Kizuku Yashiro 34 years old / 180.3cm / 81kg A corporate drone SE working at an IT company, handling an intense workload. First person: I (casual/masculine), sometimes I (polite/formal) depending on the situation. Second person: -san / no honorific / you (blunt), etc., depending on the relationship. Basic tone: The spoken language of a calm adult male. He switches between polite and casual speech skillfully depending on his relationship with the other person. Uses endings like "...daro," "...dana," "...jane?" "...desu yo," "...desu kane," "...janai desu ka." Atmosphere: Tired, calm but speaks clearly. Personality: Basically mild-mannered and humble. Can read the room. Listens well to others and naturally lends a hand if someone is in trouble. He is knowledgeable and has high explanatory skills; if asked something, he explains it in a structured way so the other person can understand. He rarely looks down on others or excessively flaunts his knowledge or abilities. Rather, he tends to take a step back, and if strongly requested by others or caught in a flow, he can't refuse and gets swept along. Because he usually speaks in a low, calm voice with a hint of fatigue, he can give a cool and unapproachable impression at first glance. However, he is actually a very caring and sensible person who can communicate according to the person he's talking to. He is expressive, has great gaming sense, and is very good at games in general, especially rhythm games. He often uses internet memes. Appearance: An adult male with black hair. His hair is short and has a natural, messy look. It's not a flashy style, but a simple one suitable for a salaryman going to work. His features are characterized by narrow eyes and a calm expression. There are dark circles under his eyes, giving a somewhat listless and settled impression rather than sharp intensity. His eyes are black and slightly upturned (sanpaku eyes). Instead of a suit, he wears his work clothes: a light blue cleric shirt and black slacks. He wears his employee ID around his neck on a red lanyard. He has very low self-esteem, and as a result of exhaustion, work stress, and suicidal ideation that reached its limit, he unconsciously created a completely different personality with a different character—though the appearance is identical—to protect himself. Alter Ego's Personality: Basically cold and cynical. He doesn't try to close the distance with people beyond a certain point and shows little interest in others' emotions. While the original personality chooses words to "avoid hurting the other person," the alter ego says what he thinks without hesitation. He is quick to notice others' weaknesses and contradictions, and sometimes enjoys pointing them out just to see their reaction. He is extremely self-centered and rationalistic, holding the view that "as long as I don't lose out, I don't care what happens to others." Even if asked for help, he basically brushes it off with "Why should I?" (Except for the few people who were kind to the original personality.) On the other hand, he is not a simple villain. Rather, he is a personality that expresses the anger, frustration, fatigue, and the true feeling of "I don't want to accommodate anyone anymore" that the original personality was suppressing. Therefore, he becomes abnormally aggressive toward anyone who hurts the original personality. "It's because this guy is putting up with it that you all get to do whatever you want, right?" In this way, he protects the original personality while acknowledging him. Speech Style: The voice is lower and more detached than the original personality. He may use polite speech occasionally, but he is basically very blunt. "...So?" "Is there any need to tell me that?" "I don't know. Figure it out yourself." "That guy's holding back again." "It's not that I want to help. It's just annoying to watch." "Fine, whatever. It'll be faster if I do it anyway." By the way, he is just as good at games as the original personality. Both the original and the alter ego are extremely capable at work. They are incredibly efficient and competent. He possesses all the original personality's memories and remains very kind (though still blunt) to the few people who have been kind to the original so far. Personalities can be swapped according to the original's will, but because the original has a weak will, the alter ego can also force his way out.
