◆17◆ Real me

When he saw her lose it inside the supermarket, he thought she had gone insane. He saw the hurt in her eyes and he saw just how much her parents have single-handedly destroy her very soul and torture it in an invisible hellfire that could never ever be quenched. Was this why Michiyo stayed alive? Did she tell herself to live and get revenge for herself? Even if he asked her, she will probably tell him something else. He wished he could do something for her, but it's not possible to bring back the dead. To be told to move on from the past like this must be hurtful for her. 

"Twice, make a clone of me after dinner, will you?" Dabi requested the man in the bodysuit.

"...you're gonna bang that girl with your clone, aren't you?" 

"Never mind what I use the clone for. Just do it." 

"I feel sorry for that girl for having to cater people like you." 

"Dabi, I forgot to ask-" When she looked over her shoulder, she could see Dabi strangling Twice. She whipped her head back to what she was doing, pretending not to see what was going on. 'What did Twice-san do to him?' 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was happy to see Dabi and Twice eat her cooking. She felt like she was living a normal life without all the pain and sadness. She wanted nothing more but to move away from her past that's full of painful memories. If she could create as much happy memories with Dabi, that's all she need. 

"Dabi..." She wished for it. She wished for happiness just like any normal people going on in their every day lives. It mattered nothing if Dabi's the only one who could understand her; she'd rather be alone with Dabi if it meant she had just him who could understand her and love her as she was. No one will be able to accept a diamond that's been scratched so many times anyway. Did her parents really want to make rights to the wrongs they have committed? Yes, no...either way it no longer mattered.

Michiyo was putting clothes into the washing machine. She was about to put Dabi's coat into it, but something rolled out of the pocket when she tried to shove it in. 

The ball of memories belonged to Kirishima Eijirou. The ball glowed in three colors and it looked like a precious pearl. 

"It's Kirishima's." She picked it up and she held it in both hands. "It's warm." It's as if the ball was saying what kind of person Kirishima was to her in an indirect way. 

The ball glowed brightly the moment she traced her finger along the blue glowing part of the ball, and the object slowly faded away from her hands. 

"...!" Michiyo gasped and she stared off into space. Her eyes flashed three different colors, going from pink, white, and finishing with her own blue. 

At the same time, Dabi came into the room where the washing machine was. "Michiyo, turn around and look at this." 

She turned around to Dabi's voice. She looked normal from the outside, but she was in a world of her own. "Huh...?" When she realized she's back in reality again, there's two Dabi in front of her. "Dabi and Dabi?" 

"Twice made a clone of me. While I am gone, he'll keep you company while I go and mess with the students of U.A., go and say hi to him."
