Her friends were all here and having fun. Could they really? Just enjoy themselves and be free for once? No insistence from her parents either here. No one was here to push her to excel, to become a pro, to be at the top of her class. While she put on a brave, normal face at school, Momo was often under a lot of pressure at home to do well. She enjoyed studying, yes, but she also knew what was at risk with her future if she didn't push herself. It was why she was the best student and even the best athlete of their class, despite using her Quirk in practice like the other students had. She just wanted to be the best because she knew she had to be, simple as that.
“A Christmas tree contest? Well, I’m glad that we continued the U.A. pride here and won, of course,” she said, smiling still. “I would have liked that a lot, to be honest. Decorating and shopping are two of my favorite activities. I do like someone with a good fashion sense, too.” She winked playfully, her steps becoming a little lighter as they kept walking. “What else do you all do here with your free time? I don't hear much talk of villains, which honestly is refreshing for a change. I was a little surprised, but also relieved. I mean, how strange is it that our professors are here, but our age? All Might and Professor Aizawa? Have any of you talked to them? I bet Midoriya went wild at getting to meet a younger All Might.” She glanced sideways as they started to cross the street, keeping to neutral topics still. It was no secret that Midoriya was just about the biggest All Might fan out there.
