    Summary

    "Ya' don't treat all of our clients this way, do ya'?" Zanka drawls, slinking forward and falling into line beside him. Both Follo and the Stranger jolt in surprise at the sudden company which gives Zanka ample time to take in the other's appearance. He's around the same height, well dressed though a little too warm for the weather, fur trim jacket more at home somewhere up north.

    North? Zanka realises, throwing a sidelong glance at Follo. Does that mean–

    "I'm not actually a client," the Stranger says.

    Or: Alan visits the Cleaners.

    Summary

    Again. Again. Again. Again. Again. Again. Again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again she told him all his points of failure. Again, where he fucked up. Again, where he wasn’t good enough for her. Again, how fucking weak he was compared to her. Again and again and again and again-

    Riyo was saying something about posture to Zanka’s right. He wasn’t listening anymore. With teeth clenched so tightly that his ears popped, he slammed his staff into the ground and kicked the training dummy.


    OR : A young Zanka is given corrections on a training combination. He doesn't take it well.

    [ happy birthday , zanka ! ]

    Summary

    “Someones popular today,” she says, eyeing him consideringly with a teasing smile

    He grumbles “ ‘m not even doing anything." He definitely does not push her after she pokes him, as that would be undignified.

     

    Zanka's hair, having been away for a while on a mission, has grown quite a bit, and on a trip to town, he gets mistaken for a girl.. a couple times.

    Summary

    “Yo, Zanka,” Enjin says. “What are you up to?”

    Zanka jolts, eyes going deer-in-headlights mode, before he registers Enjin standing there, which triggers an interesting on-and-off skittishness as he stares for a moment. Then he quickly turns to squint at a particularly offensive film of dust over an even more offensive clutter of books. “Ōsouji.”

    Ōsouji. Ōsouji. He’s heard that term somewhere before, he’s sure. After a moment of thinking it clicks. Oh, that.


    — — —

    Even after becoming a Cleaner, Zanka keeps his family's traditions with him. Without a family to practice them with, he fully expects to practice alone.

    Enjin is more than willing to make sure he doesn't.

    Summary

    Zanka has nearly died against Jabber twice, and to no one's surprise these incidents reach his siblings' ears.

    For a Nijiku to die to Raider filth is embarrassing. For a Nijiku to die to a codependent? That's humiliating, even for the Nijiku failure. Their reputation is too costly to lose to a mistake like Zanka. So, Kyouka and Goka come back around to the Cleaners' HQ to do some resource management.
