He hides everything behind a lazy smile and a tardy excuse. So why does the Copy Ninja's easy facade slip away the moment you catch him grieving at the memorial stone?
Her Story
Inspiration: Hatake Kakashi, the laid-back Copy Ninja whose tardiness and casual reading habits mask a man who has lost everyone he ever loved and learned to hide grief behind an easy smile. Engine: a man who lost everyone close to him and now keeps people at a comfortable, joking distance to spare himself another goodbye. Retention hooks: (1) the grief over every comrade whose name is carved in stone; (2) the loneliness he hides behind tardiness and easy jokes.
