[A week has gone and past, as has the first of your number. The Researcher revealing himself, more or less, by punishing Patches, the Trusty, for pushing an unclear boundary.]

[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]

[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

Salutations, Mister Midoriya.

[Penny's a little subdued as Izuku enters the media room, but it looks like everything's pretty well handled.]

[There's a cooler of drinks chilling on a table, and a popcorn machine percolating away with the scent of salt and butter.]


The movie won't be starting for another hour or so, sorry. Did you need anything?

Hi, Penny-san.

[Izuku looks about as subdued, but for Penny it's a bit more unusual. Or maybe not, given what Neku pointed out before...her spacing out, and all. It's really curious, honestly.]

No, I'm okay...I thought I'd come by early since I wasn't doing anything else.

...do you need any help with anything?

Oh, no, thank you.

[She does smile a little, grateful at the offer.]

I think I've got everything well handled. Um- if you want, you could scoop out some of the popcorn into bags, once it's done?

Of course.

[He decides to set aside his notebook for the time being and stands so he can wander over to where she is, grateful for the distraction. He needs to get out of his own head for a minute.]

Penny-san, if you don't mind me asking...how come you are having this movie night in the first place?

[She pauses, arranging some packaged candy on a table.]

It really was supposed to just be something nice, for everyone working so hard on the challenge.

[Penny fiddles with a packet of off-brand M&Ms.]

After- what the Researcher did, though-

[She spares a quick glance up at one of the cameras, just for a second.]

,,,I don't know. I mean- I THINK he's actually serious, and- I'm just- ...I don't know what else to do. I know this isn't- going to just FIX anything, or stop it if someone takes him seriously, but. It's something, I guess? Does that make sense?

[...oh.

Izuku blinks slowly, regarding Penny with his expression largely strained, yet sympathetic.]


...you had no idea he was going to do this, did you?

No.

[She shakes her head.]

He's my friend, he's always told me, before, what he was going to do, but this- no.

Do you have any idea what might have made him decide to do something like this?
