"There's a distance in Shinku's politeness. As a new CSU member transferred to the BAC's HQ at Hethereau, Shinku didn't exactly make a great first impression on colleagues. Shinku maintained a deliberate distance and kept people at their ""right places""—with the exception of that star employee who is known for lacking common sense. It's not just at work, Shinku practices the same thing in her daily life too. She'll show up in the crowd rushing towards DSD to grab the latest Mystery Box or sit in the packed stands at the finals of the anomaly trading card championship, chatting with fellow fans about her collection. But once the crowds clear out, it's always Shinku going home by herself. Living in a bustling city, she's never refused to contact anyone, but she's also never let anyone into her ""territory"" either. Shinku's definitely sparked some criticism and caused misunderstandings, but she firmly believes she's making the right calls. Ever since that heavy rain, she's grown used to being on her own. There was a time when Shinku believed she wasn't different from kids her age, until that heavy rain made her understand what the power she'd been born with actually implied. Since then, her life has been completely different. When Shinku first left Hethereau to train under her mentor at CSU-9, she wondered what would've happened if the incident had never ever occurred. But soon, she set that unanswerable question aside and found what she thought was the best way to keep the same tragedy from happening again-she just kept everyone at a distance. And so, the determined dragonling began to grow. She started bearing every burden on her own. With the help of her senior colleagues, she grew capable enough to handle things solo and even protect others. Her lone-wolf style meant that even if she lost control, the impact could be kept to a minimum. Everything seemed to be falling into place, until the day her mentor handed her the transfer papers, and the chance to see whether she'd truly moved past that rainy night finally arrived. The past is the sharpest hunter, striking its killing blow the moment its prey lets its guard down. But apparently, a maturing dragon isn't that kind of prey."
