( If asked, Tsu would be honest and say that she missed her family. With how she had grown up, it had ultimately pushed her to grow into someone more mature and collected. She had siblings to look after, after all. While her parents were working hard, she wanted to be someone that they could depend on.

Tsu wasn't one to really talk about herself very often. Not because she she was hesitant to do so, she just wasn't as extroverted as others in their class. )

Two younger siblings. Mom and Dad worked a lot, so I'd watch them after school.

[It definitely shows that Tsuyu had to mature more quickly than some of the rest of their class, even those also with siblings, younger or older. Ochako actually quite appreciates her friend's level-headed, down to earth personality...it keeps her grounded, and balances out Ochako's rather energetic and youthful personality. She's not quite as genki-pilled as Hagakure or Mina, but she is pretty up there.]

Eeeh?! I never knew!! I must not have paid attention to the pictures in your room when we hang out or study... Will your siblings be okay now that you're living on campus? They weren't that much younger than you, were they?

[Ochako is assuming relatively young - possible primary school or so, maybe early middle school, but it must be tough now for her mother and father, if their eldest child was no longer available to babysit. Maybe they hired a sitter? Tsuyu wasn't crazy wealthy like Todoroki or Yaomomo, but she was decently well off, it seemed like.]

( If Tsu had hesitated to take on hero courses for any reason, it was because of her family. She never found taking care of her siblings burdensome. Instead, she found joy in being able to raise her siblings. )

Samidare is 10, and Satsuki is 6. Mom and Dad insisted that they'd be alright, and I check on them pretty often, but...

( She frowns a little. She misses her family, to say the least. )

If there's a chance for us to live back at home, it'd be nice to live off campus again.

[It really goes to show how Ochako and Tsuyu are such good friends - they value their families above all else, and are so deeply connected to them. Ochako loves her mother and father, and became a Hero to help them live a an easier, more comfortable life...because she wanted to keep seeing them smile, and be happy. It's gone beyond just them, of course, but they'll always be the main reason for her wanting to become a Hero.]

Uwaah, how cute!! I bet they're both adorable, you'll have to show me pictures of them when we get back to UA! [Ah...this conversation. Ochako's smile dips a little as well, and she actually rolls over to be on her back again, staring at the stars.]

Mm...I think I understand what you mean. When I moved out of my parents' place and got my own little apartment room, I missed them so, so much. It was hard on my own, and we kept in touch by phone, or they'd visit me often, but...I'd really like, in the future, for us all to live together again, in a bigger house. Mama's always wanted a garden!! Maybe when I'm a Pro, I can do that for her, too.
