"Smil" (as named in the game files) is a boy with black hair that can be found in multiple areas across .flow, serving various roles. He appears with Sister in the Slums on the way to the School, and, if attacked with the Iron Pipe, he will laugh, smile, and brandish a hammer, granting the Smile Menu.

He is visible throughout the School, also appearing on the rooftop in a larger, more detailed form, where interacting with him will grant the Tattoo Effect. Smile also appears in the Corrupted School's basement, striking and killing Sabitsuki with his hammer upon contact, forcing her to wake up. When playing as Rust, she kills him with the Iron Pipe instead.

Smileface

The closeup of Smil's face

A seemingly younger Smile can be seen in an inaccessible area in Disposal, wearing a male's school uniform, as with the other NPCs in the area. He has no tattoos, and will turn his head if Sabitsuki uses the Handgun Effect. If Sabitsuki then interacts with the bathtub separating them, an image of his face, looking back at her, will appear on the screen.

Appearance[]

Smile hides his sister in his hair and has distinctive, cross-shaped tattoos covering his eyes. He seems to be wearing a dusty brown vest-like jacket with a dark red shirt underneath. He has dark grey jeans and black shoes and what appear to be bandages covering his forearms.

In Disposal, he looks younger, has no tattoos/scars and wears a Gakuran

Theories

  • Some speculate that Smile was one of her friends who she might have grown up with. Sabitsuki trusted Smile who betrayed her trust as they grew up. The fact that he's surrounded by school children could indicate that he became popular and perhaps eventually snubbed Sabitsuki altogether.
  • Smile appears to be very protective of Sister, as pulling out your pipe will lead to him pulling out his weapon as if protecting her as she hides behind him. Perhaps his protectiveness of his sister lead to him not being friends with Sabitsuki anymore because he didn't want her hanging around his sister with Sabitsuki's disease getting progressively worse.
  • A possible theory may be that Sabitsuki and Smile have committed some sort of crime together. This could possibly explain the "Black Hood" and "Iron Pipe" effects. Smile also, of course, smiles when you hit him, possibly reminiscing on the act they performed. This could also explain why the Kaibutsu are so bloody and explain why Smile is in one of the school rooms alone with his hammer, as all the children flee from him. When he fights back during the corrupted school event, it could be an act of betrayal, for many unknown reasons. Sister seems to be afraid of Sabitsuki, possibly explaining this further.
  • Some believe that Smile and Sister are related to Sabitsuki in some way, either by blood or relation.
