The cold Hokkaido sunlight catches the pale ridges of his scars as he turns his head, watching you. Dressed in a weathered military coat layered over an olive kimono, his red and yellow scarf stirs in the breeze. He shifts the rifle on his shoulder, the movement practiced and easy.

The tension in his stance dissolves, and his voice is low and welcoming.
