It's Still You

Chapter 6. Implicit Signals

Shinso

He did not tell me the details in which the death of the woman interrogated took place, he only told me that it was related to water. Although the first thing I thought was that she might have been poisoned in some way, it was hard for me to imagine how in a prison with such security and surveillance, such accidents could happen. Then, I remembered the words she said:

'I'm not sure, but it's not just villains who are involved in the recent incidents.'

That must be a clue.

I was furtively looking for more information about it in forums and various social networks, the largest amount of data related to water incidents; from the slightest chance to those events where constant breakdowns were the main issue, coming across quite curious information.

In a thread, a couple of girls were commenting on the malleability of a portion of something that resembled liquid, whose interaction on contact seemed to move at will. Looking at the video attached to the post, it did indeed look like water, but slimier. It was a very strange image, but being near one of the epicenters of the areas affected by the breakdowns, I did not want to rule it out immediately.

The incident with Mineta came to my mind then, but until now there was no suspicious attitude coming from him, aside from being unbearable.

I knew that due to the rigor of the investigation that was being carried out that, no matter how much I asked him, my father was not going to give me more information about it, so I tried to appear low-key while trying to join the clues, without any apparent result.

This caused me, indirectly, to worry my boyfriend, who I did not want to involve in all this, because he did not know how everything could turn out, so I showed him my best smile every time we saw each other, blaming the classes or the Cultural Festival next to be held.

It was then in the afternoon, after changing to go to the dorms, that Kami's warm hand stopped my advance.

"Is something wrong, Kami? "I was hesitating

'That's what I should ask you,' he replied once he made sure we were alone. Now he was tense. "A few days ago, you went on a mission with Prof. Aiz– Eraserhead and, since then, I notice you differently "Knowing about the death of that recluse upset me more than I thought. He really didn't seem like a bad person, just, maybe he didn't make the best decisions.

"I guess I still have to get used to heroic work "I smiled at him, putting my hand to his cheek, trying to dissuade any concern

"Hitoshi, "It wasn't working. "Is it really just that? "It wasn't that I didn't trust him, it's just that I'm afraid of putting him at risk. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him because of me.

"Denki, "taking him by the waist, pulling him closer to me. "You have nothing to worry about "looking into his eyes. Maybe repeating this to me will eventually make it true.

"Okay "now it was him who ran his hand over my cheek.

I still saw him worried, so I decided to lighten his ambiguity a bit.

"Toshi? "I closed the door and put him against it. 'Wa-wait!' "Bringing my mouth to her neck. "Are you sure we can do this? Her voice was already beginning to waver, which meant it was a clear green light.

"Well ... "starting to leave a row of kisses from his chin to his clavicle "A couple of weeks ago, "sliding my hands down his back, while he carried his around my neck. "I thought I heard Bakugou and Todoroki study anatomy. "Feeling how his chest contracted, trying to stifle a groan, without success.
