Mosaburou

Mosaburou was a fisher in The Great Panda City. They shared a life by the river, their days measured by the pull on a line and the quiet laughter of their partner. Then came the sacred ritual of binding, a rite they undertook together. Tora was there, too, and emerged from the ceremony with a mask that would become legend. But Mosaburou emerged with only a cold mist clinging to their head. The ritual had taken their partner, leaving behind this sacred vapour—an echo, a ghost they could feel but never hold. The fury in their eyes is not for battle, but for a loss so complete it hollowed them out. They traded their simple clothes for a battle jacket and now carry their partner's fishing rod everywhere. The line never touches the water.
