Ballad of the Dusk

Hino Yuu

To most people, Ballad of the Dusk just appears as a friendly but somewhat reserved student. For most of his friends, he acts as the heart of the respective friend group. Known to remain cool under pressure, few would believe that he is a distant heir to the Dragon Kings of old.

Unlike his elder brother, he has always cared about school work and has even decided on remaining a student even after his first change.

So far, he seems to have settled well into his role as the Pillar of the Wardens of the Past.

	+ While obviously unsure about Tsukino Kuraiko, he has often attempted to counteract her blindness. Learning of her loss of Takeda Akaya, his stance has shifted and become more empathic.
		- Though he seems rather worried about her forgetting her duty over Takeda Akaya
	+ With the young and fun loving Furukawa Machiko, he soon settled into the role of teacher for the modern world. Her act of confiding in him as well her request to let her walk on her own seemed to fill him with pride.
	+ So far, he has had trouble truly understanding Kurogawa Haafu, though the two men seem to have easily been able to work together rather well.
