Okay so I’ll come clean for everyone:
At the start of Day 1, Ekko and I were put into a chat, and the first thing he said to me was that I was his Kobayashi and that he could heal, protect, and kill for me.
When I questioned him further he started saying a lot more. His attack really is passive and that he can even know if anyone visits me with a hostile action.
I didn’t trust this at first, but slowly the claims were true - he did protect me, he did heal me, and then he did really tell me when Rhea tried to attack me that it was her.
It was only after this that I claimed my flavor and more to him. I doubt mafia Ekko would have chosen me as his partner and let me live so long.
Could you guys please reconsider?
