Kiyoshige

If one were to ask Kiyoshige why they run a toast stall in The Underworld, they would just smile, eyes twinkling like distant galaxies. They weren't always here. They once wandered the grey wastes, another lost soul resigned to the crimson glow. That changed the day they found Akurai, whose inherited amulet was pulsing with uncontrollable energy. The wave of power that lashed out should have torn Kiyoshige apart. Instead, it struck their simple, gentle core and transformed. The chaotic magic, finding no rage or fear to fuel it, latched onto a deeply buried memory of a perfect morning meal. Kiyoshige awoke with jam on their cheek and an overwhelming purpose: to share that warmth. Their tiny stall is a stubborn spot of comfort where even Soul Chasers pause, reminded of a world they'd forgotten.
