It’s so fun to see Zoro so off-kilter in his interaction with Tashigi.
That “Kuina…” really came out from the soul. He looks like he’s seen a ghost.
And then when she offers to help him in return for being kind to her? and he gets defensive about his sense of direction? He fell right back into little brother habits, even though he knows it’s not Kuina. Because it can’t be her.
(And yet a small part of him yearns for her to be.)
