[He's partially right, she doesn't know much of anything. She doesn't really know what the collar is, how it became affixed to Gokudera's neck, or what it is, really. All she knows is that it can and will kill him if they fail in their mission to remove it, and... And maybe that's why he kept is secret. She doesn't like it, but she gets why he would.
Hell, how many of her friends knew she almost died to a venemous spider bite? One? Maybe two, if Izuku actually told Bakugou about it. Ochako kept it to herself - she lived, had the scar to prove it - so it wasn't...important? Hah.
Flinching a little at he gets worked up, Ochako doesn't so much as back down as she frowns, absorbing what he says in realy time, but not being able to really take it all in other than bits and pieces at once. It's so much to process and the charged air is just...suffocating. She's so sick of getting into these sorts of high-intensity situations. So sick of feeling apprehensive and stressed out. So sick of the headache throbbing at her right temple.]
It's going to work.
[She says it with so much conviction it startles even her, for a moment. But Ochako finds her resolve and digs in her heels, eyes fierce and determined. Maybe even stubborn. ...Definitely stubborn, but she doesn't back down from people who need her. She said she'd help, and she will. She will help and she will succeed. Heroes save people. She saves people. She will save him.]
...You're right. Even if it's not any of our faults, Deku-kun and I won't accept that. Because now that we're involved, this is our fight just as much as it is yours. Us 'hero types' are exactly like you imagine us to be - we don't give up. We don't accept death as even being an option...even if we're taught it can be. Everything we dedicate ourselves to is to prevent that outcome. Even if we have to give our lives for the sake of someone else, then that's how it has to be.
I'm not helping because of that, though. Not just because I feel it's my duty to, as Uravity. I want to. Me - Uraraka Ochako. If you can't believe in the possibility of this working, then at least believe in me and Deku not accepting defeat in any way.

We want you to live, and you're going to.
[Ochako will make fucking sure of it.]
