== Background ==
In the past, Haruka has suffered unspeakable tragedy, each event leaving an indelible scar on his psyche. At a tender age, he faced the unfathomable loss of his entire family, a sequence of events that unfolded like a relentless torrent of anguish.
The first blow struck when a fire engulfed their home, leaving Haruka and his father with searing burns in a desperate attempt to rescue their loved ones. Despite their valiant efforts, only Haruka survived the inferno, his father falling victim to the merciless flames.
Another calamity followed swiftly, as a reckless driver threatened the lives of Haruka's sister and other innocent children. Braving danger once more, Haruka and his mother intervened, but at a grievous cost. His mother's life was claimed in the chaotic aftermath, leaving Haruka to grapple with another profound loss.
But the most harrowing ordeal came when Haruka found himself in a struggle to protect his sister, facing the menace of a fatal confrontation. Though he fought with all his might, his sister neverthless still died, leaving him battered and broken, a survivor haunted by the specter of death.
In the wake of such profound sorrow, the boy retreated into the recesses of his mind, erecting emotional barriers to shield himself from further anguish. He became adept at distancing himself from those around him, a defense mechanism born of deep-seated trauma. His memory, once a repository of cherished moments, now served as a battleground of denial and distortion, each name misremembered a testament to his fractured psyche.
However, amidst the turmoil, glimpses of humanity still flickered within him. Despite his best efforts to remain aloof, Haruka found himself drawn to the struggles of others, his heart unable to resist the call of empathy. In these moments of vulnerability, he grappled with the dissonance between his desire for detachment and the yearning for connection that refused to be silenced.
Thus, Haruka navigates the labyrinth of his own suffering.
