Upon opening the door, I was greeted with a rather pitiful sight. It was two scruffy looking men crouched at my doorstep. One was a blonde with a sweaty, pale complexion about him. His arm was slung over his companion's shoulders and the blonde seemed like he was about to keel over at any minute. The blonde's companion was... An blue-haired man... (Though, I can't talk. My hair is a weird color for a person as young as I am.) The said man's eyes, light brown in color, were trained on my person. He seemed weary of me and honestly, I couldn't blame him. I was really tall-around six-foot-five, maybe?-and was well built-or so I believe-from doing a lot of manual labor around my land. Tch... It didn't help that I was  wearing all black, including a matching black mask and bandana. And I just know that my eyes were glowing that accursed errie green...

"Yo-ou...-?" I winced and coughed. Geez, it been too long since I've spoken properly. "...need assistance for your friend?"

The blue-haired man seemed surprised at my question.

"Y-yes!" He exclaimed, hopeful.

I nodded and beckoned him inside. When he shook his head, I tilted mine in question.

"I-I don't have enough strength..." he muttered.

I nodded in understanding and learned forward, grabbing the blonde and holding him bridal style. I then proceeded to bring him inside, and the blue-haired man followed soon after.

"Ai," I called out,"Make sure you close the door!"

A slightly timid,"Yes!", answered me.

I frowned as I walked into a spare room. Am I that intimidating? I like to believe that I'm a gentle giant.

I laid the blonde man on a futon in the far left corner of the room, with a medium sized window above it. As the blue-haired man entered, I asked him to flip the light switch. When light filled the room, I was able to examine the blonde's condition unhindered. And as I did, my jaw began to clench and unclench. My eyebrows furrowed together in worry for the man laying before me.

How is this dude alive...?

Can you guess who the two new characters are~?
