[WELL THEN. That was, uh...that sure wasn't the answer she was expecting to get, but it does answer, erm...a few of Ochako's questions about this dapper fellow. And normally she'd love to laugh this off with a bark and a wave of her hand as being someone's cruel sense of humor and picking at her big fear of ghosts and ghoulies, but this place - wherever they are - has felt haunted the moment she woke up here.
And yet, despite her fears, and the fact the color definitely seems to fade from those usually rosy cheeks of hers, Ochako doesn't freak out as much as she expected she would. Is it because she's already been so desensitized to death during her year as a Hero trainee, during the war in and of itself? Of course she's scared, and feels her stomach churning uncomfortably, but she just sort of lets herself sit and stew in silence until she's caught her breath a little bit.]
...Eh, s-sorry, I um-- [She purses her lips, wringing her hands together - a bad habit.] I'm very sorry you died... Are you a...spirit then? Are you trapped here?
[Her next question would have been "how can I help", because that's just how Ochako is, but her throat seems to tighten up a little bit and she swallows down the lump instead. Yeah, there's also that buzzing in the back of her head. If he's dead, and other voices and stuff sound like haunted whispers, why is she here? Is she on the verge of death? Is this some kind of limbo? But how? What happened?? Is everyone else back at UA safe? Was there a breach? What about her parents--]
