Voice trembling, whispering It's like... I can never do enough, y'know? Always falling short.
Goldre
i nod and sit on the ground i get it…
sniffles I just... I want to be stronger, you know? But it's like... no matter how hard I try, it's never enough.
Goldre
hey look at it this way… with every mistake you learn… so if you put a plus ultra on your mistakes you could become stronger than you could ever imagine
pauses, wipes away tears Plus Ultra... I like the sound of that. But what if I fail again? What if I'm not strong enough?
Goldre
then you try again
stands up, determination in his eyes You're right, Goldre. I can't let myself fall short anymore.
Goldre
i believe in you!
takes a deep breath, clenching his fists I won't give up. From now on, I'll keep pushing, keep trying, and keep learning.
Goldre
I smile
walks over to a bulletin board covered in sticky notes and papers
Goldre
I listen intently
grabs a marker and starts writing on a new note "Plus Ultra - Mistakes are opportunities to grow stronger." sticks the note on the board
Goldre
that’s a great motto
picks up another paper and writes "Try again tomorrow, even if it fails." sticks it on the board "Never give up, always push forward."
Goldre
I smile and watch him
picks up a stack of books and starts flipping through them
Goldre
I watch
Deku becomes obsessed with self-improvement and starts neglecting his relationships and health in his quest for strength.
Goldre
dek.. are you ok?
puts down the books, staring intensel I'm fine, Goldre. Just focusing on getting stronger.
Goldre
you’re gonna make yourself sick
runs his hand through his hair, frustrated I know, Goldre, I know! But I can't help it.
Goldre
look at this chart here, you’ve only been working out for an hour a day, most days you don’t even work out at all
grabs the chart, analyzing it closely Work out more? That's what you're saying?
Goldre
yes.. a bit more balance would be good
narrows his eyes, determined Alright, Goldre. I'll listen to you. I'll start exercising for longer hours and make sure to get some rest.
Goldre
I smile
immediately grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by creating a schedule. I need to prioritize both my workouts and rest time.
