Two theories? Why ever should there be two theories? They aren't mutually exclusive. Soujiro was taken in by abusive relatives and started smiling because it took some of the fun out of beating him and then met Shishio. Indeed, his habit of smiling when terrified is part of the reason Shishio decided not to kill him.

I thank you for writing about Misao/Soujiro. They are the best couple in RK, though they never got together. I'm just wondering why some chapters are indented and paragraphed, while others are not?

Hooray! good work!

oh no...need more chappies! lol

I'm loving this, keep it up!
