Ryuu immediately tenses up when he sees a child wandering around alone. Where are her parents? Does she have any at all?
When he notices the scars on her body, he decides that it’s probably for the best not to ask. There was a time where he wore that same hopeless expression, and he had seen it on his little brother too.
Even looking down at his hands... He has similar scars of his own.
No, it’s best that he doesn’t get too caught up in all that. The last thing he wants to do is upset her.
“Hey...”
He kneels down in front of her with a gentle smile. Even then, he’s a couple feet away from her. He doesn’t want to get too close if she’s not uncomfortable.
“You’re out here alone, aren’t you? My name’s Ryuu...” It’s okay, you can say it. “... Akiyama. If you need help, I can get you something to eat. Does that sound good?”
