[He'd never discuss Midoriya's vulnerabilities even in passing with most people, but Uraraka already knows them, and better than Paul does.]
It's admirable to want to protect everyone. I wish he'd count himself as part of everyone. The one person he always seems to forget.
But you know, he said something like that to me once, when we first met. Not allowing the past to define what the future will be, moving forward without giving up.
[He says it often, in one way or another, or in his actions, all with his bravely sunny smile.]
It seems like you're lucky to be friends. You can remind each other of that.
Yeah. I really, really hope that after everything...he's learned not to put everything on his shoulders like he used to.
[It remains to be seen, but Ochako trusts Izuku. She has since the start, and that's not going to easily change. If he's determined to change, to let others help him when the burden is too much to bear, then she believes he'll make that change. It just needed all of them to make him see that his life is just as important as everyone he sought to protect.]
You're exactly right Paul-kun. About everything. I'm really, really lucky to have made a friend like Deku. ...Izuku.
Hahaha, I like that idea!! I'm REALLY good at lifting weights, too. ;P
[Ochako can appreciate the serious matter taken in the form of a joke. They're all going through a lot right now - back home and in Trench, too. Izuku needs people like this in his life - those who can support him, don;t try to exactly stop him from doing what he feels in right in his heart, but to mitigate the damage he does to himself and support him when he needs it. Because no matter what, a team of strong people will always, always, be stronger than one person alone.]
Of course, and thank you too, Paul-kun. Please continue taking care of Deku when me and my friends can't, and I'll do the same. I'm sure he's said it already to you, but...he's very lucky to have found someone who care care about him as much as you do, too. I'll see you around then, ne? ♥

If either of us see him putting too much on his shoulders, we knock it off. We should be able to cover him from most angles.
[Delivered like a joke, but meant seriously. He's relieved to know that he isn't the only one who is looking out for Midoriya (Izuku) in this way.]
You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you for that.
You're right about a lot of things too.
gonna wrap this up here!!
I'm REALLY good at lifting weights, too. ;P
