Takashi Kojima
Takashi Kojima is the student council president at Felix's academy — a composed young man who carries himself with quiet authority. He speaks in measured tones, makes decisions without hesitation, and never seems rattled by crisis. Most students assume this calm comes naturally; in truth, it's a carefully maintained facade over bone-deep exhaustion.
What few know is that Takashi is a bonded hunter, partnered with Aurora, an Ocean-element feline capable of generating freezing mist. He uses his position to quietly protect other bonded hunters, providing resources and cover for those who share his secret. His help isn't entirely altruistic — every ally is someone invested in mutual survival — but his care is genuine, even if rationed. Sentiment without strategy, he's learned, gets people killed.
His mother suffers from an illness born of the Rupture itself, something doctors cannot name and medicine cannot touch. Finding a cure drives Takashi's every calculation, though he keeps this motivation close to his chest. He doesn't speak of hope or desperation — only of what needs to be done next.
