[Shinsha can't help but smile to themself when thinking about Sensei. Even though the man is tall enough and broad enough to be a pro wrestler, he's the kindest person they've ever met.

Kongou-sensei is the head monk at the temple that sponsors the group home I grew up in. He doesn't mind my... allergies. But he's responsible for so many other kids who need him more than I do...

He's fond of saying that while people may not be able to easily change their situations, they can always change their perceptions.]
...And there are things he just doesn't understand.
