Izuku had never been quite sure how to feel about Shinso when he'd met the other at UA. He understood the other, of course. Related to him, really. They both spent their childhoods being talked down upon for something they couldn't help when they both just wanted to be heroes. They hadn't talked a lot even after the Sports Festival, though. Izuku tried to intitiate conversations sometimes, but ... well, it didn't ever really work out. Which was a shame. He really would've liked to get to know the other before he died.
But, well, that was the past. Which Izuku probably would've entirely let go of if it weren't for Aizawa's presence. Or the constantly appearing presences of classmates and such. They never stuck around for long, though. It was always short enough Izuku was kind of getting sick of it. Stop getting his hopes up, why don't you? Let him let go of UA forever at this point, please. He had duties, he couldn't just spend all day mourning or whatever. This was all a very dramatic mindset, though -- Izuku didn't really want to forget. He had the journals to prove for that, meticulously giving him all the info in case he does forget. He supposes he just ... feels like it's holding him back, sometimes. Holds him back from making friends or letting himself get fully enveloped by clan life. It's gotten better, though.
"I'm not the greatest person to explain, but Snowbound is a clan of, uh, people, living together. A society? We live here," Izuku never could figure out how to condense what clans were into a few words. It was just something he understood after a while. Granted, it probably didn't help that this not-English wasn't his first language. It was a wonder he was anywhere near fluent at all. Even so, as Izuku joins Jacob and Atbash and seats himself a little lopsidedy(thanks leg), he squints at the stranger. Familiar. Ominously familiar. Voice nd all. ... If this was another person from UA Izuku was going to throw a fit. Nobody ever told him why everybody else was dead. "I'm Izuku, if it makes you feel better." Izuku wanted to be pushy. Wanted to gently shove out a 'name please' or something because seriously, just confirm or deny it why don't you, he's happy either way. But name please wasn't even pushy, though it was by Izuku's standards. ... Honestly, he probably could, since Kacchan wasn't there to scream at him for it and try and ruin his confidence or something. Seriously, the worst he'd get is a scolding, not even an injury or a murder attempt or something, it was weird. Right, but. Anyways.
