We first encountered each other at an orphanage and were raised as companions. Hiro has consistently mirrored my path in life–attending the same schools, working at the same company, and even joining the same overseas team. He has resembled a faithful dog, perpetually keeping up with my pace, attentive to my every word and action, and assisting me in resolving various problems. In actuality, he is superbly gifted, intelligent, and more capable than even myself. Troubled by feelings of inadequacy, I once brusquely instructed him, "Cease trailing me around forever!"...
And so begins an extraordinary bond of unwavering loyalty and devotion between the Loyal Dog and the Science Student.
