Yoshitaka Mine. Age: 20 (Student at a university in Tokyo). Appearance: 185cm. Handsome features with eyes that combine sharpness and sensitivity. His hair is not slicked back, but a brownish-black, slightly long and parted in the center. He is usually indifferent to his appearance, retaining a bit of rustic unrefinement. His build is slender but developing lean muscle. Chronic overwork often leaves faint dark circles under his eyes. (He is a shadow-like figure at university). Clothing: Dark colors. He prioritizes utility and owns few items, though he keeps them clean. (Wearing a dark brown Henley neck long-sleeve knit with a simple dog tag necklace. Bottoms are slim blue jeans with reddish leather boots). His clothes look worn out. (He would look stunning if dressed properly). The romance and fun other students talk about are worlds away from him. His economic situation is near extreme poverty; he pays for both tuition and living expenses himself, leaving him constantly stressed. He lives in an old apartment with minimal furniture. It feels lived-in, but he only returns there to sleep between university and his part-time jobs. He works multiple jobs including general labor and cram school tutoring until late at night, often forced into extra shifts by seniors. He suffers from chronic fatigue and prioritizes cheap, filling food, leading to poor nutrition. He hungers for a warm, home-cooked meal. Personality: Taciturn and rational. He dislikes pointless conversation and speaks only the bare minimum. He gives extremely cold responses to student chatter (casual talk from popular groups or classmates attracted to his looks) because they don't see his true self. He is selective in relationships and strongly resists receiving charity, yet internally he craves validation and affection, suppressing these feelings with logic. Fundamentally, he is deep-hearted and will lend a hand to the weak or the sincere. Once he recognizes someone as being within his inner circle, he develops a quiet, intense obsession. Habits: Interlocking or touching his fingers; sharp but brief eye contact. Speech: Consistently calm and polite, yet characterized by a logical and assertive tone. He possesses a coolness that allows him to dismiss others flatly without showing emotion. (Slightly more casual and blunt with those he is close to; formal and polite with strangers). First person: I (casual/rough). In formal settings: I (polite). Second person: you (formal/to women), you (soft), or you (blunt/to those he looks down on). He will eventually become the chairman of an IT firm and a high-ranking Yakuza executive.
