[Kei Hada]

Opening his eyes was a mistake.

That was the first thought Kei had upon waking to lights shining directly into his eyes. Ugh. Bright. He closed them again and brought his hands up to cover them for good measure. They hurt less now, but slowly but surely his mind was waking as well. And as an over-thinker, that wasn't a good thing.

Where was he? He didn't remember falling asleep. He didn't even remember lying down - on what, a bed? It felt like a bed at least. That was good, a bad back was something he didn't want to have to worry about.

It should be good, but why was he in bed in the first place? He tried to think back, which was... surprisingly hard. It took a longer time than he'd like to admit to recall what he was doing.

He was in class. A very vibrant instructor was teaching it- the lights reminded him of her now. Other students were there but for some reason he couldn't think of their names or faces. Which was fine. Maybe. Hopefully. But it was a class. They were learning something. And now he was here. Did he take a break or? Wait, did he oversleep?

Oh god, the session was going on without him, he needed to get back.

Kei jumped out of his bed and oh god second mistake in his regained consciousness - his head was spinning. Chest tight, lights came back as he opened his eyes again. All these things amounted to him falling to the floor with a yelp.

Hebiru had prepared to welcome several visitors into her infirmary as soon as the Super Moves class was proposed, a precaution that as per usual proved to be almost prophetic. It did not take a genius to figure out the pattern, especially not with the amount of data she had access to. Hero students were quite prone to injury when pushing their limits or engaging in heroics. It was only to be expected. If they were fully capable from the start there would be no need for a university to teach them. Even so Hebiru hadn't quite expected Kei to be amongst the students most heavily affected. She was still in the process of removing the most dangerous substances -ones that were usually sufficiently safe within locked cabinets- from the vicinity when he awoke.    

"Are you alright, Hada-san?" She hoped he hadn't injured himself in the fall. That was a rather extreme reaction, one she made sure to make a mental note of while working towards a diagnosis. Rolling a wheeled cabinet closer and locking the wheels Hebiru knelt down in front of Kei. "Please remain from making sudden movements. How are you feeling?"

She carefully observed his reactions and body language as she talked. It was too early to draw conclusions but Hebiru had a few theories as to what occurred. "Can you stand?" She asked while gesturing towards the cabinet's handles to imply he could use them as handholds. While she lacked the strength to lift him from the floor she could catch him should he stumble and use her quirk to carry them both if need be. Regardless of whether he managed to stand by himself or whether she had to catch him Hebiru would direct him back to sit on the edge of the bed.

 "Hada-san. Do you remember what happened?"

He was breathing too fast he was pretty sure. He could hear it in his ear; feel the pace his chest was expanding and retracting. Shutting his eyes, Kei willed himself to slow his breath. There's a voice- muffled as if he were listening to it from underwater. Unable to parse it, he simply tuned it out for now. He hoped whoever it was would forgive him. Only when Kei felt himself more stable did he open his eyes to look up slowly.

Ah. The doctor. That made sense. "Hi Yanai-san," came his weak greeting. This was usually the part where he'd say he's fine. He simply tripped, such a klutz sometimes. It happens. But a shaky laugh escaped him instead at the question. "Not good." There was no use lying to medical personnel anyway.

Though he could move himself. It was the least Kei could do for likely scaring her by falling on his face. Nodding at her silent instruction, he carefully grasped the handles to pull himself up and seat himself on the edge of the bed. Already he was exhausted from the maneuver- just how weak was he?

Letting himself catch his breath first, the support student turned to Hebiru, finally able to focus on her face. "Remember what happened?" He furrowed his brow, thinking as he looked down on his hands. "I remember bein' in Stellar's class- she was teachin' us super moves. We all got partnered up for it. I might've used mine at one point?" He tried to make fists with his hands but his fingers wouldn't curl all the way. Worried eyes returned to the doctor. "I should be there still. How did I end up here?"

"You passed out during the class. Please rest assured it will not reflect badly on you. You were not the only one brought into the infirmary today."

Far from it. The super moves class had contributed but even so there was never a quiet day at UAU and no matter how many times she adjusted the standardized forms the student body found new creative ways to put themselves into a hospital bed. 

"May I ask what move you were attempting to develop?" Hebiru asked while shining a pen light into his left eye and then his right to reconfirm that he hadn't taken any neurological damage. With her deadpan expression and lack of intonation it was difficult to tell whether what she found was satisfactory. "Please run me through as much of the class as you remember. Start at the beginning and go from there." 

From what little she'd heard so far when Kei was brought into the infirmary Hebiru had several theories on what might have led to this, some more likely than others, but as a researcher she knew better than to draw conclusions with an incomplete set of data. No, the more she learned and analyzed first the more likely her assessment was to be accurate. As always her expression would give nothing away while Kei spoke but her mind was abuzz, slowly cataloging new info and making connections between everything that was said.

"I passed out?!" Kei's just about ready to do that again with how mortified he was. Sure he wasn't the only one to be brought to the infirmary - that's what infirmaries were for, they were places where hurt people were cared for - but he passed out. How did he pass out? Did the class see him do that? Surely they did- god, he must've looked like such a wimp-

A disgruntled noise escaped him when a light was shone in his eyes, the surprise snapping him out of his spiral. He rubbed them to ease the discomfort once the light went away. "What move?" Blinking, Kei let out a breath. "I was tryin' to duplicate particles in the air. It needed more focus than the usual." He hoped she didn't need him to elaborate. Hebiru had seen his file surely, so she would know what he could do.

Better than his colleagues would at least.

He still needed to answer her other inquiry. Kei sighed again. "Okay, what do I remember... we were in class. Introduced ourselves to each other and said what our Quirks were. I lied and said I could duplicate only water." Untrue, he said he could duplicate water, not only water. Still a lie by omission though. "The instructor - Stellar-san - she demonstrated her moves before pairing us up. I was partnered with-" He couldn't help his grimace at the memory. "Gen."

"I... I kinda focused a lot on our group, I don't remember what everyone else did, sorry," he admitted, sheepish. Kei could only hope their actions weren't important to Hebiru's investigation. She hadn't said anything so far at least. Which was kinda unnerving but you know.

"Anyway-" he wheezed. "Me and Gen. Partners. I didn't know what my move would be at the time, so we brainstormed. Gen was bein'..." Kei gestured vaguely, assuming the doctor was at least aware of the Quirk stealer's reputation. "Gen. I didn't know what my move was gonna be so he gave- suggestions." A pause as his breath grew shaky. Why though? He wasn't done.

Kei furrowed his brow but eventually continued after swallowing some air. "Uh, suggestions. He mentioned the particles so I tried to do that. Duplicate them. I was for a bit, but I guess it wasn't fast enough because Gen was super impatient about it- but then he started encouragin' me? Told me to keep goin', that I was already touchin' the particles, things like that."

He smiled a bit then. "I pushed harder - Plus Ultra and all that - and the fog actually got thicker! The whole room was covered in it, it was hard to see anythin'. I think my arms got tingly which made sense since that happens when I use my Quirk too much."

The smile would shrink when he reached the next part of his story. "While the fog was up though, uh-" Kei looked down as his breath picked up again, one hand reaching up to grasp his hair. "Um-" He bit his lip, not even realizing he no longer had his toothpick. All he could think about was what happened, unable to even iterate it.

God, if that's how he went down, he must've been such a loser.
