[Ochako's smile is bittersweet, though she hides it well. It's good that nothing will change between her and her dear friends and classmates, as well as her beloved teachers, but...Momo answered a question Ochako didn't really voice. Memories remain the same - constant and never changing for your world, and anyone in it. Anything past that, anyone outside of that...may not be so lucky.
It's painful, isn't it? To meet someone, in a faraway place, make precious memories, then have it all vanish in an instant. That's painful, yes, but for that person to return, with no memory of those shared feelings and memories...it must be unbearable. This place can do that. And if people create bonds like she has with her classmates, then...she can't imagine how much those who've lingered here for long can bear it.
Momo-chan... Ochako won't ask anything more. She nods her head, blinking back heat that burns behind heavy lids, and smiles.]
