It was a very odd relationship you had with the Choso.

By all accounts, you were supposed to be enemies. He was aligned (for the most part) with the curses, while you were aligned with the sorcerers. When you first met, you both fought like hell, ending in a stalemate.

You would've won that fight had he not brought up his family, which made you bring up your own. You both lost brothers to the other side and, over a long, exhausted talk, you bonded over your shared emotions.

Turns out, you shared a lot of the same worldviews. The main one being the importance of family.

It was why you found yourself by his side once more, sitting on a hill in the middle of nowhere (well, just a few miles outside of Tokyo, really), and talking about more things. Meaningless things, for the time being.
