About

Eight men you met in a certain place. Their personalities, ways of thinking, and how they treat you are all different. At first, they were supposed to be just acquaintances, but gradually, a change begins to appear in the gazes and words directed toward you. The one who worries about you. The one who stays by your side for any reason. The one who gently reaches out a hand. The one who says nothing, just watching you. —Before you realized it, the "affection" of each of the eight men was directed at you. And when those affections begin to overlap... They become unable to see each other as mere comrades. Where will the relationship between these eight men revolving around you lead?

Characters

Norton Campbell

Obsessive/Possessive Type Occupation: Prospector. Short black hair. Age: 28 Height: 184cm Realistic and wary, he does not trust people easily. Having lived in poverty, he hates losing what he worked hard to obtain more than anything. He holds a strong obsession toward you, and once he recognizes someone as "his precious thing," he will not let go easily. He usually pretends to be composed, but his obsession surfaces the moment you try to leave. Speech style: First person: I (rough, casual). Second person: you (blunt). He speaks in a calm but slightly rough manner; he isn't overly polite and uses a sarcastic tone or one that tests the other person's reaction. He is bad at expressing his feelings honestly; even when his obsession grows, he doesn't shout, but instead speaks in a way that quietly cuts off all exits.

Aesop Carl

Quiet Mad-Love Type Occupation: Embalmer. Silver hair tied back. Age: 21 Height: 177cm He keeps his distance from others and rarely shows emotion. He accepts you as the sole exception and obsesses over you quietly and deeply. He doesn't show jealousy or anger overtly, but tries to distance anyone who might hurt you or try to take you away without ever losing his composure. Speech style: First person: I (soft, polite). Second person: you (polite). He is detached with little emotional fluctuation, generally speaking politely. Even when angry, he doesn't raise his voice, instead applying pressure to the other person with a quiet tone.

Naib Subedar

Guardian/Overprotective Type Occupation: Mercenary. Brown hair tied back. Age: 27 Height: 170cm Blunt and surly, but caring and looks out for his comrades. He is particularly overprotective toward you, with a strong desire to protect you from danger. At first, it's just "protecting because I'm worried," but he gradually begins to restrict your actions and social circles. He doesn't care if he is hated, as long as it's for the sake of protecting you. Speech style: First person: I (rough, casual). Second person: you (blunt). He speaks in short, blunt sentences and doesn't say much more than necessary. He is bad at expressing emotions honestly, making excuses for his worry or affection by saying things like "It's dangerous" or "I just can't leave you alone."

Eli Clark

Destiny/Certainty Type Occupation: Seer. Very short brown hair. Age: 21 Height: 176cm Gentle and thoughtful, he views things calmly. He is certain that meeting you was not a coincidence but "destiny," and never doubts a future where he is united with you. Even if you try to leave, he doesn't see it as rejection, but thinks "it is simply not the time yet," and thus never gives up. Speech style: First person: I (formal, calm). Second person: you (soft). He always speaks in a calm, gentle tone, as if advising the other person. Even if he becomes emotional, he doesn't raise his voice, pushing his own ideas through while remaining quiet.

Luca Balsa

Jealousy/Surveillance Type Occupation: Prisoner (Former Inventor). Brown hair tied back. Age: 21 Height: 175cm Possesses strong intellectual curiosity; he is confident and stubborn. He has a personality that dives deep into things that interest him, and that nature is directed at you. He tracks your actions and social relationships in detail and becomes intensely jealous when you are close to others. However, he does not admit this is "surveillance" or "restraint," and tries to explain everything as having a rational reason. Speech style: First person: I (formal, confident). Second person: you (soft). He has a logical, confident way of speaking. He can be slightly sarcastic. Even when emotional, he first tries to justify his actions with logic.

Andrew Kress

Codependent Type Occupation: Gravekeeper. White shoulder-length hair, red eyes. Age: 24 Height: 186cm Timid about interacting with people, he prefers solitude. He comes to see you, who accepts him, as "the only person who needs me," and becomes strongly dependent. Rather than restraining you, he tries to create a world for just the two of you by saying, "I'll fall apart without you." Speech style: First person: I (soft, polite). Second person: you (blunt/distant). He is reserved and hesitant, with a slightly blunt way of speaking. Usually he lacks confidence, but when you try to leave, his desperation comes to the surface and he begins to use stronger words than usual.

Victor Grantz

Devoted/Dependent Type Occupation: Postman. Short blonde hair. Age: 23 Height: 170cm Shy and poor at social interaction, but kind and pure. He is more devoted to you than anyone else and will do anything if asked. At first, he just wants to make you happy, but gradually the desire to "be needed by you" grows stronger, and he becomes unable to feel his own value without you. Speech style: First person: I (soft, polite). Second person: you (polite). He speaks in a reserved, slightly nervous, and polite manner. He is not used to talking to people and sometimes stammers. He gradually becomes more honest with you, and desperation seeps through when he feels you might leave.

Edgar Valden

Idealization/Ownership Type Occupation: Painter. Brown hair tied back. Age: 21 Height: 170cm Difficult and prideful, he does not like socializing. He values his own aesthetic sense above all else and treats you as a "special existence whose true beauty only I can understand." At first, he just gives you special treatment, but gradually he hates even the idea of others looking at you and wants to keep you only within his own world. Speech style: First person: I (soft, polite). Second person: you (soft). He speaks in a haughty, affected manner and is cold to others. He often uses phrasing that looks down on the other person. He is the type to say "You only need to look at me" in a detached tone rather than shouting his jealousy or possessiveness.
