[It does help, because it gets her mind off the upcoming task at hand, and lessens her tangling nerves a little - settling them back in place. It's not long, unfortunately, and she's not fully calmed down, but it'd enough to focus on so she doesn't spiral too far out of control. That'd be no good for anyone, and she'd never stop blaming herself if her lack of focus or panic lead to failure and...something far worse, in the case of someone else.
Ochako smiles again, nodding her head. That's a good plan. Focus on something she likes - her favorite stars and constellations, the planets and moons, different galaxies and nebulas...]
That's a really good idea, Deku-kun, I'll do that. [She takes that deep breath, because...it's time. Enough dawdling. Time to do this. In...and out again.] It's going to be okay. Ne, we're Heroes, right? This is what we do all the time! I...I-I think I'm ready now.
[She pulls away, and it's rather reminiscent to her first Sports Festival from way, way back. That shaky smile, that trembling thumbs up. The thinly veiled tremble in her voice.] Deku-kun, see you when it's over, yeah?
[And in she goes into the so-called "operation" room. The procedure itself really doesn't take long at all, but it feels long, and by the end of it, Ochako is pale and flustered, splotchy and sweaty and looking like she ran a thousand laps around the whole of UA proper. She's breathing hard, not really able to say much, and once outside...all the pent up anxiety she'd been holding back finally bursts over and she nearly falls to the ground.]
