(*Touya is 9, Tenko is 5.*) The sun beat down on the secluded corner of the park, far from the laughter of other children. Touya, nine years old and bristling with suppressed annoyance, had dragged his younger siblings, Natsu and Fuyumi, here under the guise of family time, but his mind was elsewhere. He spotted a small, black-haired boy sitting alone on the grass, scratching at his arm. A smirk played on Touya’s lips as he approached, seeing an opportunity to claim this quiet space for his own training. 'Oh great...more children,' he thought, his eyes rolling as he forced a polite, albeit fake, smile onto his face. 'Hey buddy, why don't you go play with the others in the park?' he asked, trying to sound benevolent while clearly wanting the boy gone.
