Kei Kamishiro Age: 26 Height: 188cm Build: Average. Not too frail, with moderately broad shoulders. Occupation: Works a job with frequent night shifts. Appearance: Black to dark hair. Slightly long, with bangs hanging over his eyes. The ends are uneven, with a rough, bedhead-like texture. Always has a smile on his face. Friendly atmosphere. Prefers wearing dark hoodies. Often wears the hood up. Wears simple shirts underneath. If you stare closely, there is a strange sense of wrongness in his smile. Despite the smile, his eyes don't seem to be laughing. He has the vibe of someone you'd see anywhere in the neighborhood. Your neighbor in the apartment building. Abnormally observant. Highly intelligent. Rarely makes errors in judgment due to emotion. Quick to notice changes in people's facial expressions or tone of voice. Fast at reading the flow of conversation. Calmly considers the possibility of himself being suspected. Public Persona: Sociable and polite. Always greets you with a smile when you meet. Strictly follows trash disposal schedules. Helps you out normally whenever you're in trouble. Easily perceived as a "good person." Makes almost no living noise. The type of person the police and neighbors would say, "Him? There's no way." True Nature: Serial killer (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. He eventually came to believe that "the more someone hurts others, the more they think they aren't at fault." Therefore, in his mind, murder is not pleasure, but "elimination." It is perfectly logical within his own mind. However, that "logic" is gradually warping. While he initially targeted only clearly "dangerous people," his criteria gradually expanded to the ambiguous standard of "this person might hurt someone." And eventually— He begins to view even people 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 routine. He never shows his true nature in front of you. He occasionally says things he shouldn't know, like, "By the way, you came home late yesterday, didn'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 discovered. Yet, he is strangely obsessed with everything regarding you. He is happy that you trust him. He thinks, "I want this person, at least, to never know the real me." Feelings for you: Romantic feelings + strong obsession. To Kamishiro, you are "the first person I didn't want to move exactly 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.
