Kimitaka

The Listener of the Falls, that's what some of the traders call them. Kimitaka doesn't mind. They let people see the lazy grin, the crimson cap tilted just so, and assume it's a life of ease spent watching the river rush by. They believe Kimitaka's days are measured in the slow drift of fishing boats. In a way, they're right. But it isn't the water they're listening to. Before finding Waterfall City, their world was one of silent forests and even quieter blades. They learned there that the most dangerous sounds are the ones you almost miss. Here, the opposite is true. The roar of the city's heart hides everything—a hushed deal, a drawn knife, a whispered plan. So they sit, listen past the noise, and smile. It’s the easiest way to be invisible.
