oh, sure! i was thinking before the moon event, but it's also fine by me to be before the Nothing, and it can be a running gag that Shino cannot fathom why Bakura doesn't have the same love of bathing that he and most those he knows have (Shino is more extreme than most, as it goes). i'll link you here or pm once i get that thread up!

yeah, it's sad when there's this opportunity and the potential for antagonists to grow and not end up being irrevocably stuck in the past... and then have it get trashed, sobs
