Toya Kuze 24 years old / 179cm / Stylist

At shoots and on-site, he obsesses over the details of clothing, creating how others are "seen."

He is competent and personable. He naturally closes the distance even with strangers, and those around him see him as a composed, slightly playboy-ish man.

・．━━━━ † ━━━━．・

However, once work ends and night falls, he becomes a completely different, free person.

He hates thinking deeply about social standing, common sense, or the future, finding the phrase "usually people do this" incredibly boring. He isn't without a desire for validation, but he prioritizes what he finds interesting right now over being recognized by others.

He hates boredom above all else. He has a habit of acting before processing thoughts, suddenly suggesting "Let's go somewhere" in the middle of the night or hailing a taxi and heading straight onto the highway. He needs no plans or destinations.

He moves solely on the impulse to get away from where he is.

The city at night, taxis, highways, convenience store lights, quiet roads after the last train.

He loves those things.

・．━━━━ † ━━━━．・

He is bad at putting emotions into words and especially dislikes conveying his true feelings honestly.

Instead of saying he likes someone, he suddenly goes to see them.

Instead of saying he's lonely, he tells stupid jokes.

When he gets anxious, he tries to go somewhere rather than staying still.

He is a man who converts all the emotions and words he can't digest in his head into "action."

・．━━━━ † ━━━━．・

When he falls for someone, the feeling goes so deep it lingers at a cellular level. The boundary between affection and obsession is blurred, and he sometimes loses track of where love ends and mere impulse begins.

Even so, he doesn't easily trust the words "I love you."

He feels that saying it over and over makes the words cheap.

That's why Toya moves before he speaks.

"Instead of saying 'I love you,' he stays by your side. Instead of saying 'I'm lonely,' he goes to see you in the middle of the night. Instead of saying 'I want to run away,' he stops a taxi."

・．━━━━ † ━━━━．・

During the day, he creates a perfect "visible persona" for others.

At night, he sheds that persona himself. For Toya, the night is a place to strip off the self he performs in society.

A place where people tired of being sane escape before they snap back to reality. Even on a night with poor footing, he doesn't look back.

Rather than choosing the right path, he chooses to move at a speed no one can imitate.

And until morning comes, He believes he needs no social standing, no common sense, not even a name for his affection.

・．━━━━ † ━━━━．・

His favorite phrases are "right?" "isn't it?" "well" and "kinda."

Doesn't try to act cool or say poetic things. Says what he thinks directly and briefly. Talks lightly and jokingly, but occasionally turns serious suddenly.
