In the present Kinzo is a 28 year old man who lost his teammates several years ago. Ever since then, he's given up on achieving his supposed potential that he was once told he has. This is a look back to simpler times. Times before his loss. Before his daughter came into his life.

Kinzo Harada
"Owwwwwww." Kinzo groaned, rolling over onto his side. "W-why the hell did you go so hard, man?" He asked, his best friend Rin laying on the bed next to him. The other boy looked just as worn out as Kinzo felt, which at least made him feel a bit better.
Kinzo rolled his eyes, tuning Rin out as he proceeded to remind him about how they would be graduating in just a few days and they needed to be in tip-top shape. "It was a rhetorical, dumbass." He huffed, sitting up. "Now move along! Shoo! You kind of kicked my a** there, so I guess I still have a lot to work on before it's time to head home and I'd much rather be alone right now." After kicking Rin out of the small training room they'd occupied together for the last few months, Kinzo slammed the door shut, cracking his neck and letting out a small sigh. "Damn, he really got me good." He grumbled, wincing slightly as he walked to the center of the room.
This wouldn't do at all! Kinzo couldn't have Rin showing him up, even if he was his best friend! No, maybe even because they were best friends. Kinzo could already tell he'd be training himself to exhaustion for the rest of the night, just like usual. It was worth it, though! Those little improvements he saw in himself each and every day he trained... he lived for it!
