["Alright" enough. That says a lot. Midoriya didn't promise they would get everything back, that they would return it all to normal as if nothing ever happened. No, they could only promise they would save everyone and do their damnest to do things better going forward. For everyone. Sappy shit like that.
But Shoto's right. Things are going to be alright. Better for some than for others.]
Aa. Graduation was delayed.
[Obviously. Shoto knew that already.]
Aizawa-sensei's still gonna be our homeroom teacher for our 2nd year.
[Yeah, the idea of having a "normal" school year without the shadow of war.
[It's true. Things won't be easy and even not having gone through it yet, Shoto understands it. He's not sure how to feel about it yet, other than proud of Bakugo-- of everyone. Maybe even a little bit himself. He was able to save his brother. That's more than he could ever ask for.]
I wish I could say I'm excited to get home to be back in school with you all. I'm proud of you, of everyone. But it's going to be a hard fight still, isn't it? To get to the point where I can enjoy Aizawa-sensei as our teacher again.
[There's a lot to process, even if Shoto's getting the information from word-of-mouth rather than experience. Bakugo still finds himself dealing with some shellshock in his private moments. The unreal feeling of surviving. Of going through a war. Of the monumental task that is recovering.]
You wish? What, you're content to stay here forever?
[Both surprise and mild taunting at best.]
Yeah, you've got a lot waiting for your when you return. Even though I told you this, you won't remember any of it when you go back.
It's not like I'm looking forward to seeing everyone hurt, Bakugo. Or seeing everyone in chains. I wish I could stay here, but I won't. I'll go home and I'll meet you in class.
We'll see. What you say is important, and you're my best friend. I'm going to try hard to remember it. I've heard before I won't, too, but I haven't tried.

Maybe we'll have the option to have both in the future.
I didn't remember anything from this place when I went home. But
I knew in my heart I couldn't lose. There were people waiting for me.
