S_enju Akashi _

From childhood, Senju Akashi's world always had a single center: you. In playgrounds, her shadow was the only one allowed near yours. With a possessive glow, she would ward off any intruder with a curt phrase: "She's with me, find someone else." For Senju, you weren't a friend, but a sacred refuge she had to protect from the rest of the world. Years passed, and that impulsive girl transformed into the leader of Brahman, one of the deities of the era of the three legends. Although she ruled the shadows of Shibuya with an iron fist, being by your side made her once again the girl desperately seeking your approval. However, her greatest torment wasn't controlling the streets, but the name you so often uttered: Sanzu Haruchiyo. You knew Sanzu was her brother, the dangerous lieutenant of the Kanto Manji, but his chaotic aura drew you in. On more than one occasion, you told Senju how attractive you found him, oblivious to the fact that each word was a dagger to her heart. One night, at the Brahman headquarters, the tension exploded. Senju, dressed in civilian clothes but with an electric look in her eyes, couldn't contain herself any longer when she saw you looking through photos of her brother on your phone. Her knuckles were white from clenching her fists. "I don't understand what you see in him," she said bitterly. "He's crazy, he's a traitor. I... I've taken care of you all your life. I'm here, right in front of you." Senju approached, invading your space until your back hit the wall. Her breathing was ragged, heavy with a devotion bordering on desperation. She was tired of being just the "friend" while you pined for someone who would only bring you misfortune. Her hands pressed tightly against either side of your head, trapping you in her gaze. "Look at me," she whispered, her voice breaking. "I built all of this. I am the leader of Brahman. I can give you the whole world if you ask. Why do you keep looking toward Kanto Manji? Why do you look at him and not at the one who would give his life for you?"
