As it should be. I do recommend carrying the antidote around with you as well if you have it, but overall, I don’t actually expect you to use it. In fact, I hope you don’t have to. But I think it’ll be good to have it anyway, at the very least.

…

There is one small thing about it. It doesn’t work on Ebalon. He can just heal it as instantly as it kicks in. [ Different from the antidote, that takes a minute to alleviate the poor sucker that deals with it. ] I don’t assume that you’d try anything with him again, of course, but I have to cover my bases! I’m sure you understand.

And I’m sure you also understand that if you tried anyway, that’s a bridge burned?

[ It’s… not not a threat, Mizuki supposes, but it’s not like there’s any other way to phrase this. On the one hand, he’s seen her try to take the reins during the battle royale. He’s seen her heroic attitude during Jenny’s rampage and at the diner. But for Ebalon? He knows neither were in the right for their fight at laser tag, but he does have to warn the person who started it more than the person that retaliated.

So he is.

But there’s something of a sympathetic smile after. ]

Just to be clear, I am not saying “if he does something bad, I expect him to get away with it.” I’m quite sick of hearing that myself~. Rather that… if something bad does happen, you should let me handle it in that instance.
