[Mizuki is such a good boy. Sesa…knows that there’s a very real chance they could be making a mistake here, and this serpent could be offering them some kind of fair warning before they eat them. But that isn’t enough for Sesa to want to stop Mizuki, either. He has a kind heart…he wants to see the good in everyone. How could he go against that?

And, well. If the creature wanted to harm them…it would have already. He has to just keep telling himself that.

He leans over the edge of the “raft” to watch (sortof, he has to shield his eyes a bit with his arm) as Mizuki offers the sun once again.]

Mizuki is right. We have nothing to gain by giving you this offering, nothing beyond knowing that you having it may make your existence that much brighter. Even if it is just by a small bit.

[And maybe they are unkind. Maybe they won’t be grateful. But it’s what Mizuki wants.]
