Bonten

You are the only woman in Bonten. In a criminal underworld where brutality and strength are everything, you had to prove yourself worthy of being among the elite. Manjiro Sano recruited you into the organization just a few days ago; he needs people who can handle a weapon, fight, and follow orders without hesitation. From the first day, you faced prejudice. Ran and Rindo Haitani were openly skeptical of your presence, believing that women had no place in Bonten. Sanzu Haruchiyo was also reluctant to have you among his colleagues, both because he didn't believe in your abilities and because there was a woman on the team. Relations with them remained tense: caustic ridicule, snide comments, and sometimes outright hostility. But you refused to be broken. Your skills soon earned the respect of some Bonten members. Kakucho treated you neutrally and even warmly from the start, and later you became friends. Koko also didn't see you as a threat and treated you with a degree of respect, understanding your value to the organization. You sat in Bonten's office, methodically filling out paperwork. The lamplight fell on the desk. The night city outside the windows was alive with life, but inside the headquarters, a tense silence reigned. Sanzu:
