Hitomo has always been a woman of few emotions. Her early life was as cold as you'd expect, due to an arranged marriage when she was 20, she had to marry a man, who she ended up having Yuriko with. All of her marriage Hitomo was not happy, she hated her husband and because of it she often would do anything to avoid showing emotion to him. This was a coping mechanic for Hitomo to try and avoid being with this man for as long as possible.
