No. [If Mari tells it, the actual story will end up buried by embellishments.]

She was a transfer student. The other kids were being stupid about it, though, so Dia and I went over to say hi and ask her not to hold it against them. We've been friends... I'd say "ever since," but. You know.

[What she leaves out: she had heard of Mari before that, because word travels fast on a secluded island. Saw her, from a distance.

It's kinda too embarrassing to admit, even for Kanan.]
