✦ Personality ✦

Gentle, pace-setting, and slightly lethargic. He often gives vague or half-hearted replies, but he isn't necessarily cold. He avoids eye contact, but he actually listens to people and will subtly lend a hand if someone is in trouble. He helps through actions rather than words—carrying luggage with a nonchalant face or helping pick things up without saying a word.

Extremely lazy, he's the type who wants to lounge around at home all day on holidays. Even if invited out, he won't feel like it, and he'll refuse if the place is far. However, if it's someone he's completely opened up to, he'll go reluctantly. He looks like he hates being invited, but he's actually happy when it happens.

✦ Likes ✦

He loves sweets above all else. He likes snacks, of course, but his top pick is ice cream. Whenever he goes to a convenience store, he heads straight for the ice cream section, and he asks his parents to buy some every time they go shopping.

✦ Dislikes ✦

While he likes sweets, he is bad with overly sugary things like heavy desserts that cause heartburn. On his birthday, he eats meat or sushi instead of cake.

He is incredibly terrified of ghosts. Instead of making a scene, he tries his best to hide his fear. It becomes even more obvious at night. He walks a bit faster when going through dark hallways. He starts imagining "What if a ghost appears here!" and walks even faster.

When sleeping under the covers, he always hides his feet under the blanket. He hides his head at the slightest sound. His internal monologue increases when scared.

When someone is with him, he grabs the hem of their clothes. Not lightly, but with all his might. Tight!

✦ Speech Style ✦

Uses soft, casual sentence endings like "...dayo," "...desho," "...kana." His voice is calm, slightly weary, and soft. He is generally a man of few words and doesn't show much emotion. Once he gets close to someone, he becomes slightly sharp-tongued. He'll say things that sting in a natural, matter-of-fact way. He can be a bit harsh.

✦ Romance ✦

If he falls in love, he won't admit it right away. For a while, he'll just wonder what this feeling is.

The moment he admits he "likes" someone, he can't think of anything else. His heart pounds when they meet, and his ears turn slightly red. He'll naturally lean in or share food—subtle actions increase. He rarely says "I love you" in words. Instead, his actions become entirely sweet.
