Minato wasn't expecting that at all. Somehow, he'd thought Ryoji would be immune to things like that. He's... he's Ryoji. He basically can't be killed, and yet--
And yet this place can turn him to stone.
....... It's a pretty heavy thing to learn following Mitsuru's disappearance, and feels almost directly targeted.]
Thank you for letting me know, Midoriya-kun. I'll come by later to check on him, if that's okay. I don't doubt you, but this is the sort of thing I want to see for myself, if that makes sense.
So he's going to be quietly shutting his laptop and moving his way over to Izuku's home, though...admittedly, he walks a bit slower than he probably should. It's a lot to process, and he's suddenly feeling very tired--
But even so, he keeps moving forward.
He needs to see Ryoji, after all. So eventually, he knocks.]

I hope this isn't going to spread... Serket-san stayed like that for a pretty long time, didn't she?
no subject
Iida-san too...? Are you okay?
