give me one chance to [...joining...] mend the pain

[arcy]

Izuku, of course, is a little caught off guard by Cry's exclamation as well. He finds himself squinting at the bird in near puzzlement. Was it a joke? Was she being serious? Was Izuku's vision bad enough that he hadn't figured it out? Her voice? He's very confused and very concerned. He'd be more stressed about it if Atbash hadn't thought the same, but Izuku's ears flatten for a long few moments regardless.
Then, the moment is gone as Cry asks about the other members. He blinks a few times and shakes out his head as Atbash begins to explain. He doesn't really like thinking about how many people had just kind of .. vanished. How it was basically just him and Atbash as the main crew, and probably Aizawa whenever he showed back up again. If he did. Izuku was awfully paranoid, honestly. Maybe Aizawa had been killed by the illness or something and Izuku just didn't know and he still had the lion's scarf.
"Y .. yeah, it's .. mostly just us," Izuku says softly, wilting a little more and averting his gaze. He misses a lot of people from then, but it's .. fine. Izuku will keep on as he always does. He's too attached to this place to even consider giving it up for much of anything. Honestly, he might even hesitate if it ever came between here and, well, his old home. His old life. He could always just make new friends once it came down to it, as upsetting as it was. Still, he shakes it out after a long few moments, resuming grinning at Cry, though a little more hesitantly. "Everything's been .. a mess, really," He sighs. It's salvageable, at the least. With some work they could get back to where they needed to be.
