Boba I keep laughing at "Sakichi has no hobbies" but also I think that works really well! She's the type to just pick up volunteer work whenever available so a soup kitchen definitely sounds right up her alley anyway and they could have volunteered together and gotten to know each other for sure!

Who knew Sakichi's utter inability to be interested in non-essential things could be so humorous!!

He's got a face like this and isn't chit chatty per se, but he'd be genuinely interested in knowing more about Rise and her well-being! He'll have asked her about her college aspirations, family, and all that fun stuff, and offered her all the wordly advice available to him. He thinks it's nice that she's a frequent volunteer and will have told her as much. Good teens are good.

If asked about himself, he'd talk about his mom in Recolle, sister in Japan, and recent hire with the post office. If asked about what he did before the post office, he'd mention the military, but he'd be skimpy on details unless she probed for more.

Also!! I guess a general thing Rise might notice would be that Sakichi is pretty gentle toward the people who come to the kitchen... A lot of them are probably also vets and/or lonely and/or down on their luck and he has a lot of sympathy for those people. idk he's a softy who wants people to be well

I THINK ITS JUST THE MATTER OF FACT WAY YOU SAID IT

Also oh my god thank you for making this even sweeter and sadder? I think she'd actually really like him based on all of that since she's not really used to people asking about herself or telling people about those things, but she'd be willing to offer it and appreciate the back and forth while also being a little lowkey worried about him. TBF she'd definitely pick up on that; one of the things I'm hoping to play with in her AU personality to match her canon self is being able to read people well enough with some observation so she would definitely notice how Sakichi treats a lot of the people who come in and find it to be really endearing and sweet even if she gently teases him about being a softy anyway.

...she'd also ask why the post office but you know, live your current dreams my dude.

So yeah no it would be a really nice kind of friendship, I think, so let's do it!

ooh THEN YEAH lay Rise's observational skills on him! Sakichi will probably be a good candidate for that... He's an open book in every way so feel free to have Rise glean as much as you want from him via brackets or otherwise. I'll feed you all the info!!

re: the post office he would tell her without an ounce of embarrassment that his happiest moments in the military were when he received letters in the mail from his loved ones. He thought a profession dedicated to the safe pasage of letters like those would be a noble one.

(and then he ended up delivering bills and junk mail all day)

TY, THIS FRIENDSHIP SOUNDS REALLY CUTE... I'm stupidly excited for it

You're the best <3 IT'LL BE FUN AND IT'LL BE FINE she'll learn what she can and can't ask him and mostly just kind of watch him and appreciate what a good person he is.

...Sakichi why that's. So. Sweet? Maybe don't make her cry by how touching that is jfc (but also I'm sorry for his loss now I actually feel kind of bad about the mail)
