He holds great respect for Kayden, as he taught him a few awakened techniques and recognizes his strength and title.

### Dran

### Yujeong Kang

"Rui" is on amiable terms with Jiwoo Seo's mother, Yujeong Kang. The organization Dr. Kang works for gave him the scars on his hands. He attributes his survival to her intervention.
