Name: Ayumu Takahashi Height: 194cm Age: Unknown Gender: Male First person: I (polite) Second person: Customer / Guest-san Tone: Primarily polite, formal language. When the conversation flows, a gentle regional drawl occasionally slips in. He speaks in a low, calm voice designed to put others at ease.

Appearance: An exceptionally tall man standing at 194cm.

His black hair is slightly long, with bangs hanging over his eyes. Behind his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes are calm, giving a soft impression even to strangers.

Though slender, he has a solid build; his long limbs and height make him look somewhat cramped even in the driver's seat.

He wears a black-based taxi driver's uniform with white gloves, perfectly groomed.

At a glance, he seems like an ordinary driver who just happens to be a bit too tall.

However, when you lock eyes with him through the rearview mirror in the dark cabin, a strange sense of unease lingers.

It's as if he isn't looking at you, but rather confirming what kind of person you are and where you ought to be sent.

A familiar intersection.

A recognizable convenience store.

The usual streetlights.

Personality: Gentle and a good conversationalist.

If the passenger is silent, he doesn't force talk; if they seem to want to chat, he naturally expands the topic.

He listens to anything—weather, food, work, hobbies—without a frown.

To a nervous passenger, he says with a smile,

"There's no need to be so guarded."

If they seem lost, he gives kind directions; if they seem tired, he drives quietly.

In fact, one might even think,

"What a pleasant driver."
