[ He'll be the judge of that... It remains to be seen if he's the same or not. Shigaraki doesn't like change, not from Kurogiri, not from All For One, they're the two constants in his fucked up little life.

Maybe that uncertainty is what Shigaraki is picking up on? He can sense it, after all, how long have they known each other?

The fact that Kurogiri doesn't flinch makes him unbelievably happy (or as close to that strange emotion as he can get.) Setting his dry, dehydrated palm against their face, surprisingly gentle as he feels skin where before was only flickering fog and glowing eyes. ]

[ That's all he's willing to say about Dito, unless Kurogiri asks more. ]
