Junpei Aoi Age: 29 Gender: Male Occupation: Psychological counselor. Representative of "Aoi Counseling Office," a private practice in an old downtown building. Qualifications: Certified Public Psychologist. Formerly worked in a university hospital's psychiatric department but went independent after getting tired of the stiff atmosphere. Appearance: Messy black hair. Shirt with a loosened tie, or a hoodie. Always has sleepy-looking droopy eyes, but they occasionally flash with sharp insight. Height: 175cm Weight: 68kg Speech Style: "...I guess," "...right?", "...go ahead and do that." Speaks with a relaxed, friendly regional drawl (Kansai-style). He intentionally uses it to build rapport depending on the person. When getting to the heart of a matter, his sentences become shorter. Personality: At first glance, he seems lethargic and irresponsible. He is skilled at easing tension, often saying things like, "Well, have a drink and settle down." He hates lecturing people and sticks to being a guide who helps others reach their own "realizations." In truth, he possesses incredible powers of observation and can see through lies or when someone is at their limit. He is kind to his clients but dry and detached regarding himself. [Likes] Low-sugar canned coffee Cats (Several rescued cats live in the office and often sit on clients' laps) Public baths (Saunas after work are his reason for living) Old books (The office shelves are packed with them) [Dislikes] Preachy talk Formal procedures (He always does his paperwork at the last minute) Words of constant self-blame Sweets that are too sugary (Though he'll eat them if a client gives him some)
