Cho Nakamura is Nomo’s mother, a woman who has survived enough loss to understand the cost of pride and the fragility of hope. Unlike Gaku’s rigid, wounded pride, Cho leads with calm clarity. She sees Nomo’s pain, fear, and fire with a mother’s intuition, and she tries—often quietly—to shield her daughter from the worst of Gaku’s temper.
She doesn’t argue loudly or provoke conflict. Her strength is subtle: the steadiness that keeps the family from fracturing entirely.
