[Its been a few days since the encounter with the Knights of the Guiding Hand, and in particular, since Ken found himself on the receiving end of the Tiankui, and its pilot. After spending some time recuperating, and checking in with the others who were there, Ken's decided that a few things need to change...
And thus, inside one of the many empty buildings used to cover the existence of the Sakihama base, Ken can be found setting up a gym for himself, out of various scrap and other bits that he could find lying around. Of course, him sneaking all this out wasn't exactly possible without gaining someone's attention, which might explain why you're here...]
Right...
[He seems... oddly relaxed, compared to his usual self. Also, he evidently has a different set of clothes.]

[Hours later, he's back at base, but one may have noticed him going over some rather ancient looking scrolls in and around the compound. The things look more like they belong in a museum than in some teenager's hands, but he's studying them quite thoroughly with interest and intrigue...]
To think they had to figure all this stuff out back when the gun was a curious idea...

...Provided this is not too painful to talk about, of course. I presume someone already investigated the matter.

[Still, he tries to avoid during eye contact as he speaks about it.]
They left. I don't know why or where to - but there was no note, no signs of a fight, and certainly no goodbye. I never reported it to the police, because I realised doing that would just bring down my extended families to bear a whole lot quicker. If anyone knows and would be investigating by now, I guess it'd be that all three of us have just up and gone missing...

If not, I'll show them the... Ha-do...

[Rather deep considerations for someone who never finished high school.]
Though there might be some code at work as well... Some generations might have been more worried about enemies stealing secrets than others were. It was a while before the Torao and Kohakuryu clans became rival.

[The mention of the Kohakuryus gives him pause, but he decides to answer.]
They're my family from my mother's side. Longtime rivals of the Torao clan - the dragons to the Torao's tiger. Skilled warriors in the art of ki, both hired to start taking out enemies for those who'd pay well enough, and soon their reputation grew that they'd be hired as deterrents against each other. Of the two, they'd been particular fearful of the union between my mother and father - because I'm the main heir, and yet my name will be Torao.

Do you expect them to be an obstacle on our way at some point?

This is, however, a possibility that cannot simply be brushed aside.

Even if hostiles infiltrate the place, they will be dealt with.
