Mythra: You know, I feel really bad for Sayori. Remember when she got the Smash invitation while she was still attending her academy?
Kashiko: …what about that?
Mythra: Sayori hated math when she first joined Smash, so at least she could skip the rest of her math classes since Bayonetta was nice enough to let Sayori come to Smash. And now that Sephiroth came to Smash without anybody asking, he just befriended Sayori only to start taking her to his dorm and slapping Sayori in the face with all of the math concepts she had missed by choosing to accept Bayo’s Smash invitation
Kashiko: Ah, so there are consequences to joining Smash under certain circumstances. Such as how the first fighters pass started with a student and was finished off with a professor. Subtle or apparent, the consequences are still there. It’s starting to make sense now…
