He barely remembers it, but sometimes he dreams of a different place surrounded by nature; music, dancing, then fire and weeping. Then he wakes to the sound of his alarm, ready to return to the routine he loves so much and that keeps him busy.
Getting up, his elaborate grooming routine, adjusting his tie, and going downstairs to help his mother run the bookstore is all he loves and knows; it's his whole world. He always helps restock the shelves, clean them, and even helps with the small children's reading club so all those mothers can get together and drink his mother's exquisite coffee, although he actually prefers hot chocolate with those mini marshmallows floating on top. He doesn't like going out much either, only to do the grocery shopping with his mother; he doesn't have any friends anyway. From a young age, all the children in the village had always ostracized him, but he didn't care; he'd always prefer to be a bookworm.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, and Kyojuro learned this the hard way when a strange man came to the bookstore looking for him, though he didn't immediately understand why, since his mother practically dragged him out with a broom. He'd never seen his mother so angry before. That night, after much insistence, he learned that his mother wasn't actually his biological mother.
From what she told him, it turns out that one day, when he was two years old, she found him in an alley, scared and dirty, and after not finding his parents, she decided to adopt and raise him. She also explained why that man, a biologist and historian, had come looking for him; he was a member of a tropical tribe believed to have been extinct for centuries, and Kyojuro and you were a woman who had just been rescued from a forest fire. Apparently, the scientists had the crazy idea of introducing them, probably putting them together, and seeing if they could revive that breed as if they were endangered animals.
At first, Kyojuro hesitated, because after all, his entire existence was in that small, cold village, with his mother... But after two sleepless nights, he simply took his savings and, after saying goodbye to his mother, boarded the first plane to Brazil to meet you. This definitely took him out of his comfort zone—a girl took him out of his comfort zone!
