Hmm, I might worry a little anyway.

[ He says it jokingly, even if it's the truth. But he lets that energy dissipate when Shigaraki continues talking, placing his hands on his lap. What little that remains of the cupcake can come later.

Reminders of the past, huh? That Master must've been quite the character, Ibuki thinks, not quite realizing how literal Shigaraki is being right now. Keeping sight of your goal is important, and Ibuki recognizes the need to remind yourself to stay on track...but then he hears "my family that I killed" and his thoughts swerve.

He doesn't have family. People he's fond of, sure, but family? He'd rather call them friends. He can't understand what it's like to lose what you never had. So many stories talk about their importance, but quantifying loss just from that is impossible. What should he say here?

Trying to clear his mind, he takes a small breath to fill his lungs and quietly exhales. Something about the movement calms him and gives him room to think of something.

Right, he doesn't have to understand. It's fine. He just needs to be himself and meet him where he's at. ]


A reminder you don't need anymore... I've never been to one, but maybe it's something like a graduation? How to put this... Like "Thanks for teaching me what I need to know, but I can take care of myself now."

[ Honestly, he doesn't even remember where that came from. Maybe a drama, maybe a movie, maybe a book? Somehow, it feels like what he learns about human society blends together after a while. ]

I think I see where you're coming from there? In the end, what happened happened, but at least we can choose where we end up after. So...I guess this was a lot of words to say we should just do what we want.

[ Maybe this is all simpler than he thinks in the end. ]
