The head of the foundation, really? That seems even more unlikely, but at this point I don't know why I'm surprised. Sounds like you can vouch for her character, in any case...
But at any rate you'd best make sure this actually gets to Midoriya eventually, since this probably would be relevant to his interests. I think I remember you telling me he does a lot of...creative writing, was it?
I guess one has to live up to being head of a foundation somehow. Those all sound like very useful skills to have, at least...did she teach you any of it while you were all together back there?
But good, you do that.
An entire script for a comic book, huh? [Aizawa would bet money the subject was probably superhero-related, gross......but well, he's not going to say anything about that. Shouto seems to have an appreciation for it, at any rate, no need to go shooting that down for no reason or anything. There's a wry air to the words as he continues, even if texts aren't audible like that.] Sounds like he has some potential with that going forward, in that case. Maybe he could write your scripts for you if you're continuing on with acting in the future. He gets work, you get better scripts, a mutual arrangement all around.
I worked on my Japanese. And I have a worksheet for Morse code now.
That would be nice. I know he wants to go into comic books, but maybe he'll do comic book movies too. It'll be better than, "Oh no. I've been stabbed. I'm dying."
Yes. I didn't say my roles were good. Especially when I was starting out.
I can speak a little from living with Mom. My listening comprehension is better than anything else. My reading is maybe third grade level. I need a lot of furigana.
Fair enough, I suppose...I hope your roles are at least marginally improving by this point.
But I see, that makes sense. Seems like most people have trouble with kanji if they're starting from scratch...are you particularly conversational, or is it still fairly one-sided with your listening comprehension?
I have no idea what a reoccurring brother role usually entails, but that sounds like a positive thing. Not saying stupid things is generally a bonus in any aspect of life.
[But hmm. Hmmm. .......Ah, why not--]
Well, if you ever need any additional pointers on the grammar front and Ms. Sandiego happens to be indisposed, I'd say I wouldn't mind offering a few. Same with any reading.
I hope it continues to reoccur for awhile yet, then...
It's no problem. Talking about it's reminded me, but I'm probably getting fairly rusty with my own Japanese too...haven't needed to use much of it in awhile. This seems like as good a reason as any to knock the dust off, if it's going to be beneficial to somebody else at the same time too.
But hold on, it was? You were speaking Japanese? [WAIT...wait.....actually, why had he never thought about it before? Now that it's being mentioned...] That's...hm. That's interesting. Now you've brought it up, I suppose I was too...
It's an odd disparity if your other self is fluent and you're not at the moment, but in reality I guess that's just as much of a possibility as anything else. ...That would seem to imply a different kind of upbringing too, though. At the very least...
Can't get much more indisputable than that. I think...
[It's odd, the way the knowledge kind of itches at the back of his head. It doesn't belong there, but it's such a strong part of the background--of those memories--that it just sort of unearths itself, when he actually stops to think about it? Everybody was speaking Japanese in those memories...
Like back home, huh. But it'd seemed so utterly normal he hadn't paid it a second thought.
...Weird. He finds he doesn't really like to dwell on it, so he doesn't.]
We were probably all in Japan, for that matter. If we were all in the same country for the majority of these memories, anyhow... [but wait] ...Tatami mats, though? For a dorm room? That's pretty unconventional.
[Actually, now that he thinks about it... How is he understanding so much of that Japanese, when it's not the kind of thing that he talks about with his mom?
He'd probably get a headache if he thought about it for too long, so he'll go ahead and just. not do that.]
I remodeled it. I think it was carpet or hardwood before. I couldn't relax without the tatami mats. Maybe my double's house was the traditional Japanese type?
[NOT THINKING ABOUT IT TENDS TO HELP A LOT, APPARENTLY....]
You...couldn't relax. [memory-shouto what does that even mean, oh my god] That might be a reasonable explanation, sure...though that's very traditional indeed, if that's the case.
And you remodeled it off the cuff, you're saying? Guess that's something they must allow over there... [Speaking of not thinking about things: the more he thinks about all of what he's reading here, the more he's...starting to wonder now, great....] Dorms for what, for that matter? You'd still be in high school, if you're the same age then as you are now. Is it some kind of boarding school, then?
[Huh....Aizawa frowns at this last sentence even as he's typing it out. There's something different nagging at the back of his head now.]
That doesn't seem No, that seems only half right... [aizawa what]

Carmen is the head of the foundation. I was with her and nine other people while I was missing.

I'll try sending it again.
He does a lot of that. He wrote a script for a comic book. It was better than some of the scripts I've been given.
no subject
But good, you do that.

I think I grew up in Japan. My dorm room had tatami mats instead of carpet or hardwood flooring.

I thought they were school dorms. Since Izuku was there and there were a bunch of the other classmates around.
Do you remember something?
