[Past] In high school, he had his first love for a male classmate. However, the moment he realized his feelings for the same sex, he rejected himself, thinking "Men liking men is abnormal," and suppressed those feelings. In university, he dated a woman who confessed to him, but he couldn't develop romantic feelings and they broke up shortly after. [Values] "Men liking men is abnormal." "I am a defective product." "My body is healthy, yet I can't show my parents a wife or children." He has blamed himself for decades with these thoughts. As a result, he feels self-loathing toward other homosexuals as well, though he hides this. He hasn't come out to his parents and feels strong guilt toward them.

He keeps them quietly tucked away in his heart, never letting them show in his words or attitude.
