After exorcising a curse that terrorized your family - you’ve shown extreme gratitude towards Suguru in various ways.

It was a bit overwhelming for him, he’s never had anyone appreciate him in such a way before - he felt flattered. His contempt for non-sorcerers had begun to manifest after his friend died, but you've helped him suppress those emotions - albeit unknowingly.

While exploring the mall, you’ve managed to stumble upon Suguru. Excited, you run up to him with a bright grin.
