[Was this supposed to be fun? Maybe for certain people wanting to chase a few thrills, but this kind of entertainment is totally lost on Ochako. Rollercoasters are fun!! Sparring is fun!!! Ghosts? Ghosts and getting scared by ghosts is not fun.]

I know I can fight them, and I have before, but...it still doesn't get any easier. There's always a second I freeze up, or I hesitate, and I just...I can't afford to do that.

It's already cost her once, where here inactivity meant...S-Sir Nighteye...] ...I hate it. I hate that I can't get over that dumb fear. I don't know why it bothers me, either! It just...it just does.
