Nope.

Nothing at all.

...

Okay, that was a blatant lie.

Everything was going fine until the 4-TOWN ritual scene. Midoriya Izuku hadn't heard any commentary from a certain Kidney Bean in a while, and decided to glance over at her to see if she was still alive. His eyes widened at what he saw. Was Lou... asleep? But... how did they fall asleep sitting perfectly upright, irises frantically shifting under their closed eyelids, face contorted in... frustration? Pain? Deku, concerned, was about to gently shake the Author by the shoulder to wake her up, but then her eyes snapped open. Izuku jumped back a little.

"Agh–! Damn it," Lou muttered. "She's shutting me out again..."

"Who?" Deku asked. "Who's shutting you out?"

Lou then actually noticed Midoriya, throwing a carefree grin on her face and shaking her head. "Oh, no one. Sorry I worried you."

"Lou-san," he said darkly, "what the hell was that? Are you okay? I-is something wrong?"

Lou's eyes widened, that 'smile' never faltering. "Me? No, I'm fine. Everything's fine!"

"Please don't lie to me, Lou-san," Izuku insisted, eyes gleaming with concern and begging the Author for a straight answer.

Lou, her fake grin finally fading away, slowly blinked. "It's nothing for you to concern yourself with. Nothing harmful, nothing dangerous. I'm just trying to get in contact with a friend. Magically," she added before Deku could ask.

Izuku didn't press any further, forcing himself to relax as he concentrated on the most emotionally impactful scene of Turning Red in the bamboo-forest-mindscape-thing. Meanwhile, Lou pulled out their phone to view a text they had just received.
