Midoriya couldn 't breathe.

He stared at the body in the alley. There were noises around him, but he couldn 't make out what they were. He couldn 't hear anything aside from his pounding heartbeat and the ringing noises against his eardrums.

He felt like he was going to throw up.

None of this made any sense.

Because of them 'that man died?

'What 'what do you mean he died because of us? ' Aoyama squeaked.

' 'Isn 't it obvious? ' Higuchi responded with a frown tugging on her lips. 'If you hadn 't stuck your noses into where it didn 't belong, this man would have lived. '

'Stuck our noses 'he was strangling a little girl! '

'And because of you, he failed. The kid he tried to kill survived and killed him in return. If he had successfully killed that kid off, no one would know who the culprit was. In other words, he would have lived. '

'So you 're saying we should have let him kill a child?! ' Iida shouted.
