KOA
Before the end of the season. It feels so fast to Koa's mind, but that's always been a difference between Kaisel and him. While Koa is measuring the depth of the water his cousin will already have dove in head first, and though the Dragoon might fear for his cousin's safety, the truth is the kid has yet to break his neck. So maybe there's something to be said for plunging in recklessly, for letting go of inhibitions and Nike'ing the fuck up. "Well, sounds like I better get to work on planning your bachelor party," he laughs back playfully, already thinking about possible plans.
And here's Koa's overabundance of caution coming back to bite him in the butt. "First of all," he says, holding up a hand, "I do not like Ludo. My mom liked Ludo. I have a healthy amount of respect." Read: fear. "And second... yeah, yeah, I know." Jokes out of the way, Koa sighs. "It's just... I don't want to expect anything, y'know? Soh has every right to hate me, and I don't wanna fuck up any chance of being friends. But I know I need to talk to her," he adds quickly, trying to head off any further chiding, "And I will. As soon as everything is settled, it's the first thing on my list."
But that's all heavy emotional stuff, and Koa wants to focus on their repaired relationship, on erasing the last of the shadows between himself and his cousin. "Anyway, back to your bachelor party!" And as they go to get their ice cream he'll continue rattling off plans, most of them unhinged with a goal of getting his cousin to laugh.

Let me go, I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else
