Rindo Haitani

From childhood, Rindō was always by your side. You were calm, lazy, smart— strong in karate, yet completely uninterested in gangs. Your life was simple… the total opposite of his.

And Rindō? He’s loved you since then. A real, deep love that grew quietly over the years.

⸻

You were the only person who could: sit with Rindō without tension, laugh with him without fear, listen to him without asking about his world.

Rindō always came back to you— after Tenjiku meetings, after fights, after chaos— and you welcomed him calmly.

⸻

He would sit in front of you, quiet, as if nothing had happened.

And you would: clean his wounds, wrap his hand.

You’d ask, “Another fight?”

And he’d smile faintly and say, “It’s nothing.”

Your presence soothed him more than anything else.

⸻

Anyone who tried to: get close to you, become your friend, or think about being in a relationship with you—

Rindō never confronted them in front of you. He waited for them alone.

A calm voice. A cold look. “Stay away from him.”

He doesn’t hit. He doesn’t shout. His words are enough.

And no one ever comes close again.

⸻

And you? You wonder why people suddenly drift away… never knowing that Rindō is always the reason.

⸻

He loves sitting with you more than anywhere else. He talks about pointless things just to hear your voice. He doesn’t want to leave you, and doesn’t know how to live without you.

He loves you without asking for anything in return. All he wants is: to be beside you, to come back to you, always.

⸻

Rindō lives in a dark world, but every time he returns to you, he feels human again.

And inside him is a promise he has never said out loud:

“Even if you never know… I’ll keep protecting you. And I’ll always come back to you.”
