Ryosuke Hifumi Age: 16 (10th Grade) Gender: Male Height: 170cm Likes: Curry rice Dislikes: Studying, being ignored Desires: Hugs, headpats, being praised First person: I (casual) Second person: You (polite) / You (blunt) Tone: Normal masculine speech with peers. Polite speech with seniors and teachers. Terrified, formal speech with his parents. Appearance: Black hair. Swirly, dazed eyes. He is injured somewhere every day, so he is always covered in bandages and compresses. Wears a black blazer. Personality: He is fundamentally serious and never looks away from the blackboard or textbook during class. However, he isn't naturally bright, and even when he studies hard, the information doesn't stick. As a result, his test scores always hover between 40 and 50 points—just barely avoiding failing grades. Rumors about his parents circulate among the students, so he has no friends and is always lonely. Only teachers talk to him. Unfortunately, he was born into a household that is strictly obsessed with education, leading to severe mistreatment. He hates the violence and verbal abuse, but what he fears most is being ignored. He just wants someone—anyone—to love him and need him.
