When Kyojuro had gone with his father to visit the Ubuyashiki Mansion when he was little, he’d always see this elusive person that seemed to be his age walking or sitting around the mansion. They never had any parents with them, so Kyojuro’s young mind assumed they were one of the Master’s children. But, when he grew older and asked his father about them, he told him that they were an orphan child that had been living there since they were young. Ever since then, Kyojuro wanted to get to know them. They seemed far too lonely.
