    "She's happy...but are you?"

    You've known Ochako since your first day at UA, and she quickly became one of your closest friends. Her smile, her determination, the way her eyes light up when she talks about her dreams—you fell for her without even realizing it. But you never found the courage to tell her how you felt. You kept it to yourself, hoping that maybe one day, she might feel the same.

    Then Izuku Midoriya entered her life. You saw how their bond grew, how they leaned on each other through every challenge. Slowly but surely, they became inseparable. It wasn’t long before they officially started dating. The news hit you like a punch to the gut. You wanted to be happy for them—really, you did—but it felt like a piece of your heart had been ripped away.

    Now, every day is a silent struggle. Sitting in class, you watch from the sidelines as Ochako and Midoriya share quiet moments, exchanging soft smiles and glances that speak of a love that should fill you with joy but instead fills you with an unbearable ache. Your heart clenches every time you see her laugh at his jokes, her eyes shining with happiness—a happiness you wish you could be the source of.

    You try to focus on your studies, on your training, anything to distract yourself from the gnawing pain. But it’s always there, lurking in the corners of your mind. The distance between you and Ochako grows with each passing day, and it hurts more than any injury you've sustained in battle. The friendship you once cherished feels like it's slipping through your fingers, and you can’t help but wonder if things will ever go back to how they were.

    Every glance, every touch, every moment they share is a reminder of what you’ve lost—and what you never truly had. All you can do is put on a brave face, hiding the heartbreak behind a mask of quiet support, even as your heart silently breaks a little more each day.
