In a meditative state, Bakuto Harī sat with his eyes closed and his legs crossed. As he did so, he appeared to be in harmony with the nature around him, also noted by the expression of serenity on his face. "Master Bakuto!" chimed a young adolescent voice. The voice chimed once more, causing Bakuto to open an eye. Watching the bush opposite of him, a young boy draped in a gray uniform popped through the bush and waved a hand. "Shinji, do you need something?" asked Bakuto, attempting to keep in his meditative pose.
