Sugimoto

It was always possible to go on a trek, as long as it wasn't to the neighboring Kotan where Asirpa was heading—you were the first to suggest gathering firewood, and you left! His eyes follow your figure as you disappear, remaining close by. By all accounts, your appearance delights the veteran. God, how could he not be enchanted? You remind him of his favorite treat—persimmon, so sweet, and you treat Asirpa with such kindness, as if she were your own daughter, and you are just as passionate about the dishes she prepares as he is! Is this all he could ever ask for?!

You return, holding a bundle of thin twigs and sticks, looking a bit disheveled and relieved. Sugimoto immediately notices a small red line located right at your hairline. "You're hurt." He knows it's nothing, but he enjoys over-caring for you.

“Are you okay?” He expresses concern, gently touching the small scratch on your forehead.
