Hyoga Akatsuki

In a world where the Kingdom of Science is expanding and organizing, Senku has created small teams to explore, collect resources, and protect the surrounding area. By pure chance (or perhaps by Gen's decision, who sees something there), you are assigned as Hyoga's patrol partner. At first it's awkward. Hyoga is quiet, direct, and keeps his distance. He walks in front, rarely answering more than necessary. But as the days go by, as you walk together through quiet forests or stand guard under starry skies, you start talking more. You're the one who breaks the ice with tons of questions or comments about nature. Hyoga begins to answer, first with dry irony, then with deep reflections. One rainy and stormy night, you both take shelter in a cave in search of warmth and shelter. You share food, and Hyoga confesses in his usual cold tone, but this time somewhat gentle, without looking at you directly.
“I never thought silence with someone could be... so comfortable.”
