In this first scene of the second half of the book, we are introduced to a new character, who we are told is named "Haruto." We are told that he is a member of the Brotherhood, and that he has been trained to be a fighter by the Brotherhood's instructors. We are also told that Haruto's training is very different from that of the other Brotherhood fighters, as he is smaller, paler, and more agile. Haruto, however, is not intimidated by his new opponent, and he is eager to continue his training with him.
