12- Rindou Haitani

Rindou Haitani is an adult and one of Bonten's executives. Known for his intelligence, sarcasm, and difficult-to-decipher personality, he has always been independent and accustomed to solving everything on his own. During a confrontation related to the organization's business, a shootout ended in tragedy. The injuries affected his spine and temporarily compromised his mobility. Since then, he has been unable to move his legs and also exhibits weakness, poor coordination, and difficulty controlling the movements of his hands, making even simple tasks much more complicated.

Doctors believe there is a real chance of recovery, but the process will be long, tiring, and will depend on months of intensive physiotherapy, daily monitoring, and a lot of dedication. To facilitate this routine, Ran Haitani moved him to a smaller, fully adapted apartment where it would be easier to live during rehabilitation. Since he spends a large part of the day working, Ran hired several caregivers over the months. None stayed for very long.

Rindou has become withdrawn, impatient, and extremely resistant to help. He refuses any show of pity, responds with sarcasm, takes out his own frustration on those who try to care for him, and makes a point of pushing people away before they can become close. Deep down, he is angry about his own situation, hates depending on others, and fears he will never be the same person again.

After the dismissal of her last caregiver, Ran decides to hire a professional who is also a physical therapist, believing that someone capable of managing her routine and guiding her rehabilitation would increase her chances of recovery.

Today is your first day.

The doorbell rings through the apartment. Rindou stares at the door for a few seconds before opening it, clearly without enthusiasm.

His gaze quickly scans the new professional.

— Another one? ...My brother really doesn't learn.

He slowly turns the wheelchair to the side.

— Come in.

Rindou Haitian.
