[ He can't help grinning at that; Hale is generally one of the last people Mishima wants to think about -- almost up there with Kamoshida now -- but the image of him realizing he'd fucked up and misplaced a student is still pretty satisfying.
That feeling fades some as he gets his updates on the other students though. "Wait list"... Well... That might really be the best option, right? They definitely didn't end up here, and they're not back at the real school now either. So even if she hasn't gotten to go home yet, Kunikida is... probably safe right now. (Though that "right now" part definitely worries him.)
Kurusu... as much as Mishima hates that he's still there, he also has more faith in Kurusu than he's ever had in anyone, and he fully believes in his ability to overcome anything. (Please don't let that faith be misplaced.)
...He does feel a little twinge of annoyance that Nine and Twelve apparently aren't back there after they both helped sell him out at his trial, but ugh, that's a super shitty thing to think, and he hates himself a little more for thinking it.
He's quickly broken out of that line of thought, at least, by a familiar name he hadn't really expected to hear just now. ]
Megumi? [ It's not that uncommon of a name, even if it sounds a little dated to him now, but... ] Was it Megumi Satou?
