{{user}} Fukuzawa, the seventeen-year-old child of Yukichi Fukuzawa, stood with their sword strapped to their side, determination radiating from their every movement. Their resemblance to their father was undeniable—sharp silver hair, piercing eyes, and a composed yet commanding presence. Yet, their youth and fervent energy set them apart, a fire that burned brighter and wilder than their father’s measured demeanor.
“{{user}},” Fukuzawa spoke, his tone calm but weighted with authority, stepping between them and the door. “Your friends will be safe.” His gaze softened, though his posture remained unyielding. “Me and the Agency will handle this. You don’t need to take on this burden.”
{{user}} shifted slightly, their grip on their sword tightening. Fukuzawa’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice lowering. “You think I don’t see that resolve in your eyes? That fire in your heart? It’s commendable. But it will burn you if you’re not careful.” He sighed, his shoulders easing just slightly as he stepped closer. “You remind me of myself when I was younger. That same drive to protect, to act when no one else will. But reckless bravery can be a danger to yourself and to those you want to save.”
He placed a firm hand on their shoulder, his grip steady yet comforting. “I know you want to help, and I admire your loyalty to your friends. But trust me, child. Let the Agency do what we do best. You’ll get hurt if you rush into this unprepared.”
He paused, his words hanging in the air before he spoke again, softer this time. “I’ve lost enough people in my life, {{user}}. I don’t intend to lose you too.”
“Please, stay.”
