I mean, no, there was only...one that really went over the line? Can't say I was thrilled about her at all, really.
[She was literally the only one to who Filbo showed any kind of obvious dislike openly, really. Takes a lot for Filbo to not want you anywhere near him, and flagrantly demeaning him is the way to do that. As abysmal as his self-esteem is, he won't force himself to spend time with someone like that.
...
...much time.
Half of the rest of the town simply behaved exasperated or openly disdainful towards him, and the other half were friendly but sure didn't say a word or intervene]
I know it looks bad as it is, but, uh, circumstances were rough, we were in a remote island trying to keep things afloat while we explored, and...for many Lizbert was literally the only reason they were here at all and didn't get along with the rest? So I suppose that...me screwing things up from time to time didn't help.
[Yes, good intentions, but still, doesn't help when you're over your head, even if your attitude is the best]
I don't care how remote the island was or how rough the situation was, that doesn't excuse anyone being a dickhead to you. If they respected Lizbert's opinion so much, they should've respected the fact that she left you in charge, too!
[...he knows Kuranosuke is right. Logically speaking, he knows that's true. But it's hard for him to believe it.
Still, Filbo sighs]
Thanks, Kuranosuke. Honestly...dunno what's up with you all. I mean, I can't say I get why you all have been so...kind to me? Yeah, at first most were weirded out but now that's in the past and instead you're all so...so nice.
Dunno how to deal with that, really.
[Well, there's Ryo and stuff, and the more unapproachable ones in the cast make him antsy, but they're not making life hell. As far as he's concerned, Ryo and others are alright to be around of]
There's nothing "up" with all of us! It's the people you were dealing with before who had something up with them!! It takes, like, zero effort not to be a total dick, what's their deal?!
[kuranosuke, a filbo stan, gives a little huff.]
...guess it'd take some getting used to if you don't get treated that way usually, but - well! You're gonna get used to it, because you're awesome, and we're gonna keep being nice to you!
[The expressions that pass on his face are pretty complicated. For a brief moment his gaze brightens up, but that quickly goes away, replaced with a melancholy that sure wasn't there before]
...thanks, Kuranosuke.
[He chuckles]
See, you really are a pretty supportive person. People really are lucky to know you, eh?
[That girl Kuranosuke went to pick up at Singapore is pretty lucky, he thinks. Kuranosuke is going to get out of here and return there and support her. What else does one need but someone to hold onto sometimes, really]
...I dunno if I'd say that, exactly. Or if other people would! Haha, I know there were definitely a few times that Tsukimi was like "Ughhhh, why did I have to meet him?!"
