''I guess it's different when you've grown up with it.'' She nodded softly. ''Some people would probably freak out if their quirk was making chains too.'' She looked at the palm of her hand. ''But to me that's just my normal.'' She looked back up at Iphi, shocked at the revelation that her early school life had been easy. Not because she doubted it, she had just never really sat down and thought about it. ''No way, I was once of those who had to study a lot.'' She chuckled, ''I'd have been so jealous of you if we were in the same class.''She didn't know what to say as Iphi stuck her tongue out, other than laugh and do it back at her. ''You think so?'' She folded her hands on the desk. ''Maybe I am. All common sense goes out the window when it involves him. Like I can't think straight at all.'' It was a good thing it didn't interfere with her work too much, or it might prove troublesome since they shared workspaces. ''I hope he has, but I don't blame him if he hasn't. He doesn't owe me that.'' She shrugged casually. ''You too, huh? I'd love that, I was just thinking there's this great place on the corner.'' She grimaced when Iphi mentioned her boy troubles and blushed, insisting as they headed out of the agency and onto the streets of Tokyo. ''I don't have boy troubles!''Iphigenia Pavlina

''I couldn't imagine. It's a real Faustian bargain. I wouldn't mind being better at taking tests or doing detective work, but if the price was I couldn't enjoy movies or theater the same way?'' She shrugged. Entertainment was her escape from the world after a long day of work, what would she do if she couldn't enjoy that? ''L-Let's just forget I ever asked!'' She tried to quickly brush past it with an awkward chuckle. She was really happy to see that Iphi was enjoying her gift. Sadako had a feeling she would be enjoying hers too. ''Turning the conversation back on me, are we?'' She rubbed the back of her neck, face turning beet red when Iphi asked if she had stayed the night at his place. ''It's... It's a secret!!'' She blurted out with an apologetic grin. She wasn't saying what had happened outright, but it was clear as day from how poorly Sadako hid it. Not that she could ever really deceive Iphi. Besides, she hated lying in general. ''It's totally different when it's other people and their problems.'' She sighed, sinking into her seat a bit. ''Felix and I go way back, I was younger then, said a lot of dumb things to him that still keep me up at night. I apologized for it, but it feels like it's not enough.'' When Iphi mentioned her plans she smiled. ''Sounds like you and your sister have a lot in common.'' It was her turn to tease her friend back, but her question was almost immediately reversed on back to her. ''I- uh I'll ask him out, probably. He might be busy and I don't want to bother him all the time. In any case, I'm looking forward to some time off.'' Iphigenia Pavlina

''That's okay.'' She smiled warmly at Jun. ''Most students who come into my office for the first time haven't sat down like this before. Hero training is tough, we keep your minds and bodies occupied with things to do all the time. Few stop up to think about whether they need help or not and even fewer reach out. That's one reason for this intervention.'' Her looks weren't lost on Sadako. Jun clearly wasn't happy about what had happened, or that she reacted so negatively to being touched, otherwise she wouldn't look like she did, or even have showed up at all. ''I want to preface our conversation by saying you're not in trouble. I don't care what any other teacher, or student might have said to you after the incident. You're not in trouble, and you're not weird. You're Junsuina Kanjo. You're human and you have something you want to improve about yourself.'' She did her best to try and position herself both in a position of authority, but also as someone who genuinely cared for Jun's well-being, because she did. Sadako would never have taken this job if she didn't care for the students of UAU. ''So, let's talk about you. You don't have to say more than you want, but the more you talk the more I'll be able to help you. Just know, I'm not looking to push you or pry anything out of you, I want to help.''Taking up her clipboard she scribbled down a couple of words and looked back at Jun. ''Let's start simple, how are you feeling?''junsuina

''Isn't she scary?''''They say Recall never sleeps, that it's part of her quirk.''''Is she even human? How did she figure that out all on her own?''Being Iphigenia's best friend she often felt like no one really knew her bestie. The Iphi she knew was night and day different from the one that circulated in rumors. It had started back in their student days and while it had gotten better, journalists or other nosey people occasionally asked her what it was like to be business partners with someone like Iphi. Maybe it was because they were so different, but Sadako always felt that it was in these differences where their friendship really shone. They also had a lot more in common than she had first thought. At a glance, if they hadn't been roommates back then, Sadako might have thought Iphi was hard to approach, but she was glad she wasn't. She was glad that they were zooming down snowy hills, upholding their silly traditions and being competitive over nothing. ''No way!'' She chuckled, adjusting her position slightly so she didn't lose her balance. ''That means you're winning already, I never stood a chance.'' She teased, loving that Iphi had taken those words to heart and that they were getting to the bottom at the same time. ''Right?'' She pulled up her goggles and let out a relieved sigh. ''I thought it was going to be me for sure.'' She smiled at Iphi before nodding her head. ''Intermediate and cocoa? Sounds perfect, I feel fired up after conquering the beginner hill!''Words Sadako probably wouldn't have spoken, had she said them from the top of the intermediate battlefield they now stood on. There were still plenty of people here, although less than on the beginner one. Everyone seemed to go down it so effortlessly and wait a minute... Was that a child?! Some people really were born natural talents. ''See you at the bottom!'' She smiled at Iphi before pushing ahead, taking the plunge first this time. Iphigenia Pavlina

''Now that you mention it, in all the years I've been showing you horror movies you always predict the twists before the end.'' Iphi's mind was truly, well, mindboggling. Wasn't it annoying that she was always so good at predicting plot lines? Could she even read novels for fun? The puzzle she had bought for her wasn't even for your regular puzzle enthusiasts, it was advertised as being insanely difficult, only something a real brainiac would enjoy. She got a little flustered when Iphi started teasing her for asking for a hug. It was pretty silly considering how long they had known each other, she couldn't even explain why she had asked other than it just felt right to ask. ''I just wanted to make sure! I didn't want to hug you unprompted if you weren't in the mood.'' She stuck her tongue out at Iphi briefly, before laughing it off and returning the hug. ''With Felix?'' She smiled, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she sat back down. ''He invited me over to his house on a date.'' She looked down at the table shyly, trying to downplay her excitement. She didn't want to get her hopes up too high only to crash and burn. ''Things are going... Great! Slow, but I think we're getting back together. I-It's complicated!'' She apologized with a little laugh. ''People always are.'' She'd know all about it considering her job was trying to understand people so she could help them move forward in life. ''Do you have any other plans for the holidays? I'm looking forward to our mountain trip.''Iphigenia Pavlina

''Oooh I see! Like the Japanese Alps. They took you when you were pretty young then.'' Sadako stretched her arms as she hopped off the lift, it all felt so familiar she couldn't help but feel incredibly nostalgic. Did any other place in Japan make her feel this way? ''Right? Do you think they upgraded it since last time?'' Did lifts ever get upgraded to go faster? It didn't sound like a huge priority, but Iphi really did have her convinced they had ascended to the top faster than usual. With one glance she put her snow goggles down over her eyes taking in the sight of the hellish beginner hill. Could she conquer it like she had done so easily in the past? ''Huh? Iphi! Wait for me!'' She chuckled, standing upright and leaning forward to chase after her friend. She always got blindsided by her like that, but loved every moment where Iphi was cutting loose and not thinking about work or secretly doing work. Sadako was off to a rough start, having her arms outstretched to try and better balance herself, but her muscle memory kicked in and soon she had gotten the hang of it, weaving around people while maintaining a safe distance. As she kept on Iphi's trail she looked at a tree they were about to zoom by. She remembered falling here the first time her and Iphi came to the mountain and feeling so embarrassed that she had slipped and fallen in front of her friend. That was back when little mistakes still made her embarrassed around Iphi. ''Don't think you're going to win so easily!'' She called after her, grinning. Iphi was absolutely going to beat her at this rate, but she still wanted to keep up the guise of competition to keep things exciting until the end. Iphigenia Pavlina

She only believed it when it was Iphi saying it. She didn't at all feel like a leader, but she took some of the workload that she was better suited for. If anything, her and Iphi were just highly optimized. Iphi often handled a majority of the paperwork and really nerdy stuff, but Sadako often spoke to the press, having a knack for knowing to say what they wanted to hear without putting their agency in a bad light. It helped that she was a counselor at UAU as well, and well-regarded on her other job too. She watched with anticipation as Iphi opened her gift. She wasn't exactly bad at giving gifts, but one of her worst fears was giving a disappointing gift, especially to her best friend. ''You like it?'' She perked up as Iphi interacted with the ring, doing all sorts of things she didn't even know it was capable of! When she had picked it out, it was because she knew Iphi loved puzzles and it was something that could keep her mind occupied, but also wasn't just more work. ''I thought it might be something for you. ~'' She smiled, looking down at her own present. ''I wonder what you could have gotten me.'' Only one way to find out. Unwrapping her gift she picked up two tickets to a play. ''Are these tickets to a play?'' Her eyes were practically sparkling, then the implication dawned on her. ''D-Did you intend for me to take him?'' She blushed, smiling back at her. ''That's so thoughtful and sweet!'' Who did she usually hang out with? Taking someone to a play, it would either have to be Felix or Iphigenia. ''Thank you, can I give you a hug?'' She stood up and walked over, stretching her arms out to hug her. Iphigenia Pavlina

Sadako laughed and took the little nudge, she deserved that. ''I know right?? The students keep saying I'm old and maybe that mentality is rubbing off on me.'' They always said it as a joke, but were they wrong? In a business so dangerous how many truly made it to retirement? She didn't want to dwell on it. Theirs was a new profession anyways, not like they had been around for long enough to even have heroes that old. She let out a silent gasp at Iphi's words and put her hands together as she smiled. ''You saw right through me! I'm no risk taker, can we start on the easy course? Once I'm warmed up we can conquer the pro slopes.''Not only was she getting to hang out with her best friend, but she was teaching her some interesting facts about her home in the process. ''Oh really? I can't imagine winters without layers and layers of snow.'' She took a sip from her thermos and looked over at Iphi as she started bundling up. ''Not as much. I still get cold, but I guess my tolerance is a little different. Us Gotohs are naturally cold, even if my quirk doesn't reflect it as dramatically as Rin's does. I practically grew up around chronically cold people so at a certain point I started building a tolerance. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer staying warm.'' She took a moment to enjoy the view as they climbed further and further up. ''Did you ever go skiing before coming to Japan? Did you have the mountains for it back home?''Iphigenia Pavlina

''It is.'' She grinned, happily handing her the tea. ''Two oldies in the hero business testing out if they can still balance on well enough on their feet to go down a mountain safely.'' She took a small sip as she listened to Iphi talk. ''Right? We're relatively new to the hero scene and yet sometimes it feels like we're being treated as veterans. As for our popularity...'' She grinned smugly behind her thermos, before pointing a finger at Iphi and giving her a small wink. ''I bet you're driving up the interest! Who wouldn't want to work closely with Recall herself? That's a huge career boost for anyone!''''Ready as I'll ever be!'' She stretched her arms as she got out. ''Now that you mention it...'' From the parking lot to the trail heading up, had this place changed at all since they were last here? ''Isn't it kind of like a time capsule? Almost like time hasn't passed since we were last here.'' She stood there for a moment, just amazed at it all before she grabbed her backpack. ''How confident are you in your abilities? Are we going to the intermediate slope, or the beginner slope first?'' She smiled, thermos in hand and her equipment on her back. ''It's funny, I never thought to come here alone.'' As they started their climb she started feeling sentimental for some reason. It wasn't that she didn't have the free time to come here, but there was something about it that just didn't feel right unless she did it with Iphi, unless it was for the sake of their fun little tradition. Besides, if she wasn't going somewhere with Iphi, she was most likely taking her sister places or going on dates with Felix. Rin wasn't the snowboarding type and there was a plethora of other, more romantic things she could do with Felix in the city. ''Do you like the cold, Iphi?''Iphigenia Pavlina

Chugen indeed, as expected of her genius best friend nothing slipped past her brilliant mind! ''H-Huh? Wait no way! You got something for me too?'' That she considered her the heart of the agency was enough to make her own heart melt. Still, her question remained. Left or right? It was a dirty trick question considering both options she had provided for Iphi were wrong, meaning the game was rigged against her from the start. Sorry Iphi, no hard feelings, but if she wanted to bamboozle her she had to pull out all the stops and- Eh? Did she just say behind her back? Had her trick already been exposed? Her face turned red as she laughed back. ''Didn't get away with it, huh? I expected nothing less of you!'' She grinned, showing her hands to reveal both were empty, but then using her chains to roll the gift out from under her blazer and into her hand. ''Sure!'' She sat down and put her gift on the desk as well. ''What a surprise, I wonder what you got me? ~'' She took the present Iphi slid towards her and looked down at it for a beat, before looking back at her best friend. ''Is it okay if I open it here?'' She really had no idea what to expect of Iphi. She had known her for years and what she learned about her was to expect the unexpected. When she first met her she had the same impressions as a lot of people might. That she's a genius, but also a little distant and someone who doesn't care too deeply about others. That simply wasn't the case, in fact it couldn't be further from the truth. Minus the genius part of course! She was undoubtedly really smart, but her heart was just as big as her brain. ''Here's yours, you've earned it.'' She giggled, sliding her gift for Iphi across the desk. Iphigenia Pavlina

She let him speak and listened attentively. It was probably what he needed right now. To vent and get all these horrible things he had experienced off his chest so he could hope to move forward. As long as he continued to work towards becoming a hero she could support him this way, but she wouldn't blame him or any other students who had gone through all that for dropping out after going through hell. ''Yeah. That's true, everyone has their reasons, even vigilantes, even villains.'' It sounded like he had got in a lot of fights, perhaps more than just fighting the elemental golems? Or had all this happened in the same encounter? It wasn't unthinkable that villains or vigilantes had gotten involved with the Rumbling Golem. If anything, they had been able to confirm villains were present for the other ones. ''Absorb you? Do you think your own quirk was trying to hurt you?'' She scribbled down a few notes. Beyond anything else Shion had mentioned, this was the most disturbing development. Had his quirk always had the capacity to hurt him, or had it evolved to hurt him? There were plenty of quirks that inflicted harm on their wielders, but she hadn't heard of a case where one evolved into doing it later in life. Either way, this was something she couldn't just ignore. She might need to call in another expert. ''Nonsense.'' Her voice was soft and comforting. ''You made it through all that and still came back to school, and came into my office to open up about it. If that doesn't make you a tough cookie, I don't know what does.'' She eyed the broom she had placed in the room for Shion. She was definitely going to get rid of it and not bring it back if he came in for more meetings. ''About Toto... I think it is best that we get in touch with Iphigenia Pavlina-sensei. She's our resident expert on quirks and quirk development and I think she could help you. If you want me to I can put in a good word for you.''Shion Utsui
