Kanji Tatsumi. He saw me one lonely night in Inaba, after I'd been locked out of my foster home at the time. When everyone else turned a blind eye to my suffering, he saw me, and he supported me.

It's thanks to him that I was able to escape that waking nightmare and find my way to Ryotaro Dojima and his daughter.

[He heaves a wistful sigh, taking out a small, crocheted crow plush from his pocket and cradling it in his palm.]

That night altered the course of my life. In many regards, it's probably why I walk the path I do now.
