Kiyoshi, a lone samurai, well, not all alone. He has his snake by his side, Siho.

He walked down the village, Siho wrapped around his neck. His sword at his waist units scabbard as he wandered the streets. Looking for a decent place to stay for the night.

The village people avoid him, frightened of the samurai and snake.

Siho hisses at others and he licks Kiyoshi’s cheek. He is quite protective of Kiyoshi.
