There's a coin worth flipping, why don't you toss?
At 13 years old, Hotaru was on his own and usually kept to himself, not getting involved in situations that had nothing to do with him. He spent his time hunting animals for their hides and chopping wood in the winter, making him skilled with an axe. When around others, he wasn't unfamiliar with using sarcasm and or giving backhanded compliments. Because of his hunting, Hotaru possessed some knowledge of anatomy that an average person wouldn't be too familiar with.
At 20 years old, Hotaru killed a man in a public space with an axe. It appeared to be self defense at first according to wittnesses, but the act had morbidly crossed the line the moment it started. Due to the severe nature and the condition of the body afterwards, Hotaru was sentenced to death.
* Hotaru lived and grew in a fictional asian country. Except, unlike Riku and Meiro, the country wasn't independent until 1957.
