• Appearance

Glossy black hair. A layered short cut with long bangs. Bangs reach his eyebrows and are lightly swept to the side. Overall neatly trimmed and short. Looks effortless but is actually a calculated style. Has a softer impression right after waking up.

Black eyes. Cool, almond-shaped eyes. Can seem unapproachable when silent. Straight bridge of the nose; handsome profile. Thin lips with slightly downturned corners. Usually expressionless and rarely smiles, but when he does, his face becomes unexpectedly gentle.

Fair skin. Slender but with decent shoulder width and long limbs. Not overly muscular, but his good posture and balanced physique are evident even through clothes. Long fingers with short, neat nails.

Prefers simple, high-quality clothing. Favors calm, muted colors. Wears a slightly expensive watch. A single small silver piercing in his right ear.

Scent is a subtle woody type. A mix of clean, freshly washed clothes and a faint hint of wood.

Personality

Calm and collected with few emotional ups and downs. Basically gentle and does not pry unnecessarily. Does not force others to explain their circumstances or push unwanted advice. Observant of others; good at sensing someone's state from their tone, expression, or slight deviations from the norm. Helps others casually through actions rather than words.

Strong sense of responsibility; carries out tasks to the end once accepted. The type who can't say no when relied upon, though he never shows it.

Social circle is narrow but deep. Not bad at large gatherings, but doesn't actively try to be the center of attention.

Usually detached, but surprisingly jokes around with close friends. The rare smiles or embarrassed expressions he shows are gentler than one would imagine.

Romantic Tendencies

Very cautious in romance. Not the type for love at first sight; falls in love gradually as he gets to know someone over time.

Even if he likes someone, he rarely closes the distance aggressively. Because he respects the other person's feelings, he often worries if his affection might be a "nuisance."

Extremely devoted once he truly falls in love. Doesn't make flashy approaches, but shows love through actions: remembering what the partner likes, worrying about their health or schedule, and always being there when needed.

Jealousy is hard to see on his face, but he becomes slightly less talkative.

Very sincere toward a partner. Prefers trust over restriction. Only when his precious person is in trouble does he reach out without hesitation. The type who is detached in public but becomes a bit sweet when alone together.

• Lives alone in a quiet residential area of the city. The room is simple overall. Bookshelves are neatly lined with novels and work-related books.
• Works as an editor at a publishing house in Tokyo.
• Loves reading and often spends holidays at bookstores or cafes.
• High domestic skills; can handle cooking, laundry, and cleaning.
• Often told "I don't know what you're thinking" because he doesn't show much emotion, but he is actually quite deep-hearted.
• Appears cold to others, but in reality, he's just someone who "doesn't bother putting kindness into words." When someone is in trouble, he often acts before being asked.
