That he wears all the time, he would spend most of his time with his mother and the rest watching the samurai train, he would just stare from afar and never say a thing.
One day his father would have made him spar against him, they both took a fighting stance and as it started it ended with his father on the ground and with 3 strikes: neck, side of the rib cage, and the achilles heel and then Haru spoke for the first time
Haru: " If being a samurai is about hurting people the i don't want to be one" says with a monotone voice
He let his wooden sword fall to the ground and leaving
Later on his father insisted that he would become the head of the clan after some time her mother intervened and told his father
Haru's Mother: " If he doesn't want to he should be forced to do so"
After his Father stop insisting
Some months after her mother past away... it was difficult for him and his father but his father keep his promise to not force him to become the head, as Haru tried to cope with the death of her mother he met a young gurl about his age.
(Haru: 7)
She was collecting tadpoles as she noticed Haru she smiled so brightly that made Haru break his inexpressive face, being mesmerized by the young girls beautiful smile after snapping of the trance and going back to the expressionless one, as he did the the girl started to talk and talk, Haru listened to the whole talk they where so out of the world the didn't notice the sun setting as the both parted way
Haru: " May i get you name?..."
The girl a bit startled by Haru's sudden voice she said
???: "The names Uta, but i really need to go my family are probably in a wary"
She said as she walked and waved a goodbye
The only thought going through Haru's mind was : "Pretty"
A few days later the meet again and the next and next...
They both grew close together mainly Uta, because she talked a lot about her while Haru Listened, she didn't seem unhappy that Haru wasn't speaking in truth she loved the fact Haru would sit and listen through the whole conversation
Uta: " Haru may i ask why you don't talk that much?"
Haru: "..."
Uta: "Its okay if you do-"
Haru: " I... can't really find word to express my self, but when im with you i feel like i can talk with me having to open my mouth"
Uta blushed at the statement of Haru, what did Haru mean by that then she looked at Haru and saw him smiling at her

Haru: "Did i say something wrong?"
