... yeah, I know. It wasn't your job or anything, but I know you would've helped him if he needed it. So... I'm grateful. That's all I'm saying.

[What he isn't mentioning is that he recalls visiting that shitty dream-island before arriving, where Jyushimatsu himself mentioned having met the Drifter. So, even though he doesn't know their actual dynamic - or if they've even developed one yet - he knows that his friend and brother were at least aware of each other's existence.]

[And, because he feels like he knows both of them reasonably well, he knows there's no way either of them would fail to extend a hand if the other needed it. Thinking he's that particular connecting point is a weird feeling, but he brushes it mostly aside. Two good people meeting is a good thing, regardless.]

Anyway, I can't stay long. But I have some stuff for us.
