She laughed at Mark's response. ''I think I get it.'' A woman so bad, like a devil in disguise? He really had a way with getting himself into trouble, didn't he? It wouldn't at all surprise her if some day stories about Lone Wolf being an absolute delinquent when he was younger began to surface. Nevertheless, she wasn't going to tease him any further. Maybe if their reason for being in a car together wasn't so urgent she would have, but she needed to switch gears and mentally prepare herself to save people and fight villainy once they reached Tokyo Bay.

''No need to unpack here. Maybe one day over coffee, or at the next barbeque?'' She talked to him while still keeping her eyes on the monsters in the distance. ''At first I didn't like you, Lone Wolf-san.'' A dislike born from ignorance, and her inability to understand how he could treat the students so roughly. ''But I think I more or less get your reasoning. We both want the same thing for the school in the end, we just go about it differently.'' She slowly began manifesting a chain out of her hand, using her quirk to essentially draw her weapon. ''Don't worry, by the way, that was ages ago.'' She smiled over at Lone Wolf. ''Now we've been colleagues for longer. I guess first impressions are hard, aren't they?'' She knew she didn't always make the best first impressions either. To make matters more complicated, Lone Wolf was raised in a culture that was completely separate from her own.

Sadako continued to pull against the tendril with all her strength, and once Lone Wolf so expertly sniped it out and weakened it, she yanked as hard as she could, ripping part of the tendril off and freeing the civilian in the process. She sprinted as fast as she could to catch the civilian before they hit the ground. ''You're safe now, evacuation is that way, just follow the road and try to lay low.'' She reassured the civilian, only having mere seconds with them before the beast went on the move towards her and Lone Wolf. ''Fertilizer?'' She asked as she dashed around a tendril that came for her. ''My quirk isn't great for fighting this thing and I assume we'd need a lot of fertilizer... Do you have any special rounds that are 'definitely legal to own'?'' She sure wouldn't mind setting fire to this thing with incendiary ammo or blasting it away with explosive ammo, but she didn't know what he had on hand.

''Oh, how cold. ~ Did she talk back to you like Iphigenia did?'' She giggled, finding the perfect opportunity to tease him. ''A personality like a demon? Only one hero comes to mind, but she looks more like a demon than she acts like one.'' Talking with Lone Wolf so casually made her realize how little they had actually interacted outside of work. She wasn't too surprised considering they were both busy people, but it was fun to get to know him even if it was a brief conversation heading into a chaotic job.

''I see.'' She let out a small sigh, shielding her eyes from the Sun with her hand as she looked out over the Bay. ''In many ways we serve opposite roles to the student body. Makes it fun to pick at your brain a bit. If I was in your shoes I think I'd go crazy.'' She held up a hand when he brought up guns. ''I can manage, I've never fired a gun before so I'd just get in your way.'' She quickly looked away from him again to take in their surroundings. Was someone already watching them? ''Ever the secret keeper, Lone Wolf-san.'' She turned back to smile at him. ''Don't worry I haven't seen a thing.'' Her attention was grabbed by the starfish off in the distance. ''Gross. I'll charge ahead, can you back me up with that thing?'' She pointed at his shotgun.

There was no time to stand around as a scream came from the direction of the starfish, a tendril having latched onto a civilian that it was slowly dragging through the air. Sadako immediately entered into a full sprint and manifested two chains in either of her hands, slinging them at the tendril in question to try and slow down the monster's pull, entering into a tug of war she couldn't win. Even with solid footing she wasn't exactly made of pure muscles. Hopefully this was where Lone Wolf could back her up?

''Yeah..'' She said, still catching her breath and glancing down at his golf club. ''I didn't interrupt anything, did I?'' She added with a smile. Was it normal for golfers to practice their swings in classrooms? She wasn't going to judge him for it. Every staff member working at UAU lead busy lives so maybe this was the only time he could get some practice in. She was about ready to take notes when the calm came in. Junsuina Kanjo would have to wait, when lives were on the line that had to take top priority.

''You do?'' She followed after Lone Wolf and got in the passenger seat next to him. ''Is that so? Monster attacks in Tokyo Bay? It's a popular place this time of year, who knows how many people could be in danger?'' She was already on auto pilot, sending texts around to some of her close hero colleagues. ''You had time to make bets? Was it with someone at the barbeque?'' Lone Wolf was an enigma to her. He seemed so unlike most heroes and yet you couldn't argue that he had earned the title.

She perked up when a message came in on her phone. ''I got a message from Masao Ando, she's one of the second year support students. She's in the process of helping Freja Helt and Ylva Riis evacuate.''

When they arrived at the scene absolute chaos awaited them. Screams, gunfire, sea monsters of all shapes and sizes and several housefires that were being contained with varying levels of success. Getting out of the car Sadako fastened her tie. ''Lone Wolf,'' Since they were officially on the go now she used his hero name. ''At a glance, how would you say this matches up to one of your gauntlets?'' She was both trying to lighten the mood, but also gauging whether any students that had been caught in this thing had a chance of making it out.

Even if Jun didn't say it, it was evident that the emotions that fueled her quirk caused her a lot of trouble. It was usually the case for students with quirks based in emotions in her experience. Emotions were a powerful thing after all, and especially young people, who were still growing and learning and becoming their true self, they had a lot to grapple with, more than anyone else. ''Some? Not all emotions?'' It might be a minor detail, but she thought it worthy to note down at least.

''Kaida Ikarashi, she's in her fourth year, correct?'' She scribbled something down and looked back up at Jun. Could it be that Kaida was the key to solving Jun's problems? If everyone could 'become like Kaida' to Jun, then Jun wouldn't have as many problems with physical contact. However, that might prove tricky depending on what criteria exactly made Kaida so different. A close friend? A love interest? A person she admired? There was so many possible answers and they probably weren't going to find one today, but as long as they made progress and as long as Jun got a little happier, that was good enough for Sadako. After all, she couldn't force any of this anymore than Jun wanted. Jun had the power during these appointments. She was free to end it early, or not talk about how she truly felt if it started hurting her too much. ''Have you known her for a long time?''

When they last talked, she had Jun down as a maybe for coming back. Not because she didn't want her in her office, but because a lot of whether Jun came back or not depended on her and what she needed to get better. She was pleasantly surprised to see that she was wrong and of course happily took Jun down back for another meeting. They had only just gotten started on her journey to improvement,
but Sadako swore she was already looking better and healthier since the last time they talked.

''You can't let guilt of the past guide you. The past is already in the past. It has already happened and we can't change that. I know that sounds overly simple, but focusing too much on the past only leads to losing focus of your present.'' Her struggle was one that wasn't all too common to Sadako. She had trained herself up to be a powerful student. In terms of output, you couldn't deny Jun was one of the top performers at the school. However, all that output was hard to control. Usually Sadako found that it was the other way around with students, that they got to know their quirks, learn to control them, but then struggle to have the resolve, or power to output enough, or sometimes more than enough to go beyond. ''In your own words, what do you think it is you are lacking?''
