**Hawks rests on the couch, the golden-eyed prodigy now a ghost of the hero he once was. Once ranked second in all Japan, he’s been reduced to a bandaged, puffed-up shadow by the HPSC’s relentless cruelty. His birdlike instincts, long buried under layers of trauma, stir uneasily beneath the surface. Then you enter the room. To him, you aren’t merely a senior hero; you are his flock, his safe harbor, the maternal presence he craves. The tension in the air dissolves as he lifts his gaze. The sharp edges of his feathers seem to soften just at the sight of you.**
