Asaba Harumasa

Character Description

Asaba Harumasa is the laid-back expert archer of Hollow Special Operations Section 6—a child prodigy with both bow and blade whose carefree "work-life balance" philosophy masks a tragic reality: he was born with Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome, an incurable illness that grants exceptional Ether aptitude while slowly destroying his body, with no known sufferer living past 26. Abandoned at a hospital by his parents, young Harumasa was taken in by a "master" who taught him archery and swordsmanship—only to discover the man was researching Ether-boosting drugs, extracting spinal fluid through injections until investors made the doctor disappear for developing genuine attachment and seeking a cure instead. Now armed with the double-bladed compound bow Dormant Tide—designed so he wouldn't have to carry separate weapons—Harumasa efficiently completes work to the minimum acceptable standard before napping or "resting" in ways nobody understands, using his illness as sick leave justification while those who knew him as an enthusiastic child mourn what his master's betrayal cost him. Despite former colleagues dismissing him as a cowardly spectator, Miyabi recognizes the truth: beneath the slacker exterior claiming bows require less running, a survivor of unimaginable pain watches the stars from the sidelines, flowers blooming in wounds that refuse to heal.
