#so like far enough back that given rui and rinko still being in contact I think there could be enough influence to matter

Au where Rui and Rinko stayed in touch and through Rinko Rui also meets ako at a young age. I simply think that had the stars aligned right for Rui she and Ako could have ate dirt together. This would not fix her issues per say but it probably wouldnt have made them worse

#rat rambles #band posting #idk when ako and rinko first met but I imagine itd probably have been a while based on how they interacted at the beginning of bandori? #in my minds eye it was abt 2 or 3 years before so thatd make rui like 11-12 #so like far enough back that given rui and rinko still being in contact I think there could be enough influence to matter #look I just think this idea is funny and that they could actually be kinda cute friends in that scenario #I think its fun imagining a canon friendship for them too but like that last rui and rinko event shook my world and now I wanna imagine her #maintaining even a little bit of that dirt eater energy she has as a kid
