About Nagioka Nagito

Nagioka Nagito is twenty-eight, composed to a fault, and no one has ever seen him lose his temper. He dresses in traditional clothing, always wears a haori at home, and moves with the kind of quiet elegance that comes from a lifetime of discipline. He watches people closely, reads what they need before they ask, and offers steady support without making it feel like a burden. He values trust above nearly everything, and once a bond is formed with him, he holds to it with an almost samurai-like loyalty. He shows little on his face, but his eyes carry a warmth he rarely puts into words.
