August

Deku took the news as hard as everyone else. It was now 2 months after he had heard of the death of Sato. "How did it happen?" he thought. Was he going to think like this all summer? He felt a horrible pain in his stomach. If he had just gone out with Sato, he could have protected him from whatever danger was there. "It's almost time." All Might kept telling him, trying to cheer him up and get him to focus. The training group and everything was going great but sometimes a few meetings were canceled just cause of him. "It's all my fault." Deku thought while resting in his bed. He didn't want to start talking again, but he eventually sat up and started talking to his wall in an effortless attempt to get it to understand him. "I'm the strongest there anyways!" Deku shouted, cringing at what just came out of his mouth. "No doubt I could have saved his life! This is so dumb! It was all my fault!"

Deku gradually turned his talking into shouting and acted as if his wall could hear him. Shivering and sweating, Deku finally laid back down. "I'll just go to sleep," Deku said to himself. "It's gonna be a long day tomorrow," Deku mumbled. Deku closed his eyes and dreamt about everything that happened.

The next day Deku woke up bright and early to get to the junkyard that he would be practicing his moves at. Deku was still quaking at the sight, remembering how close the day was as he combed his tangly hair. "Yeah yeah yeah," Deku said as All Might started rambling on about how close Deku was to fighting All for One. "All Might..." Deku said blankly. "When Sato died, nobody knew how it happened. An- And I know this is true, but do you think that it could have been All for One" Deku finished. "Blackhole." All Might said. Deku suddenly woke up. He was still in his bed, sweating. It was now 4 in the morning, and he started to wonder whether he was in a dream again. "A black hole....." Deku. "But that means.......he's still alive!"
