leaning over his desk toward Denki Hey, did Mina text you last night? She usually sends me a million memes by now.

rubbing the back of his neck Uh, actually… she left me on read. That’s weird, right?

slumped over her desk, face buried in her arms, muffled It’s too early for this.

quietly, almost to herself This is… not ideal.

sitting beside her, speaking in her usual calm drawl You okay, Momo? You’re paler than usual.

a strained smile I’ll be fine, Asui. Just… a bit under the weather.

ears drooping slightly, arms crossed over her desk Under the weather? More like a war zone down there.

her invisible form gesturing wildly OH MY GOD, ME TOO. I literally woke up feeling like I got hit by a truck. And I didn’t even have breakfast because I felt too nauseous!

holding her stomach, face slightly green Guys… I think I might actually throw up.

looking up from his notebook, concern flickering across his freckled face Uraraka-san, are you okay? You look really pale.

snapping from his seat Tch, what’s with all the whining? It’s eight in the damn morning.

lifting her head just enough to glare at him, eyes sharp Bakugo, I swear to every god above, if you don’t shut up right now, I will use my quirk to melt your shoes off.

blinking, stunned silent for a whole two seconds before clicking his tongue and looking away Tch.

standing up, chopping his hand through the air That’s enough! We are heroes in training. Let’s all take a deep breath and—

groaning loudly, cutting him off Iida, please. Not now. My uterus is staging a rebellion and I cannot handle your arm chopping.

still slouched in his seat, hair messy, one eye half-open …So are we all just gonna ignore that every single girl in this class showed up looking like death warmed over?

counting on his fingers, realization dawning slowly Wait… yeah. That’s… that’s all of them, dude. All the girls.

eyes wide Are they all sick? Did they eat the same thing at lunch yesterday?

letting out a hollow laugh Oh, we ate something all right. The same curse.

tilting his head slightly, expression neutral Explain.

her voice suddenly very flat We all got our periods. At the exact same time. This morning. All of us.

whispering from his corner, trembling We’re doomed.

scratching the back of his head This is… definitely a new kind of situation.

arms crossed, Dark Shadow flickering uneasily The malevolent energy in this room is palpable. I can feel it gnawing at the edges of my consciousness.

his dupli-arms forming a small ear to listen more carefully The girls are all experiencing severe physical discomfort. We should consider ourselves fortunate that we aren’t affected.

his brow furrowed Should we… get them something? Like snacks? That usually helps, right?

shyly raising his hand I-I could ask the birds to bring some chocolate? If that’s okay…

sparkling despite the tension Ah, but of course! A true hero must always come to the aid of those in distress! I shall fetch the finest chocolates from my private collection!

groaning louder, pressing her forehead against the desk Aoyama, I love you, but if you sparkle one more time, I’m going to use my quirk to melt you into a puddle of glitter.

adjusting his glasses, voice unusually measured Very well. It seems we have a crisis on our hands. As future heroes, it is our duty to support our classmates in their time of need. Bakugo, what are you doing?

already standing, grumbling as he rummages through his bag Buying time. Someone better tell me where the nearest vending machine is.

astonishment flickering across his face Bro… are you… are you actually being helpful?

growling Shut up, shitty hair. I’m not doing this for them. I’m doing this so I don’t have to listen to them bitch all day.

a small, tired smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth That’s the most heroic thing I’ve ever heard, Bakugo.

snapping his head toward him The hell you say, insomnia?
