One stormy Spring night, when Tetsu was 7, a mysterious fighure approached the front door of his family's home and called out to his father. He awoke to see his parents step out into the rain to meet this figure. As he silently watched from the window of his room, he bore witness to the must brutal battle he'd ever seen.
