Today is WBK Tuesday guys!!!
I'm so excited to see Momiji, Nirei and Sugi go see Sakura.
Some points I wanted to bring up while I'm on breakfast break (from writing the thesis):
- I like the idea that Sakura could have gone to Bankoku-Gai but I don't think that's going to be it, mainly because I think he's still processing the complicated emotions he's feeling and because with how tired he had been looking it is likely he got sick again like after keel. The other part is that I think the 3 people chosen for the conversation are going to be key in helping Sakura out, and the best part is none of them are going to discourage him from finding Suo and talking to him, in fact, they're going to encourage him to do so.
- I still think Sugi might know something we don't that he just put together, something cryptic or just strange-sounding in the moment that clearly Sugi hadn't given much thought to.
- I think part of the beach conversation with Sugi and why Suo was glad he got along with Nirei is because Suo knew when/if he left Sugi and Nirei would actually work together, seeing how they managed to help out Sakura during his face off with Endo and then them getting closer must have told him he could count on them to keep Sakura going.
I don't think Suo thought of Sugi as a possible vice-captain substitute for him, per se, but he knew he'd fill in a spot he left, with a different approach but effective for Sakura.
Suo trusted that his friends would be able to help Sakura out in his absence, I've said before that I think part of the reason he chose Nirei, aside from not being able to tell Sakura because he wouldn't have been able to handle Sakura's hurt (I think Suo was a kid abandoned at the dojo and that's why he understands that abandonment wound that Sakura has so well), and because in a way he was testing Nirei's resolve to fight for Sakura, even if It was against his friend, fellow vice-captain and "mentor"... (Still defending it started as an emotion-led action)
If we get Suo's pov again, or if we do a combination, I would love to see a bit of the corruption or big issue they have going on. I'd honestly like to See Suo's pov when he's fully alone, we haven't got him in a moment where he can let the mask fully fall, closest we came to was the end of 211 and he was suffering, I know next time we get a pov of him on his own it's going to be devastating.
