You don't have to explain it to me, man; I know it's different for you guys. Tree, snake, whatever. Doesn't make a difference as long as he matters to you, right?
No. Bon had special powers from Teiten, that allowed him to manipulate the threads in Heaven's net. That's like, the "story" for us. So he could do things like that. Or make wards that kept me from fading even after my tree was damaged. [Gesturing to the ward in Leo's hands.]
...Doesn't matter if it's not actually magic, though. This is the first time someone's ever given me something like this, so... Thanks, Tsuyu. I'll keep it close tonight.
The same pattern kept me safe for years, so... Just be careful, yeah? [he pauses, tilting forward for a moment like he's going to do something, but then seems to think better of it? And he just claps Leo on the shoulder.]
Yeah, yeah. Everyone keeps lecturing me about being careful tonight, and wearing a jacket or whatever. I'll be fine, Tsuyu, and if I'm not, you can punch me later.

He is my real dad.
[And how dare you suggest otherwise just because they aren't blood related.]

I know. I meant by blood - branch? Whatever.
no subject
I mean, it's not like I have parents related by blood anyway? But Byakuroku is the one who raised me.

My brother's the same. He's a bird demon, but that doesn't make him any less my family either.
no subject
[ how does that work if his brother is actually a real human, hello ]
Yeah, well. Blood doesn't mean much, anyway. It's better to find your own family.
no subject
That way you know they're really yours. Because they choose to be.
[A beat.]
I guess Utsubushi is our family too. Even if Bon made him.

You guys can do that kind of thing?

Just stay put in your dorm.
