So! At first, they didnât know each other very well, but Ochako thought she was very nice. She thought it was fun introducing Alex to new stuff like the arcade, and just chatting⌠and when she found out that Alex was a big sister, Ochako thought it made a lot of sense, because she just had that kind of vibe, you know? Like she just wanted to look out for the younger ones in the Realm, and Ochako honestly just appreciated her being there.
She was a little disappointed that Alex kept refusing help when it came to finding her brother, though. Things like that⌠theyâre always easier when thereâs a group on your side, and youâre not conducting the whole search on your own. And Ochako being a hero, she wasnât afraid of Alexâs world at all, even if Alex kept saying it wasnât safe. She just⌠wanted to do the hero thing and help however she could, but she had to respect Alexâs wishes, too, so she backed down and focused instead on telling Alex about happier things, because it sounded like that was something she needed to hear.
And thatâs pretty much how it went until suddenly the rabbits all got together, and Alex was there, too?! To be honest, Ochako was really pleased that the rabbits were all people that she liked, and that they could speak more honestly about things now. All of the rabbits kind of went ride or die pretty fast lmao, but with Alex⌠idk, they got a lot closer after that, between team meetings and just talking about their worlds and stuff. Ochako kind of felt like having Alex on her team meant sheâd gained an older sister, too, which was cool because sheâs an only child, so sheâs never had someone to look to like that before. It helped that Alex seemed interested in her daily life at home - not even the hero part, but just. School life and her friends? And that she seemed to have a vested interest in Ochakoâs own happiness in general. And yea, Ochako tried to avoid being teased about her crush and she FAILED at every turn, but with Alex, at least, it was a little better because she at least moved on quickly and didnât push.
Oof but that was also the week that Elsa and Mob died⌠Elsa was bad enough, given that it was their own team and they were all in on it, but Mob? Absolutely devastating. Ochako was more upset about that than anything that had happened in the Realm so far, but she was managing to hold it together until she found Alex. For some reason, talking about it with Alex while trying to gather another bouquet in his honor just⌠made it harder to hide how she was really feeling, when normally she can compartmentalize just fine. But that was her best friend, and here was her sister figure, hugging her because she knew exactly how bad it was, and she just couldnât hold it in. It wasnât as earth-shattering as her talk with Xie Lian later that evening, but she felt comfortable enough with Alex to let the tears fall, which is pretty significant for her. Normally, she will only open up like that for her parents, but well⌠gestures at found family, I guess?
The weekend following sucked too, for so many reasons - not least of which was that both Ochako and Chiron volunteered to be victims the following week. Alex was pretty obviously upset about it, with good reason, and Ochako felt really terrible for contributing to making her feel that way, but all the same she didnât want to compromise her ideals, and what she wanted most was to save as many people as possible, even if sheâd forgotten about being a hero by this point. Volunteering when their team definitely had the numbers to manage the loss was the only way she could see to do that, so⌠she did. I donât think we tagged much that week, and icly, that would have been because Ochako was lowkey avoiding her so she didnât remind Alex about that terrible conversation and make her feel bad again.
Then Ochako really did die! And that wasnât great! But she made it back the next week, just like she planned, so it all worked out. They did have that conversation when she returned about how coming back didnât erase the pain of her death, and yeah, Ochako did have plenty of people to apologize to for her part in organizing it. But she was just glad to be back, and honestly, quite relieved that Alex was among those that had made it to the end. The less pain she had to endure, the better - that was part of why Ochako had volunteered in the first place.
And their team won, so they got wishes?! So of course Ochakoâs first wish was to demand they all have a way of visiting each other again. There were a lot of people she was thinking of when she made that wish, but Alex and her boys were not an insignificant part of it. Besides which, she thought Alex deserved a way out of her world if she really thought it was so terrible - but yeah, only when she was ready to leave it. So sheâs glad to have given her that, and sheâs looking forward to showing Alex her own world someday. More than anything, Ochako hopes to see her find a place where she can really be happy instead of constantly worrying about this or that, no matter where it is that she chooses.
