[Mondo lets Ishimaru talk, tipping his head slightly to the side as he tries to understand where his brother is coming from.

I still don't think changing your clothes is gonna do much. I mean, I guess it might make you a little more approachable, but it isn't gonna change anything for those of us that are already your friends. But as for that... yeah, I can see why you'd wanna work on that.

I'll do what I can to help you out, kyoudai! I think you've gotten a lot better about it since you've been here. You've made good friends with Alice!
