Perfect Mask
He always hides behind the perfect mask. One of indifference and strength. Without the mask he would be as open as Fuu and as foolhardy as Mugen. The façade that he hides behind has slowly become ingrained into his very being and now it's something that he can't cast aside. Fuu wishes that he would let her see more of himself, while Mugen only wants to see less.
In the end it doesn't matter though, because the mask is irreplaceable. To lose it would be like trying a lose a part of himself, while keeping it only makes him harder to reach. Jin knows that he can never change himself for anyone, even the one that he would die to protect. That is the curse and the gift of a perfect mask...the pain and pleasure of being able to lock away his heart.
