🌫️ how does this character feel about lying?

🥺‼️ awaaa! Ty ty ;w;’

Ishi’s whole identity is a straight up lie from the start. A badly told lie, in some cases, but a lie nevertheless. Somewhere in early ARR he finds out he doesn’t.. actually have to keep up this charade of being the son who died in Cartenau. But he’ll still lie, if he thinks it’s for the best. Especially, almost always, about his real origins. It’s simply strange, and he’d rather not try to explain something even he’s not sure of, lmfao. Lies sort of fall out of his arsenal for other things by Stormblood though; it only takes seeing Urianger’s convoluted plots 1 time for them to kinda, decide there’s precious few people he’d find any benefit in lying to.

And then Stormblood actually happens and he finds good reason to lie about certain things again because the warrior of light needs to Be Ok and Fight Two Wars but yk yk

[the short of his situation is he’s. An Isekai from modern day 2020 Japan, his soul dumped into the body of Ishi’li Jusumhi, who died/was dying in the battle of Cartenau. So he wakes up on the battlefield baffled as hell and gets to find out real time he has a family who is chalking up his oddities to ptsd and amnesia]
