Hmmm... several months now.

Well, I... don't really want to go back. It can be rather scary at times here but everyone, our classmates from back home and the people I've met here are really nice to me and here for me so I'm not really scared. [Most of the time anyway.] Plus they're helping me get stronger both physically and mentally. I've learnt to accept myself bit by bit the way I am and that being small and needing help isn't necessarily a weakness. I've learnt to embrace my strengths. [He puts his hands over his heart and smiles.] I've learnt that I have a certain strength inside me.

And when there aren't experiments, everyone gets along well. We don't have to kill each other... If I went back... it would be back to Hope's Peak, wouldn't it?

Also, though it hasn't happened to me yet or at least I don't remember it, I will die, won't I, Kirigiri-san, if I go back? I don't want to die yet. There is still so much I want to do. [Then there was the matter of Mondo being his boyfriend now...]

So, perhaps it is selfish but I... I would rather stay here. But I can help you find a way out if that's what you wish for.
