I sat on top of a building, the night breeze was calming, but it failed to calm my mind. 


I haven't had a good sleep in about two weeks now, and it showed on my face. I haven't shown up to UA because of my involvement with the Seikatsu case. Trying to figure out his killing pattern, his motives, and who the hell he was to me. 


Eri and Kota were spending the night at the UA dormitories along with their dog Luna, Mirio volunteered to look after them. I couldn't leave them with Ellie and Iroh anymore. Not that I didn't trust them, but I couldn't put them in danger because of the target on my back. They were an old couple, long retired heroes. At least at the dormitories, there was enough heroes to protect them. 


I yawned in exhaustion and continued to survey down below. There were five civilian deaths due to the metal impaling their heart. All of which I couldn't bring back to life. Any other deaths like a gunshot I was able to bring back, it was just the victims to the metal. It was hard to get any sleep anymore. 


I heard someone land behind me but I didn't bother looking to see who it was.


"The class is worried about you" Aizawa said, walking over and sitting beside me. 


"I figured, but I can't stop now. Me being there will put them in danger as well" I muttered, rubbing my tired eyes awake again. 


"You look tired Y/N. And that's coming from me" Aizawa pointed out. 


"I haven't had a good sleep in two weeks now. Ever since Eri and Kota were attacked" I replied.


"The villain Ren was already sentenced to death. You found a lot of evidence against him, including all of the murders he's committed. You solved 10 cold cases in the spand of a day. You work yourself to the bone, you need sleep" 


"It's hard to get sleep, knowing someone is out there planning to kill innocent people. Planning to kill my students. Planning to kill those two little kids that I swore to protect" 


"We can help you, there are so many people who care about you. We want to help you more than anything" Shota said. 


"I know, but I can't help but feel selfish for it. I feel like I'm dragging you all into my own problems. If Seikatsu knew me from before, then I'm bringing each one of you to the past I didn't even know still haunted me. I thought I was over it, I thought I was finished with all the fighting. I thought I was finished with all the death. I thought I wouldn't have to go to war anymore, and I can't help but feel selfish for thinking that" I admitted, fiddling with my elbow guard.
