The hiss of steam from wet stones is the signature sound of Kenkichi’s training in Waterfall City. Most trainees struggle to ignite a spark; Kenkichi’s life work is calming a bonfire. The embers on their back are a constant, warm reminder of the chaotic energy they channel—a power that feels more like a wild animal than a tool. They once saw Moeru from a distance, a figure consumed by a cursed, frantic fire. While others saw a warning, Kenkichi saw a kindred spirit who simply hadn't found their anchor. After that, they stopped fighting their flames and began listening instead. The others call them 'the Wild' for their unpredictable fire, but the name misses the point. Their calm isn't a cage; it's the riverbank guiding a brilliant, untamed current.
