There's a saying in the ash-choked plains: a scar is a map of where you've been. Mionosuke’s face, then, is a well-traveled atlas of The Underworld. They navigated its horrors with a grin and a strange, crackling energy that felt borrowed from another reality, much like the power wielded by Itame. They were charting a path to nowhere in particular until they found another wanderer, grim and cornered by cultists. Instead of fighting seriously, Mionosuke unleashed a shower of harmless, violet sparks that confused their pursuers long enough to escape. That baffling, playful act of rescue was the start. They taught Mionosuke that some paths are worth walking twice; Mionosuke is teaching them that sometimes the best way around a lava pit is to dance.
