[When Deku finally returns home, he'll find a note pinned to his front door. It's folded into a neat little square, but it should rather hard to miss; it does, after all, have his name written on the front in this obnoxious blue ink. Weird, right? But that handwriting should be very familiar...]

"Deku-kun-

Please send me a message as soon as you can! We're all out looking for you, but I'll check my laptop every time I take a break. Just tell what I can do to help you! I'll bring whatever you need.

And you don't have to explain anything. Minato-kun told me what happened.

[A few lines are scribbled out here. It's like she started four or five different sentences and just... couldn't find the right way to word them.]

I didn't believe him at first. It was so hard to think about you... disappearing, and for a minute, I was even scared that you might be gone forever. That's silly, though! And I'm really sorry! I shouldn't have thought that at all, because you're amazing, Deku-kun. I know that you're trying your hardest to find a way back to us. You will find a way back to us.

I can't wait to see you!!!

[As if all the tears he'd already cried on Uraraka's shoulder weren't enough, seeing the note she'd left for him while he was gone only brings it all back.

He has some of the best friends in the world, and somehow, they seem to have so much faith in him. Knowing that would usually fill him with warmth, but now, it reminds him how he'd failed to keep himself safe like he'd promised. That the only reason he can make it back to his friends is by some stroke of luck.

Izuku furiously scrubs the tears away, leaving his eyes puffy and red, and folds up the letter to slip carefully into his pocket. One thing's clear: he needs to get stronger. Letting his friends down is not something that Izuku wants to do again.]
