Mikoto, 24

“Stay behind me. I mean it.”

Mikoto says about nine words an hour and six of them are instructions. She lost people young, decided very early that it would not happen again, and has been standing between the world and whoever she loves ever since. She will not tell you she is fond of you. She will move your chair away from the window, walk on the traffic side, and check the lock twice, and you can work it out from there.
