[It's just been a long few weeks for her. The previous month of July was horrible, Ochako did some terrible things against her will, and...seeing her teacher again is both a blessing and a bit uncomfortable. Someone she looks up to, knowing how far she went on the opposite side, because of this world's influence...the blood on her hands... Ochako wants to be honest, but also she's scared of what he may think. It's not like her friends and classmates, this is her teacher - a Pro Hero. Ochako looks up to him a whole lot. Even if...he went through a similar thing the first time in Trench, too.

But his understanding and allowance of passing the subject by is a godsend, and is making Ochako want more and more to just hug him tight. She did miss Aizawa, and she didn't really have a chance to ever tell him how important he is to her - to their class - before he went off with the others during the start of this horrible war.]

I...um. [Ochako chews her lip. Even if she lies, he'll see right through it.] The last month especially was really hard for...a lot of people here. I-I'm actually glad you missed it, sensei...it was the worst one, I think. I think, um...I-I'm still kinda getting over it all. Sorry.

But I'm really glad to see you!! I really am! I missed you so, so much!!
