[What boarding passes?]

No, I'm from the same place as Mr. Tomioka and Ms. Kocho.

I don't think our definitions of a cultivator are the same. Me and him, I mean.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh! If that is the case, do you also know Mitsuri?

[SHE MISSES MITSURI. she's glad she's safe and, like, not here. but also. she wants to gush about how great her friend is.]

[swordflash]

No . . . I didn't even know Mr. Tomioka or Ms. Kocho until we met on the bus. Is she a Pillar, too?

[How could there have been so many of them in one place? Shocking, truly.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[searches my inbox



it does not appear that mitsuri ever used the word pillar in a tag to flayn, but:]

I assume so, as she was well acquainted with the two of them.

[swordflash]

[Can he swap Giyu for her? More girls is always better.]

What was she like?

[fishingforcompliments]

She was incredibly kind! She always had a kind word to say if you needed to hear it, and would spend time with you if you did not wish to be alone. I do believe she could have gotten along with anyone on the island.

...and she was very, very strong.

[swordflash]

[Yes, he would definitely like to swap Giyu for Mitsuri.]

Strong how? Was her swordsmanship better than the others?

[fishingforcompliments]

She wrestled a bear!

[swordflash]

A bear! What was she doing, wrestling a bear? What were the others doing?

[fishingforcompliments]

Running from the bear, I assume? I never encountered it, myself. Mitsuri took care of it before I could.

[and then the bear mauled ogata but ehhhhh it's fine.]

[swordflash]

[That was what he got for talking about killing the bear.]

That's crazy.

[Just how strong is this woman? How buff must her arms be?]

[fishingforcompliments]

It was quite the impressive feat to hear about!

[swordflash]

Sounds like it.

A strong, kind girl—I bet she's cute, too. We could use someone like that here!

[fishingforcompliments]

We could...

[she sighs, and her smile is a little bittersweet]

I do miss her - but I am glad that she is most likely safe at home now.

[swordflash]

[Poor Flayn! He understands the feeling all too well.]

Me, too.

My friends aren't here, either, but it's probably better that they aren't.

[fishingforcompliments]

You are right... but it is still a little lonely without them.

[swordflash]

No way! A cute girl like you?

Then how about this? I'm no substitute for a friend, but, if you ever feel lonely, you can look for me. I'll spend as much time as you want with you! I'll even hold your hand!

[fishingforcompliments]

Eh? You will?

[don't just tELL A GIRL YOU'LL HOLD HER HAND, ZENITSU.]

[swordflash]

[Don't tell him what to do.]

Yeah! Just tell me what you want and I'll do it.

[fishingforcompliments]

...well! That is very kind of you.

But that is also a dangerous offer to make, Zenitsu. What if I was some sort of villain?

[swordflash]

Then . . . I'll do anything that doesn't involve hurting someone else. How's that?

[fishingforcompliments]

⁠—I would hope that if I were a villain you would avoid me, actually.

[ZEN? PLEASE?]

[swordflash]

There's no way you could be a villain! I mean, you're really nice and sweet. You even said that you'd protect me.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well, that is true... I have been told that I possess the kindness of a saint.

[...]

But a villain might act kind simply to gain your trust! Please be on your guard with others, if not with me.

[swordflash]

[He blinks, remembering a familiar advice.]

There was someone like that at the house.

[Not that much came of it. He takes on a somewhat sheepish tone.]

But . . . I want to see the best in people first if I can help it.
