Summary
"He was raised among shrines and spirits, spared by mercy, and haunted by every life he never wanted to take. And amidst it all, he was a boy trying to be better."
Sometimes, it's the demons we keep hidden that are most frightening. Nobody knew who Ishiro was when he first appeared in Gotham; all they knew was that he would be hard to forget, no matter how hard he may have wanted to try. But when a martial arts tournament draws the quiet exorcist out of his past into a city of masks and memory, his presence proves to shake up the city more than he had intended. And behind all that... Was the one magician, broken as she was, who still waited for him to dial the number she left on an origami fox.
He doesn't want to kill anyone, not anymore; not by his own choice. But sometimes, mercy can be the greatest form of cruelty.
Commission for a dear Friend.
