It's increasingly difficult to keep her expression neutral in the face of all these people shouting their hatred and contempt. Ochako can take it aimed at herself, but when the blame and fingers are pointed towards her best friend, she can't help the kneejerk want to bite and scratch. Of course she doesn't but Ochako is only human, she hates these single-minded people...relying on mere luck and a chance that the Bugge will continue it's death and rebirth cycle. It's just...just like the citizens back home - unwilling to change their ways, to help those they see who are in need, because surely a Hero will take care of it. A Hero will come.

When they have the means to be their own Heroes...

Ochako opens her mouth to respond, but Deku cuts her off, and she closes it to listen to him and watch each tear roll down those freckled cheeks. He's right, they are trespassing now, and Ochako definitely agrees that without a proper solution, not killing the Bugge right now is the worse option, but going forward--

"Don't put this all on your shoulders. It should be up to them to look for a different, more sustainable way to live," she spits, expression placid but tone sharp and frigid. But Ochako doesn't press, just moves to follow Deku away from what is undoubtedly going to be a slaughter. Neither of them need to see that.

"...I'm sorry, Deku, I only made it worse."
