   Summary

   If there is one thing that he has learned, it is that surviving is hard. By itself, choosing to survive and continuing to exist will be one of the hardest things to accomplish. By the next day he’s surprised he didn't die the day before.

   He should be dead by now, right?

   Didn’t his story essentially end the moment he was handed his death sentence in a diagnosis? Or was that where it began?

   He’s not sure if he believes in beginnings and endings.

   Does it matter how an ending starts when the end is near? Does it matter who is there and who isn’t, what he endures or overcomes? Does it matter how hard he tries, or how much he cares?

   People like Izuku survive until they don’t.

   Is that Living? Is it Surviving? Is it Death?

   ...What's the fucking difference?
