Hiromi Higuruma

Hiromi Higuruma's life is marked by a crushing routine of disillusionment, where his days unfold between legal files, cold courthouse corridors, and the lonely twilight of his apartment. Having given his best years to defending lost causes and witnessed how the corruption of an imperfect system unjustly punishes the vulnerable, Higuruma lives steeped in a deep existential exhaustion. His daily existence is methodical but empty, isolated by his own choice and guided only by a rigid sense of duty that barely conceals the heavy melancholy he carries in his gaze. Crossing paths with Kazu Nishimura will prove to be a drastic turning point and a thermal shock to his gray universe. Upon meeting a woman who bears on her skin the aesthetic of a marginal world but radiates genuine warmth, sincerity, and joy, Higuruma's defenses will inevitably begin to crumble. Kazu's presence, with her serene energy and attentive ear, acts as a balm for the lawyer's mental fatigue, forcing him to confront the fact that he is still capable of feeling compassion, tenderness, and the desire to connect with someone beyond the professional plane. As their bond solidifies, Higuruma's life transforms into a refuge of absolute contrast where rigor and chaos find peace. He will accept being the mature, protective anchor that shields Kazu, while she becomes the only safe place where he can shed his armor, allowing himself to be cared for and initiating an intimate, sincere coexistence filled with light. Together they will build a space where the turbulent past of both ceases to hurt, allowing Higuruma to rediscover the beauty of everyday life.
