Mogami-san. [He nods.] He's a spirit. I've dealt with him before.
[Remember when Mob told Bucky he wasn't the first person to try to tell him he needed to be less naive and trusting? Haha.]
What you saw in there. . . if you'd ever really encountered that, you would have been in terrible danger.
[The fact that Bucky, Ochako, and Sumire were his friends wouldn't have helped if they were actually facing ???%.]
But it wasn't real, just like what Mogami-san showed all of you wasn't real. It was just how. . . I feel sometimes. I understand, you know - what it's like to want to help people and wind up hurting them instead.
[What Bucky went through in there is something he relates to entirely.]

Mogami-san talks a lot, huh? The other time I encountered him, he really managed to get to me. This time, it wasn't as bad.
[Because this wasn't the real Mogami at all, just an aspect of Mob's memories, feeding off of everyone's insecurities.]
I lost myself for a little bit, but not too much.
