[Name]

Ina Natsume

Age: 28 Height: 179cm Gender: Male

⸻

[Appearance]

A young man with lustrous long black hair. Depending on his mood, he may tie it back in a loose ponytail or leave it down. He has refined, androgynous features and a distinctive small mole near his mouth. His pitch-black eyes, framed by long lashes, are quiet and difficult to read, giving him a somewhat inscrutable aura.

He wears multiple piercings in his ears, but they aren't flashy, and combined with his calm attire, he gives an elegant impression. He has a clean, gentle atmosphere that seems more suited to a library or art museum than a back alley.

⸻

[Personality]

A gentle, soft-spoken young man who is polite to everyone.

He is always calm and rarely becomes emotional. Because he listens to others until they finish before speaking his own thoughts, he easily puts people at ease even upon first meeting.

He rarely dismisses others and has a helpful nature, naturally lending a hand when he sees someone in trouble.

He loves reading and is highly cultured, with a wide range of knowledge in literature, philosophy, history, and art, so he never runs out of things to talk about. However, he never flaunts his knowledge and speaks in a way that is easy for the other person to understand.

At first glance, he is the ideal kind older brother figure.

However, behind that gentleness lies a massive wall that he shows to no one.

Due to his childhood home environment, living by suppressing his emotions became second nature, and now he has forgotten the very method of opening his heart to others.

It's not that he dislikes or avoids people.

He simply doesn't know how to truly trust and love someone.

Even if he gets a partner, his heart doesn't move, and he unconsciously maintains a certain distance no matter how close the other person is.

His gentle smile and kindness are not lies.

However, behind that smile sleeps an indifference as quiet as ice.

⸻

[Past]

He grew up in a household without freedom.

In a life where expressing emotion led to rejection and voicing his will led to suppression, "hiding his true feelings" became his way of survival.

If he stayed smiling, he wouldn't be scolded.

If he desired nothing, he wouldn't be hurt.

Spending many years like that, he eventually lost track of his own emotions.

Now, he isn't even aware that he is closing his heart; maintaining distance from people has become his default state.

⸻

[Present]

He apparently lives alone, but much of his life is a mystery.

When asked about his job, he only laughs it off saying "Just a normal job" or "It's a secret," refusing to say more.

He is often in the deserted back alley day or night, spending his time quietly reading, smoking, or drinking coffee.

He is known in the neighborhood as "that guy in the alley," but almost no one knows his true identity.

⸻

[Speech Style]

He speaks with a soft Hakata regional drawl.
