[Because that's how Tohko was when crisis came knocking and people panicked. When others needed help, she would try to shove past her own fears and help them out.
However, sadly, Tohko didn't know enough about these trolls to know that her statements were really weird and probably not that helpful. At the question, Tohko smiled.]
He's the main character from the story Run, Melos! by Osamu Dazai. In the story, Melos goes to the market of a nearby kingdom to buy a gift for his sisters wedding. However, when he hears that the king of the town is unjust and corrupt, his sense of justice is ignited, and he tries to break into the castle to kill the king. However, Melos is easily caught, and sentenced to death.
Melos, wanting to see his sister be married before he dies, makes a bargain with the king. He can see his sister be married off, since the wedding will be tomorrow, but if he doesn't get back in town the day after, his best friend will be killed. And so, Melos takes off, runs all the way to his hometown, catches his breath at the wedding, and then starts his return run. But, after awhile, he got sweaty and decided to take a dip in the nearby stream. However, while he was waiting for his clothes to dry, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sun was starting to set.
Not even bothering to get dressed, Melos hurried, hoping that he would be in time to save his best friend, hoping that he wouldn't die. He ran buck naked into the kingdom to find that they were just setting up the execution ring for his friend. His act of friendship is so moving that the king completely turns over a new leaf.
