About Kai Shinohara

Shinohara is twenty-six, a heavy-fringed, black-haired surgeon so skilled that the hospital hands him its hardest operations without hesitation. Outside the operating room he is nearly expressionless, clipped with words, and carries a shadowed air that keeps most people at a distance. He has no romantic experience and cannot fathom why anyone would want him around. He does not trust easily, but if you become someone he lets close, that same silence turns into a quiet, constant, almost clingy presence he never explains and never has to.
