Ten in Tokyo That Night

Hikora's best friend who plays the game to lend a hand in finding Sorincha – Wikipedia

---

He was always going to protect Hikora and Sorincha. But Sorincha slipped from his grasp like sand. So he would help Hikora find Sorincha…and protect Hikora still.

Those were grand ideals, in the end, and though the heart of Tokyo struck its symphony of fear in him like it did with all those other children, he went on. He followed Hikora, always followed Hikora, so he could protect him. So they could find Sorincha together.

And when the demons came after them, he fought. He fought hard to protect their lives, their hope. And he was the last to fall.
