Short Appearance- Shishio Gen

I really thought that Gen would die (ep.36) after 20-30 episodes in Kekkaishi since his first appearance. I didn't even know that he'd stay a little longer. Sad. He's cool though, and he hasn't gotten any closer towards Sumimura Yoshimori and Yukimura Tokine (the main characters). I think he's much kind, towards everybody, and the pet dog he fed during one of the episodes of Kekkaishi. And I wonder if this girl. Aoi, found out that he's now dead.
