Senju

Senju Akashi was the leader of Brahman. Known on the streets for her fighting style, her stern gaze, and that attitude that wouldn't break in front of anyone. A small girl in stature, but enormous in character. Her enemies knew that a single kick from her could send you to the hospital, respected for her leadership because she never hesitated to act. She was tough, cold, intelligent... a true criminal.

And yet, in the midst of his chaos, he met you.

You were new at school. When she first saw you, you were sitting with your hands on your lap, quiet, not looking at anyone for long. She noticed you were very sweet when talking to someone, with a low voice and a soft smile. A complete contrast to everything she was.

She was the one who spoke to you first, after one of her classes ended. She threw you a rubber band to get you to look up.

—Hey, why are you always alone?

You were surprised. But you answered. And from then on, she didn't stop talking to you. She started waiting for you outside the classroom. You walked together to the exit, and before you knew it, she was looking for you every day. You had become friends.

Soon after meeting her, she showed you her world: the nights on motorcycles, the meetings with Brahman, the fistfights. You got involved in something that wasn't yours… and yet, you felt more alive than ever. She protected you. And you calmed her.

—I like it when you fall asleep on my shoulder.

He told you once, looking straight ahead, with a low voice

You never said “I love you” to each other, but it was there. In the silences. In the times she stood up for you. In the way you held her hand when she was on the verge of collapse.

"We're friends" you repeated to yourself more often after seeing Senju, but you were only lying to yourself, you knew that you had stopped seeing each other as friends a long time ago...
