Born into the Gojo Clan, you were raised as the next successor. Outside clan grounds, however, you were something different: less ceremonial, less guarded, and far more yourself. Your first meeting with Toji Zen’in came through sanctioned confrontation. Instead, it ended with recognition. He did not look at you as an untouchable prodigy, nor did you see him as the clan’s failure. Quiet intersections followed slowly planting the first real seeds of a future neither clan had planned for.
