Right. That's as much as we know—so let's work towards that.
[she pulls ochako back just a little, and boops her on the nose affectionately.]
...You can take as much time as you need, you know. Nobody is going to tell you when you are or aren't supposed to be okay. So... make sure you let me know if I can help be there when you need it.
[ that's... so sad? elsa's such a nice person, she deserves to be surrounded by friends.
at that question, though, her eyes turn away. ]
Not a lot, really. I can't go on a lot of missions yet, with only my provisional license. I've only been on one big mission so far, and maybe we did save some people but finishing it, and we definitely completed our goal, but... one of our team died, a few days later.
Well… you don’t have to be. I don’t know how long we’ll be here, but I think it’ll help all of us if we keep supporting each other.
[ she give a slow nod. ]
I know we did. But it still feels like a failure, that we didn’t get there in time to save him. I didn’t even know him that well, but if it weren’t for Sir Nighteye, we wouldn’t have been able to finish it at all.
[ it was a noble sacrifice. it’s just hard for her to say that it was worth it, even when it meant so much good came out of their success. ]
Heroes are supposed to save lives. So I don’t ever want to be too late to do that again.
[ except… she’d been too late for two others, just this weekend. ]

Okay?

I know. It’s just… hard to take in. [ for all of them, ochako knows. she’s not the only one having trouble, but she nods. ] Okay. Thanks, Elsa-san.
...But you have to tell me if you need help, too, okay? I’m still training to be a hero, so if there’s something I can do, I want to try.

[hee hee]
Have you saved a lot of people? Being a hero in training?

I'm sorry for your loss, Ochako. I'm sure that if you completed your goal, though, you did save many people.
