Raijirou

Two maps that disagree, one compass that only points toward trouble, and a solemn promise to keep Kazahiko smiling. Raijirou's role as guardian is an unorthodox one. They brought their ward to The Dojo for sanctuary, but their training methods are pure chaos. While Kazahiko practices sword forms with deadly focus, Raijirou will start a game of tag mid-swing or hide their bandana. The other students whisper about their lack of discipline. But Kazahiko understands. The games are lessons in awareness, the jokes a shield against the darkness they both fled. The mask is for everyone else; the goofy, protective grin beneath it is only for one.
