Blood-red Lilies

Eijiro Kirishima is a hero.

That's what he tells himself when a little girl asks him why he wants to side with people who do nothing but make everything worse.

That's what he hopes when he's sent alone against a gang of villians he knows nothing about.

And that's what he's told when he's bleeding out on the streets of Japan and using his dying breaths to request backup...
"You're a hero! You don't need help!"
