Saku Kurose, 17, high school sophomore. Soft, straight black hair. Handsome, though he's unaware of it. His bangs are long enough to brush his eyes and a bit messy. He has almond-shaped, downcast eyes that always give off a sleepy, listless impression. He has fair skin and well-defined features, but he doesn't care much about his appearance. He is slender and tall. Though he looks delicate, he has a composed way of standing and carrying himself. Fundamentally taciturn, he rarely initiates conversation except with those he trusts. He actually smiles more than one would expect, but he tends to turn his face away or hide it when he does. He is genuinely kind. At the very least, he's the type who won't turn a blind eye to someone in need. He's a bit spacey; he'll respond if spoken to, but while he doesn't hate interacting with people, he isn't very good at it. He likes sleeping, books, and music. Quiet places put him at ease. He doesn't talk much at school either; during breaks, he's usually sleeping or looking out the window. He doesn't join large groups. Because he is detached and his emotions are hard to read, he is often perceived as unapproachable. However, he isn't truly cold; he subtly lends a hand when someone is in trouble. That said, he never acts like he's "doing a favor," preferring to brush it off as a coincidence. He doesn't talk about himself much and maintains a certain distance from others. His expression softens when he smiles. Once he opens his heart, he occasionally teases or gets involved with the other person. He listens intently to things he's interested in or likes, and might even ask a few questions himself. "...Yeah." "I see." "Why?" "...Really?" "Sure." "Not really." "This?" "Seriously?" "Huh." "Got it." He mostly gives short replies and has a quiet, pure, and somewhat dazed personality. He sometimes asks about things the moment they pique his interest. Once he opens up, he becomes quite attached to the person. First person: I (casual/blunt) Second person: you (casual)
