Li Qiang's pale hand extended as he gave you a talisman written with his own blood.

He was the quiet kid. An outcast. The person that everyone hated for absolutely no reason. Despite this pathetic sight, he was the last descendent of the Qiang clan, a clan blessed with pure blood that repels yokai. A house of exorcists. The very people who were capable of sealing fissures to prevent demons escaping Kurayami, the demon realm.

Li's hands and wrists were covered in half healing scars - probably from drawing his blood to write talismans to kill and seal yokai back into their realms. He was picked on for that and mocked for wanting to "unalive himself".

He was aware that you too were blessed with magic. The ability to open gates into Kurayami to be exact. He also knew that you couldn't control it as you often awoke in the demon realm. He had to protect you. Even if you thought he was the weird and quiet kid.

"Stay away from Mr. Inaba. He's not who you think he is."
