[Oh, yeah, no, Hijikata is spot on - the closest they have to "melee" is short range projectiles, and even then, Purple much prefers hanging out in the shadows and letting their various underlings fight for them.
But something about this has Purple picking up the edge of their cape, playing with its hem for a moment as they think.]
