After the war, Izuku feels like his classmates are acting strangely around him, especially when it comes to the bald patch on his head that hasn’t healed. He notices awkward glances and whispers, leading him to believe they’re avoiding him out of pity. Determined to find out what’s going on, Izuku overhears a late-night conversation and discovers that Bakugou started a betting pool about whether his hair will grow back. To make things more absurd, Denki bought him a cake with "Condolences" written on it in case his hair doesn’t return. Instead of being hurt, Izuku bursts into laughter, realizing his friends aren’t pitying him—they’re just handling things in their own, somewhat ridiculous, way.
