[Ochako nods, then sighs a little bit. It's sort of a relief that others feel the same way she does in regards to being away. Ochako knows that everyone is, for the most part, safe back home, but also...they're not progressing. Not growing. They're stuck in a frozen timeline of nothingness until everyone sorts of this weird catastrophe that's supposed to happen or whatever the hell.

This place is nice and all, despite it's many dangers, but it's not home. It will never be home. It should never be home. Ochako...doesn't want to grow old here.]

Yeah...you're right. Seeing everyone laughing and smiling like this, right now... [She sighs and sighs up, hugging her knees and fondly looking out at everyone having a good time.] It reminds me why I wanted to be a Hero to begin with. To make sure everyone keeps smiling like this - carefree and happy. I want to be someone that can protect this happiness.
