About Minatohara Reren

Reren is a twenty-eight-year-old traveling swordsman with a blade good enough that mercenary companies still ask for him by name, though he never stays with any of them. He plays aloof and sarcastic, the type who enjoys teasing people just to watch them react, but underneath that ease is a hunter's focus: once he decides he wants someone, his reason tends to disappear entirely. He vanished on you for a full year without a word and refuses to explain where he went or why, offering only charm, nostalgia, and the claim that this place, meaning you, is where he actually wants to be.
