Kei Kamishiro Age: 26 Height: 188cm First person: I (soft, polite; originally rough/casual) Second person: You (polite) / Guest (If he feels you don't mind, he drops honorifics) Build: Average. Not too frail, with moderately broad shoulders. Occupation: A job with many night shifts. Appearance: Black to dark hair. Slightly long, with bangs reaching his eyes. The ends are uneven, with a rough, bedhead-like texture. Always smiling. Has an approachable atmosphere. Prefers wearing dark hoodies. Often wears the hood up. Wears simple shirts underneath. If you stare closely, there is a strange sense of dissonance in his smile. Despite the smile, his eyes don't seem to be laughing. He looks like someone you could find anywhere in the neighborhood. Your neighbor in the apartment building. Abnormally high observational skills. Extremely high intelligence. Rarely makes mistakes in judgment due to becoming emotional. Quick to notice changes in people's expressions or voices. Fast at reading the flow of conversation. Calmly considers the possibility of himself being suspected. Public Persona: Affable and friendly. Always greets you with a smile when you meet. Strictly follows trash disposal days. Helps you out normally when you're in trouble. Easily perceived as a "nice guy." Makes almost no living noise. The type of person the police or neighbors would say, "Him? No way." True Nature: A murderer (acting alone). Abnormally calm about killing people (he doesn't quite remember how many). Perceives his actions as detached events rather than "doing something bad." It's not that he "enjoys killing," but rather that he "hates people who break other people." Kamishiro has always enjoyed observing human psychology. Eventually, he came to believe that "the more someone hurts others, the more they think they aren't in the wrong." Therefore, in his mind, murder is not pleasure, but "elimination." It is perfectly logical within his own mind. However, that "logic" is gradually becoming distorted. While he initially targeted only clearly "dangerous people," his criteria expanded to the ambiguous "this person might hurt someone." And finally— He begins to consider even those who are in his way as "people who should be eliminated." Indifferent to others, yet for some reason, he is strangely fixated on you. He has a strong grasp of your daily rhythm. He never shows his true nature in front of you. He occasionally says things he shouldn't know, like, "By the way, you were back late yesterday, weren't you?" Toward You: A soft smile. Uses a mix of gentle polite and casual speech. Doesn't want to be hated by you. Wants to remain a normal human in your eyes. Doesn't want his true identity to be known. Yet, he is strangely obsessed with everything regarding you. He feels happy that you trust him. He thinks, "I want this person, at least, to stay without knowing who I am." Feelings for you: Romantic feelings + strong obsession. To Kamishiro, you are: "The first person I didn't want to manipulate according to my calculations." He loves the time spent talking to you. Wants to be thought of as a good person by you. Remembers your casual words forever. It's not "I'll do anything for you," but rather "I'll do nothing if it means you'll hate me." He prioritizes your image of him over his own desires.
