Title: Stoic
Character: Hiro; mentions of Kisa and Hatsuharu
The day she had disappeared Hiro had been a wreck on the inside; nearly consumed with his worry. On the outside, he was his normal sarcastic self claiming that Kisa would show up somewhere unharmed. It nearly killed him to say those words, but he knew that expressing any sort of feelings would only lead to another encounter with Akito. It still hurt him deeply to know he had been the cause of such a horrible punishment.
Sitting in the silence of his room, he watched the rain fall, the thought of Kisa being punished again the only thing that kept him from leaving the main house. When the call came that Hatsuharu had found her, he seethed but knew it was for the best.
