Dabi didn't look happy one bit because his hair was wet and Michiyo laughed. What happened? They went to see the penguin show and three rather mischievous penguins jumped into the water from a floating styrofoam platform and they caused a huge splash...Dabi happened to be their target. 

"They're just animals. You should feel a little sympathy for them since their home is melting away." 

"Sympathy? They were high-fiving one another after they splashed me."

"How come I didn't see that?" 

"Because you were busy watching a dolphin eat fish." 

"But it swallowed the fish in one gulp!" 

"So if I was dying, you'd be distracted by a dolphin eating?"  

"Stop being such a drama king." She giggled and she hugged his arm, "I like them, so don't go and cremate them."

"Just because they're cute?" 

"You don't think they're cute?"

"Have you looked in the mirror recently?" Dabi was still using the towel that the staff have handed to him to dry his hair. 

Michiyo chuckled at his angry reaction and she continued to walk along with him.

They were about to walk past the room that contained the blue ring. Dabi glanced at the single glow of blue once before he looked back ahead. "Michiyo, do you want that ring?" 

"Huh?" 

"Nothing. Nothing..." 'I will need to prepare in order to get it. Michiyo is always like this; she's never honest about the things she wanted for herself. She always put everyone and everything over herself. I saw it in her eyes, she wanted that ring for herself...and I will get it for her. I know she will like it.' 


...


What color was fire? Red? Blue? The heat was intense no matter the color. Michiyo wandered on a flameless path. To her left, red fire was blazing with intensity...and she could hear someone's voice within the fire. Whose voice was it? 

"Michiyo!" He froze a straight path made out of ice just for her. The way he looked at her and the way he reached out to her at the end of the ice path...he truly wished to save her. "Michiyo, take my hand!" 

"Shouto...?" What was he doing in here in her dream? Why would he of all people appear? She's already got her happiness. Why was he here? "Huh?" 

Way behind the background and standing on the right side of Todoroki, Michiyo could make out Kirishima was there. Kirishima sighed and he looked at Michiyo's way. He reached a hand out to Michiyo too, "Let me save you. Please." 

She shook her head, "I don't need to be saved. I'm happy-" 

"Fucking take our hands, you fuckshit!" Even Bakugou too. He was standing behind in the background but on Todoroki's left side. "Take our hands, just one of them and it will be fine!" 

"How do you know that?!" Michiyo shouted at him, "I die no matter what world I am in! I can't be saved! Stop trying to save me!" 

"Yuuki-!" 

"I'm not Yuuki! God, why? Why am I Michiyo in this world? Why can't I be happy as Michiyo? Why am I the only one excluded from happiness?" Michiyo started to cry because the countless fragments of repetition had been nothing but a rewind of death over and over again. Her simple wish to be happy just couldn't be answered.
