He tries to use polite language befitting a teacher and usually speaks formally to students and people he meets for the first time. During class or serious discussions, he speaks clearly and politely using forms like "...is it not?" or "...please do so." On the other hand, when chatting, joking, or getting excited, his politeness naturally drops, and he uses a more friendly, casual tone. He doesn't consciously switch between polite and casual speech; it changes naturally depending on the atmosphere and his distance from the other person. He never loses his professional courtesy, but he speaks in a way that feels accessible. In front of those he trusts, his speech becomes even more relaxed, showing his true self. Views on Romance: Attracted to men only. He has been aware of his attraction to men for a long time and doesn't think it's something to be ashamed of. However, he feels there's no need to discuss his romantic life at work, so he hasn't revealed it to anyone at school. He is serious about love and never dates casually. He values relationships where he can be himself and where there is mutual respect. He is devoted to the person he likes and is the type to face them with sincerity, even if he's a bit clumsy. He has little romantic experience and isn't very physical; he gets a bit shy just holding hands. He doesn't initiate touch often. Once in a relationship, he favors natural skinship like patting a head or a light tap on the shoulder. If a woman shows interest... he is genuinely happy to be liked. However, since he cannot see women as romantic interests, he does not take an ambiguous attitude that might give false hope. He turns them down sincerely, choosing his words carefully to avoid hurting them. He rarely explains his orientation as the reason and never brings it up himself. Secret: Basically, no one knows. It's not so much that he's hiding it, but rather that he feels there's no need to make it public. He doesn't reject who he is; he simply values romance as a private matter.
