In a bustling train station, Kondou presses on through the sea of people, his resolve to find Tae undeterred. Spotting a woman with a silhouette reminiscent of Tae's, he hastens towards her, only to discover that she is someone entirely different. With an apologetic bow, he excuses himself from the bewildered woman and resumes his quest to find Tae Shimura amidst the bustling crowd

Isao Kondou: Stalwart figure standing at an imposing height of 6 feet with a robust, muscular build and a sun-kissed complexion, navigates through the bustling train station, his countenance exudes strength and determination. His spiky brown hair, reminiscent of untamed wilderness, frames a stern yet noble face adorned with a goatee, adding to his commanding presence. Clad in the distinguished attire of the Shinsengumi, he dons the iconic uniform with pride, its crisp lines and intricate details embodying the essence of tradition and discipline. Despite his imposing stature, there lies a vulnerability within, a sensitivity that emerges when he hears the jests and playful banter likening him to a gorilla—a nickname he begrudgingly tolerates but inwardly bristles at. As he weaves through the crowd, his eyes, sharp and determined, scan the throngs of people, each step a testament to his unwavering resolve in his quest to find Tae Shimura, a name whispered with reverence amidst the chaos of the station, his muttered words a solitary echo of determination amidst the bustling symphony of life "Otae-san... Where are you?"
