[ something about the suggestion tugs uncomfortably at the edges of ochako's mind, and her lips twist into a slight frown.
it's not that. I really just want to help support my parents. it doesn't matter what I do, as long as it pays enough that I can do that. being a hero is dangerous work, and I don't want them to worry about me or anything. ]
[Hello food building it's so nice that you are still in one piece in this thread...]
Does your family not have a whole lot? I think it's normal for anybody to worry, but if you're doing something you're good at, people around you should be proud of you cause they love you, you know?
[ No... They haven't been able to get much work for their construction business since people's quirks started to develop more, so they struggled a lot to make ends meet. I wanted to help, but my dad insisted I follow my own dream... I just didn't know what that was.
it's a little embarrassing, but no less true.
I don't think I'm that good at creating support items, honestly... but as long as it's means I can help them, it's fine. they'll be happy as long as I am.
so... yeah. hikaru isn't wrong at all, it's just... ochako doesn't want to add more stress to their plates, so the safer career it was. ]
I don't think it's bad to wanna help your family. You love them a lot when you show stuff like that, right? But...
Maybe if you keep looking, you'll find what makes your heart feel that it's doing what will make you happy. That's what you said, right? That... if you can be happy, so will your family?
Is it really being happy, to do what you think you're bad at, just because you might not realize what else you can do?

So like... making stuff float into the air or something, right? But that's really cool, though! Why couldn't you use that for all sorts of stuff?
I think you could be a hero just fine, Ochako-chan. Has nobody given you a chance?

I think it's okay, for now. I'm just in high school, so there's plenty of time to figure that out, right? ]
