a few reasons.

[ Major ones. He honestly doesn't care to get into those details, however. ]

Either way, I'm always looking towards the future.

[She knows how a past could be difficult to discuss. If one had one.]

As long as the present is not neglected for pursuit of the future.

[There were perils, to be so forward looking that you miss what's in front of you.]

Of course not. I'm enjoying as I'm learning and engaging with friends along the way. I'll inevitably move ahead, but will never abandon or forget where I've come from.
