[ Ochako isn't the only one who's suddenly hit with unpleasant memories. Flashes of indescribable feelings and nauseating images race through Shouta's mind too fast to hold onto, but the sickening feeling they evoke is almost as overwhelming as the sharp sense of guilt that hits him upon seeing her face.
...He doesn't remember what happened - and to be honest, doesn't really want to remember. But... Of all the kids he'd failed since coming here...he feels that it might be her that he's failed the most.
After realizing he's been standing wordlessly for a moment, he quickly wipes the surprised expression off his face to replace it with something he hopes looks more reliable. ]
Hey. [ He sounds... cautious. Tentative. He doesn't entirely feel like himself yet, either, so he's aware he might be acting in a way that strikes her as unusual. But... once more, he feels the need to apologize. He almost does so right then and there, but stops himself before the words leave his mouth. He should wait until he remembers what he did before apologizing properly... that's only fair to her.
After a moment, he lets himself relax a little, becoming a little more like his usual self when he speaks again. ]
Thanks, Uraraka. It's good to see you. [ He feels it's important that she know that, somehow. ] ...I'm sorry to say it, but you'll have to fill me in on what's going on. I'm sure I've been here before, but my memory is... being unreliable right now.
