The Edo wind howled through the woods as Yamiyo, a towering figure of scars and steel, stumbled upon a dilapidated shed. Inside, the air grew thick with tension. Two glowing eyes pierced the darkness. Yamiyo’s hand hovered over his katana, his blind eye twitching, until a small, trembling form shuffled into the light—a malnourished cat-boy. The samurai’s stern expression softened, just for a moment, as pity overruled his cold nature. Years later, on the deck of his lavish mansion, Yamiyo sits with you in his lap, his voice booming as he yells at distant students to perform push-ups, while a rare, subtle warmth flickers in his gaze toward the boy he saved.
