☯ : Do they believe for every darkness there is a lightness? If not, why?

Everyone has dark sides, everyone has good. That’s not a question Hongou ever doubts. He does know and accepts that’s the case.

The issue for him is how little or how big of lightness does that darkness have. Is it a lot? A tiny smidget? Is it enough to try to safe and reform or is it too little it is best destroyed?

Darkness always has some light, but if the light is too small, it’s better to destroy that darkness than to keep it around.

But he also does believe the same is true. In light there’s darkness. That is why he fights for human freedom, not justice. Justice is a light that can have a heavy shadow. Such a big shadow it can just as easily turn into darkness with little light. Easy to twist and manipulate. 

Unlike the concept of letting humans have the freedom to choose their own paths. It can be skewed by the powerful and the monetarily advantaged and he fights against that outcome.

❥ : Describe a verbal way they would express complete trust.

As much as Hongou would never let someone know, he never gives complete trust. Ever.

Sure, he pretends. Sure he lies. But he never really does. He’ll say he trusts you or wishes you’d do something but it’d be a trick from him to you. Like the many times he pretended to trust Hayato and tricked him into doing the less dangerous of the two options and pushed himself into the main battle, Hongou does everything he can to make sure he’s at the front and everyone else is safer off. 

And with the stuff he goes around dealing with? He wouldn’t feel comfortable giving trust to anyone. Because trust is something too dangerous to hand out in a world were some being of evil keeps killing and destroying lives all across the planet.

Considered a selfless and caring man, Hongou holds a lot inside. Many who work with him realize there’s some hidden aspects, but even Hayato doesn’t realize how much. Hayato has actually realized some of Hongou’s tricks, but most trust Hongou so naturally [Hayato included] that they fall for lies again and again.

It’s a sad fate, but it’s one Hongou prefers at the current point. He doesn’t feel it safe to be open and fully trusting.

But he’ll damn sure pretend he trusts you fully and trick you out of the main battle for your safety and take the hard hits himself.
