[Is it better to stay yourself but to be trapped in stone, immobilized and unable to speak? Or to lose yourself but not have to suffer as much? It's a philosophical question he hopes will never be relevant to him, and would rather not spend any time pondering!

Hopefully it's relevant to nobody here, though. As he goes on to explain:]

That person who became a statue didn't seem to have any memory of that time. Neither did the person from my world who disappeared for a month. Though he never became a statue.

[.......... unless he did and they just didn't find... him... But nope, he shakes his head again, hurriedly clearly away that thought, too!!]

Anyway, the House can use magic. Which is kind of like superpowers, which are kind of like your Quirk! I've seen objects levitate and chase people around before, so hopefully the moving statues are just an enchantment. Sort of like a robot that moves and is programmed to repeat certain catchphrases!

[He speaks confidently, throwing that idea out there. Then he pauses—does he really believe that? The statues and the words they speak before they die feel more "real" to him than that, too. It's an eerie feeling, and in his heart he still worries about himself and his castmates ending up like that.

But he's done unloading his anxieties on Bakugo. So this time, he smiles.]

Anyway, I said that thing about gathering the pieces and bringing them to the clinic in the heat of the moment, but I'm not truly sure what good that'll do. I don't think they really are real people. That thing about the clinic bringing the dead back to life is true though, but I still wouldn't want to risk dying in this place. That's why I'm so glad to have a hero like you around ♪

[There's another pause, him idly toeing another piece of rubble. Then he asks,]

Speaking of heroes, what was that you said about someone from your world? I've talked to a lot of people, so it's possible I've met them!
