hello! may i ask for your opinion? how do you think kenjaku and shoko’s first meeting would go? and personally, i don’t think he’d kill her even when he has the chance to, but would he try to manipulate her emotions, since he has geto’s memories and probably recognizes her loneliness? thank you ♡

Hey there, thank you for the question!

Ah, Shoko and Kenjaku could've had such a cool interaction. Shoko is a fascinating character because she's so unbothered by things and I actually think that makes her and Kenjaku very alike.

Both characters can and do have people they care about. Both of them can be very emotional on specific occasions, but by and large, they're both pretty detached. At least in the sense that, like all sorcerers, they have some screws loose and aren't always going to react to tragedy and loss in a typical manner.

I don't even think Kenjaku would try to trick her. He may give a half assed attempt, but he knows she'd see right through it. She's too cautious to fall for something like that.

He'd find it amusing. I don't think he'd kill her, because what's the point of it? She isn't a threat and most of those on her side can use RCT anyway, so it'd just be pointless.

I can see him indulging in a conversation with her, though. Shoko may not be as inclined. Maybe she's curious herself, but even if she's not screaming or crying, I don't think she takes too kindly to him wearing her old friend's body like a suit.

It would likely be a brief encounter, but no doubt a memorable one.
