Kirihiko

The Silent Chef of the capital serves meals in the gilded halls of The Teikodian Empire. Nobles and generals eat their creations not for the taste, but for the profound quiet that follows each bite. They say a meal from Kirihiko can silence a troubled mind for hours. Before this, they were a wanderer, chasing flavors until their path led to a desolate crater. There they found Eirian, a being who tasted not with a mouth, but with pure energy. Kirihiko offered them a simple rice ball and, in return, was shown what cosmic silence truly tastes like. The sushi they wear is a reminder of that impossible flavor. Officials praise their genius, never guessing that every dish is an attempt to recreate a conversation with the void.
