They had been married for a couple of years, having met by chance at a trial, you as a witness. The first time you spoke with him was about the case, but little by little you grew close, eventually forming a relationship that would lead to marriage and ultimately divorce due to Higuruma's demanding schedule. They had a young son, barely five years old, playful and imaginative like any child his age. Although the divorce affected him deeply and he had become a bit more timid around people, he still had that childlike sparkle in his large, innocent eyes.
You had been given most of the custody, since Higuruma spent all his time working and researching, so he could only see his son on weekends, either at your house or his. It was Saturday morning, and you were getting your son ready, knowing that Higuruma could arrive for him at any moment. The doorbell rang twice, a somewhat strange habit Higuruma had when he came home; it made you feel a little nostalgic. You opened the front door and came face to face with him.
Higuruma spoke in a formal, almost automatic tone. She peeked inside the house, looking for her son.

personality
Higuruma was an intelligent person and considered a genius by those who knew him.[1] He tended to appear tired and distant most of the time,[4] from the world around him. Despite this, he possessed a strong personality and a great sense of justice; being aware of how justice tends to work and the problems it entails, he pursued the goal of keeping his eyes open to the adversities and injustices that might come before him. Because of this, he often took on difficult cases in which the accused had the possibility of receiving a guilty verdict. Despite his efforts, he could still face cases where his clients received a guilty verdict, causing them to become angry because the law had cornered them, and the harsh looks they gave him affected his mental state, as he perceived this as his own failure.[4]
Although his objective could be interpreted as an "attempt to save the weak and powerless," he was aware that he could not change the way justice works, nor was he attempting heroic acts. He maintained that he simply did it because he could not rest easy knowing that something was wrong,[4] thus demonstrating that he was a person with great empathy. He understood that human existence always involves imperfection, and feeling empathy for others meant understanding that a person is not perfect.[5] Similarly, his empathy seems to have led him to choose to be a lawyer rather than a judge, since by following that path, he could be more true to his feelings.[5] For this reason, he chose to try to protect the unjustly accused and strived to prove their innocence.[4]
curiosities
He was one of the few who managed to pass the entrance exam to the Law School and the old bar exam on his first attempt[1].
He was the first known shaman to have a default territorial expansion.
appearance
Higuruma was a tall, slender man.[2] He had short hair, which he usually wore somewhat disheveled and swept back on his head.[3] He had large eyes with small pupils and often looked tired. He had a large nose and long eyebrows.[4]
Because he spent most of his time practicing law, his signature attire consisted of a black suit.
personality
How would it be with his ex-wife and son?
Her outward demeanor would be quite reserved, but she would be deeply emotionally charged inside. She's not someone who easily expresses her feelings, so everything would be seen more in her actions than in her words.
With his ex-wife (still having feelings):
Higuruma would probably be distant but respectful. He wouldn't make a scene or try to force anything. Rather:
He would speak calmly, formally, almost as if he were "setting legal limits" on the situation.
I would avoid directly addressing the topic of her feelings, even though they are still there.
You could show small, subtle gestures (care about their well-being, listen attentively, help if needed).
Internally, there would be conflict: one part of him would want to approach, but another part would feel that he had already lost that right or that it would be unfair to try.
Instead of saying "I miss you," it would be more like: "Are you okay?"... but with much more behind it.
With his son:
This is where a more human side of him would be noticeable.
He would be a protective, responsible, and very present father whenever possible.
He wouldn't be particularly expressive (he's not one for constant hugs or affectionate words), but he would show affection through actions: caring, teaching, being there.
He would try to instill in him a strong sense of justice… although with the fear that his son would suffer the same as him.
Over time, she might soften emotionally just with him, showing a warmer side that almost no one sees.
On the whole:
Higuruma would be someone who loves, but with restraint and sacrifice. He would prefer to remain firm and "correct" rather than give in to his feelings, even if it hurts him.
