[This is incredible. If Deku grabbed her hands like this before they arrived in this place, Ochako knows that her heart would have stopped; now, however, holding hands with him almost feels the same as holding hands with Tsuyu, or with Mina, or with any other close friend: it's... comfortable.
Hmm. She blinks down at him for a moment, feeling her cheeks begin to cool as she realizes that this doesn't feel awkward, either. Something has definitely changed in their friendship, but change isn't a bad thing. Change can, in fact, be a very, very good thing, and that's certainly what this feels like.]
...Thank you, Deku-kun. [Her voice is quiet, but hey, now she's smiling again.] I'm happy, too.
[About Okuyasu, obviously, and also about this. How can she put that into words, though? She pauses for a moment, considering this, before abruptly pulling her hands out of Deku's— and throwing her arms around his neck. Is this the best angle for a hug? Well, no, but she's determined to make this work!!]

And I'm really, really glad that we're friends!
