A broken, powerless soul is lost to an unnatural fog. A cycle of pain and torment allows him to eventually become the hero he always desired to be. Even with his newfound position, some things are best left alone.

Sadako smiled as she collected the remaining Glyph crystals. This will give him all he needs. The Orange Glyph was annoying, though... it was a real headache. She waited for the portal to open... as in the TV to turn on. It was her only way to reach him. As soon as it did, she walked over to it, striding ungainly as she approached. Poking her head out, she found him asleep, worn through reading. Dropping to the floor, she approached carefully, so as to not wake him up. She didn't want to bother him, but wanted him to be in a more comfortable place, so she carefully lifted him with her telekinesis and brought him towards a sofa. She sat down on it, and sat him down on it. There, that should be... her thoughts were interrupted as gravity pulled Izuku down, so that he rested against her shoulder. What?! Uh... I... she felt a tightness in her chest as he did so. This was an emotion she hadn't felt in a long time. What is this? Why do I feel this way? His head of bushy green hair tickled her slightly as he shifted in his sleep. Smiling, she thought: This isn't so bad... but he's going to fall forward if he moves again... Then she smiled deviously under her long, dark hair, I do have a way to stop that...

Izuku was having a wonderful dream. It was of home, and it included all of the friends he made during his time here. He missed his mother. He missed Aunty Mitsuki, Uncle Masaru... not so much Katsuki, on further reflection. He had a reason to get home. One that he would fight tooth and nail to achieve. Not just for him, but for others. He had the capability now. And that got him to stir from his sleep. As he awoke, however, he found himself not at the desk, but on a sofa. It was comfortable... but then he could feel gentle fingers stroking his head. It was only then that he realized Sadako was here. And that she was letting him rest with her lap as a pillow. Blushing, he tried getting up, but she was a bit too strong with the assistance of her telekinesis.
Her voice was surprisingly gentle: "Did I... wake you, Izuku?" Meanwhile, his face immediately turned red as he stuttered, "N-No... but Sadako... why?" "Because you were tired... Do you not like it?" She almost sounded hurt, and that sounded way worse than even the most pained survivor's scream. At least to the greenette.
His face blushed harder as he apologized, "N-no, I do... but I need to get up."
Sadako laughed gently, which was... melodious, and nice to hear. "Very well." She released her grip on him, and he got up. She continued to laugh when he faced her, looking like a strawberry with how red his face was. Still giggling, she remarked, "That was hilarious! Hahaha..."
He didn't know what to say. So, she continued to speak, "Either way, I got what you needed." She opened her hand, and showed the other three crystals. One Purple, One Green, and One Orange. "The orange one gave me a real... headache."
"Thank you!" In the spur of the moment he hugged her, catching the onryo off guard. She reciprocated after a minute before they let go. She finally handed them over, and he took them over to the book, placing them in, one at a time. They watched as the book powered up, and then Izuku sighed with relief. "It's good to see it fully finished. Thank you, Sadako."
