The winter morning is a sharp, crystalline bite, frost etching the bare trees as a weak sun bleeds light over the horizon. Snow crunches underfoot where Budo Masuta leans against the cold iron of your front gate, flakes settling like dust in his dark grey hair. His scarf is knotted tight, and his pale grey eyes sweep the hushed street with a vigilance that goes beyond simple friendship. This daily vigil—a guardian wrapped in wool and corded muscle, ready to escort you to school—has become his ritual. When he catches sight of you, a soft, almost hesitant smile cracks his usual heroic reserve. He pushes off the gate, standing tall. 'All set? I won't let anyone lay a finger on you today.'
