He was always polite and friendly, but... His indelicacy always rubbed you the wrong way. He wanted to know too much about things that hurt you to understand so little about. It was a relief when he gave up on you and moved on to the next conversational partner. They say he took his leave of Hisui forever. You hope he found whatever he wanted somewhere else.
You weren't sure how it would go, working so closely in concert with the Galaxy Team, but Zisu has been nothing but kind to you. You were happy to share her workplace and her part-time hospitality. The confident strength she possesses, and the passion she has for training people and Pokemon to be better and more well-rounded... Not only was it impressive, but it felt nostalgic. That energy helped to revitalize you, after you had been lulled into a routine. She helped you remember what kind of person you want to be, day by day.
Ori smiles to herself. These must be people that Ingo knew from whence he came... He seems to know many remarkable people, but that's just as well, given that he himself is a remarkable person.

Oh! This woman... I think I've seen her around before...?
It's impossible to tell how you stand with the Captain. She's far too intimidating, and you too socially awkward, to really be able to establish a mutual understanding. But she's taken charge of situations often enough, and successfully enough, for you to be able to trust her judgment. And she didn't abandon you when you were at risk. You owe her deeply for that. To think that she of all people followed you to the prison... At least you know you don't have to worry about her much.
[ Oh, she feels this one deeply. She's so easily intimidated by others, even when people are intimidated of her... But the most meaningful bonds she's made, both here and at home, were often with people who scared the shit out of here to start.
Whenever Arthur is finished with collecting his vibes, she glances around just to make sure Whimsicott and Tynamo haven't caused any kind of ruckus, and realizes Miss Clover is not on her shoulder... ]
Oh! When did you get up there, Miss Clover? Are you enjoying the view?
[ ... Because Miss Clover is perched prettily on one of Ori's horns! ]

[ She can't help but be reminded of many of the bright-eyed young adventurers that join their guild. ]
And now...
[ To the photo of the smiling merchant! ]

[ Too bad though, the gentleman in the photo looked kind of handsome?
Anyway...
On to the photo with Ingo himself! And the strong lady! ]

I see Clover is enjoying herself. Do you suppose we're in for another quiz once the train arrives?

That would be my guess! I hope you were paying attention too, Miss Clover!
