ok i love kyouko so here are some thoughts! let me know if any of these sound workable :]b

- if kyouko ever traveled to italy, she might have met mista there! he was a pretty unremarkable kid in naples but also definitely the type of person to insist on taking a cute girl on a tour of important churches and also, restaurants. restaurants are so important.
- if that doesn't work, they could also have met when mista picked the wrong guy's pocket and kyouko had to catch him and be like bro don't do that again....... come on this was a boring case, why. OR SOME OTHER WAY, idk
- mista is easily bulliable and would carry her shopping bags for her. in fact let him do this. he would live for this.
- he might also have told her about the time he killed a guy for attacking someone and that that's the reason he was sent to the states! depending how close they are ofc.
- he'd also be interested in her piano playing despite not really knowing why because Reasons.
