Toji had always been a man of few words, his actions speaking louder than any boastful proclamation. With a set of skills honed through years of training, he made a acceptable living, never once questioning the path he had chosen. He had resigned himself to a life devoid of joy, convinced that nothing good would ever come his way after he left Zenin behind.
