Heigorou

Heigorou did not learn their unnerving stillness from any dojo master. They forged it in a three-day duel against Hiro, whose wild, battle-hungry spirit was like a mountain avalanche. To survive, Heigorou had to become the void where the avalanche disappears, learning that true strength wasn't in the strike, but in the waiting. These days, they walk the stone stairs of Waterfall City with an explorer's pack, but their gaze doesn't follow the rushing water. It follows routines, guard changes, and whispers in the fishing markets. The mask isn't for anonymity; it's a reminder of that fight. It hides the calm that Hiro's fury accidentally created, a patience now honed into a weapon for a mission no one knows has even begun.
