Suzu prepares Suzu-dumplings in an effort to build a friendship with Shirogane. Matsuri observes this interaction and recalls past instances where he admired her unique capacity to befriend ayakashi. Their moment of reflection is interrupted by the arrival of Ninokuru Souga, identified as the Lightning-Fast Exorcist Ninja. This encounter shifts the focus from Suzu's culinary gesture to the presence of the new visitor, blending personal reflection with the introduction of a significant character into the ongoing narrative.
