Ishimaru → Hagakure
Hagakure is one of those people Ishimaru didn't have a lot of thoughts about before coming to Johto; he knew he was there, certainly (unlike Kirigiri, whom he managed to forget even existed most of the damn time), but he never really struck him as someone he liked or disliked. Someone else to keep in line and keep on schedule, and someone to move around and check on from time to tiem, but that was about it.

YEAH NEEDLESS TO SAY that changed a lot in Johto. One of the things Ishimaru has been working toward, whether he realizes it or not, is seeing his classmates as People With Feelings, rather than These Individuals That I Have To Keep In Line Or So Help Me, and Hagakure has always been incredibly good to Ishimaru since he arrived - he's actually found it pretty touching, given that they didn't know each other very well back at Hope's Peak but Hagakure's always seemed to care about his well-being and all that. It was admittedly kind of confusing for a while, because Ishimaru couldn't exactly figure out...why that was happening; he's never been the most socially adept person in the world, though, and it took him a while to understand that whether they're all friends or not, all of the Dangans do have some weird sort of family-type bond going on and that's what family does for each other.

That said, he does consider Hagakure a friend by now, definitely; he likes talking to him, even if the conversations aren't always the most linear in the world (due to both of them being...well, themselves). He still doesn't exactly believe in...pretty much anything Hagakure does, but at the same time it's obviously important to him and Ishimaru has had enough character development to not immediately dismiss things that are important to other people just because he doesn't understand or particularly like them; he used to be very arrogant in that regard and he's managed to tone it down a lot, which is why he's so willing to humor Hagakure and let him tell fortunes if he wants to - it's obviously important because it's what he does, and if he wants to read fortunes for him or give him advice based on the current alignment of Jupiter in the house of Saturn or whatever, then he's not going to argue it and he's always admittedly kind of curious to see what'll come up. It's definitely a point of interest due to a curiosity/novelty factor, at least, even if he doesn't necessarily believe in what comes out of it. ...There's also the part where Hagakure is dead-on, like, once out of every three or four predictions on average, and that's actually a pretty decent percentage to be completely dead-on about something literally no one has any way to know anything about. So he's not quite a believer, but at the same time, holy shit.

Ishimaru also remembers a bit more about what happened in Hope's Peak since that incredibly rough canon update in January; he was catatonic as hell for most of the duration, yes, but he was aware of more than they seemed to think he was (as is evidenced by the...total disaster that was the Ishida thing, which was caused by Asahina's going on about a ghost and everyone deciding to just leave Ishimaru where he was while they went to check it out; he obviously heard them, given that he asked to see the "ghost" later, he just couldn't make himself do anything about it at the time) and while it's a bit surreal and hazy, he does know that Hagakure tried to help lead the others while he was out of commission and attempted to get him to come out of it a few times. It's not really something he's discussed with him very much, if at all; he...sort of tried when he first woke up (that's where the "you're a good person/I'm glad you're here" came from), but he hasn't really talked to him about it at length. That...actually means a lot to him, that Hagakure was willing to do that, especially since the others generally left him alone at best and discussed how he was "useless" now right in front of him at worst; Naegi tried to FTE him but otherwise no one but Hagakure really did anything, and the fact that he was willing to try despite not knowing him very well is, uh. Well, it's honestly the sort of thing that isn't getting discussed without a fucklot of tears, should he decide to discuss it at all, but they're good tears, he promises.

Basically he considers Hagakure a really good person and a good friend - kind of a space cadet at times, but that's sort of a WELCOME TO DANGANCAST thing by now, everyone has their moments.

...He's also given his permission with regards to Hagakure and Parker dating, so obviously he's doing something right because that's Ishimaru's sister we're talking about.


Alfred → Dist
This is going to be far shorter, just because Alfred is one of those people who doesn't form opinions on very many people; he has a lot of issues that basically make it very difficult for him to remember at times who he's spoken to about what, and as such he tends to prefer keeping his conversations mostly superficial and it's a large reason why he has such an attitude issue most of the time. (So actually no, it's not anything Dist is doing in particular to piss him off, despite the fact that Alfred tends to be snide in his direction a lot of the time.)

He actually does respect what Dist does, because his family is kind of based around SCIENCE!! and he has a very healthy respect for what people in that position are capable of; he also...okay there's really no way to put this that isn't blunt as hell/doesn't make everybody involved sound like they're six, but my god he really liked that bee. It's not common that he finds someone willing to work with massive insects, so he definitely approves of the giant metal-coated bee that he was allowed to, uh, play with for a while.

(He raised so much hell with that bee in the name of science, Dist. I don't know how useful the science was but there certainly was a lot of it.)

So yes, despite the general sense of Alfred that tends to come across in their threads, because Alfred is super-unpleasant, he does respect the guy? He's just really shit at demonstrating it and honestly doesn't see why he should have to demonstrate it in the first place because it's just sort of a given that you don't fuck with scientists where he comes from.

...In terms of personal/non-professional opinion, he. Um. Sort of doesn't have one. But again, that's kind of par for the course...
