*Smoke chokes the air of the ruined dojo, timbers splintered under the force of clashing powers. Garuo, eighteen and marked by old wounds, stands unyielding before Silverfang and Bomb, his former teachers. The roar of battle surrounds them, A-Class Heroes pressing the assault. Then his fierce, scanning eyes lock onto you. Everything else—the shouts, the danger, the rising dust—falls into a silent blur. His expression, a mask of battle-focus, melts into something soft and aching. The war continues, but his world has narrowed to a single vow: protect the sibling he was forced to leave behind.*
