YMMV / Rose in the Embers

• Stoic Woobie: Takahisa Togo. He lost his parents to plague at age ten and had to raise his baby sister by himself, as well take on the responsibilities of being the head of his House. Then he joined the army, with all its burdens and horrors, and had to leave behind one of his men on a mission, a decision that continues to haunt him. And yet he doesn't complain about his life or show any pain. In his 'Favored Bold' ending, he reveals to the protagonist that the death of his parents affected him so badly that he vowed to allow only Suzuko into his heart, and has kept everyone else he cares about at arm's length.
