I have very much appreciated this whole fic, especially this chapter. I developed an energy limiting chronic illness well into adulthood. It can be hard to strike the right tone in talking about Izuku losing OFA, easy to accidentally say things that imply he has less worth or a diminished life, but at the same time it’s important to recognize the loss. You hit that balance wonderfully, in my opinion. And friends can really struggle with the right thing to say. I really love how Katsuki is shown struggling to find the right thing to say, but never says the worst things just things that aren’t quite right or helpful, but keeps trying and finally hears what Izuku needs to hear. I hope people who read this follow that example. Just so well done. I don’t know if you also have a disability that is relevant or not, either way, thank-you.
This comments means so much to me omfg. No, I don't have a disability, but I'm happy to know that you think I conveyed the emotion in this chapter well! These two mean the world to me, much love!! <3
