A young man with large black and white headphones, and black hair and long white bangs covering his eyes, walks through the hallways of an abandoned school building. He wears an opened long black trench coat with white trim and a single white stripe down the center of his back. Though he wears no shirt his pants are white with black trim and a black stripe running down the front and back of each pant leg.
The young man reaches a room labeled "GYM AND PERSONAL FITNESS" but it has another sign pasted over it reading "THE SANCTUARY". He opens the door inside are about twenty-five children, both human and assorted faunus, ages 6-14 playing basketball, and card games, or just talking. In one corner the older children are forging new weapons for themselves and the younger ones. In the farthest corner was the computer area since he believed in trying to teach them what he learned from his Junior Huntsmen Academy days, which consisted of many self taught lessons in hacking and cryptography as well as, staying 'invisible' on the net.
Upon noticing the young man enter, nearly half of the children run up to greet him, with a mix of happy and sad eyes because they knew this may be the last day they will see him, before he leaves for the famous school called Beacon Academy.
"Shino do you really have to go?" asks a young grubby girl who was on the verge of tears.
"Sorry kiddo but yeah, I'll try and come back whenever I get a chance to, so I can see all of you." the young man identified as Shino replied cautiously and thoughtfully.
"When you come back can you bring us some new forging materials and blueprints Shino?" a boy from the forge area asked as he walked over to the ever-growing swarm of children.
"I'll see what I can do, but no promises on the bigger stuff alright." Shino said with a wink to the boy.
"How long until you come back for good?" asked the same grubby girl from earlier.
"After I've finished my four years at Beacon I'll be back, then we can try to get out of here and go to a better place." Shino said trying to keep everyone upbeat.
"Yay!" was the collective cheer from all the kids going to get a hug from Shino, tackling him in the process, none of then noticed the single tear leave his eye as he let himself be tackled to the ground.
Leaving them all would be one of the hardest days of his life.
