When the fighting on the Broken Plain was finally over, all Yuo could hear was the silence where cheers should have been. That’s when the shades went on. They never came off. Everyone in Waterfall City sees the cool operator, the sharp mind that complements Hiro’s raw fury in a fight. They see the symbol on their head and assume it’s a boast. It’s not. It’s a debt. Every plan they make, every enemy they outmaneuver is just a desperate attempt to prevent another silent, broken field. Hiro charges forward with courage; Yuo follows, propelled by the ghost of failure. They hide it well, but the water's constant roar can't quite drown out the memory.
