Zenitsu… I really wish we’d gotten more cr, Jae, because they were pretty interesting, I think! There was the obvious dichotomy between teen and adult, but like. Zenitsu cut right to the core of some of her backstory quicker than most! It was pretty interesting to see him do that. Granted, he kind of cheated with memshares, but his sincerity threw her off, both before and after awakening.

Before, she like… didn’t want anyone worrying about her, most of all. Zenitsu did though, and he didn’t seem to be fooled by her smiles like so many are. Maybe it’s because of what he saw and felt that he knew, but the fact remains that he did, and he seemed worried about her. Touching, but very much not what she wanted, so she was… a little relieved to be able to focus on him instead. Though she’s sad for him, too? Part of her probably wondered if he was just a fool (if a very well-meaning one), or if the people around him are just cruel. She decided that it was probably both, I think… Even so, it was a relief to learn that he’d found somebody who didn’t just want to take advantage of him all the time.

After awakening, she kind of shifted into a “yeah that kid’s an idiot, but at least he’s easy to keep in line” kind of mentality, because of how Zenitsu immediately just did as she asked. It was convenient? But her opinion of him was pretty low until he came out of the break-in, and she wondered if there was more to him than that, but he never really proved that one way or another.

...Until he was the monster. Haha. She was a teensy bit disappointed it was him, because even though they weren’t close, even after she’d awakened, she knew he was a very sincere and kind person and deserved better than the fate given to him. Alas, it was the fate he was given, so she’d written him off - until Ash came out with a way to save him, and then Zenitsu held the monster back for him in the execution, and… okay. Yeah. There’s definitely more to this kid.

She didn’t resent him for trampling the flowers, or for killing Ayabe and Isaac even though Brilith thought she’d have every right to do so. The fact remains that he didn’t choose to become a monster, though, and he tried to make up for it with the sunflowers. She did not really care for him asking about her circumstances, why she couldn’t be happy or whatever, because that’s just… a sore subject. And a kind kid like him shouldn’t have to deal with someone else’s grief, you know? But she knew that Zenitsu genuinely wanted to help, if he could, so she gave him enough answers that he’d hopefully understand that she was beyond helping, so that he would refocus his efforts elsewhere, for someone who can be helped and deserves to be.

If Brilith knew that he could hear everything she felt in the endgame log, I think she would have run immediately. She can hardly handle that herself, and she hates being read by someone else against her well - even if they have the best of intentions. It makes her extremely uncomfortable and she's already super unstable... and there's no way to block his power out, so her only option would have been to flee. As it stands, though, she thought Zenitsu's concern was born out of their last conversation and memshares, not... that he could hear everything in that moment. So she accepted it as his usual concern, and no more, but she doesn't want him to think about her, after this. She just wants him to go home and find someone who deserves his attention - though she has little hope that will happen, either. As she said, some people just can't be helped.

I'm sorry I can't give you a smiling icon after this entry, I'm sad.
