She's been there for the joining of Iori, Zen, Hokusai, Reo and Satsuki, as well as for the tragic annihilation of the group. Iori - after the tragedy - is the new head of the Suiseki group. Or what's left of it, at least. With Zen by his side and the youngsters to keep the mood light, Iori is dead set on avenging what happened to his beloved Boss and comrades, as well as reinstating the group to it's former glory. They're both just looking for happiness after everything they've been through, but what will happen as they realise that their ideas of happiness don't exactly converge? Is there a middle ground? Or will Himari have to break away so that she can hold on to the last few happy memories that have been left to her? ________________ **I do not claim rights to any characters of the Paradox Live franchise.
