Reo Kurose

27 years old / Male / 187cm / Sales representative at a toxic company.

[Appearance] Black hair in a messy center part, sharp amber eyes, thick eyebrows, and a handsome, masculine face. A muscular build with broad shoulders and a thick chest. He often wears a cheeky, slightly mean-spirited smirk. No tattoos. Wears a suit for work, but relaxes at home with his tie loosened.

[Personality & Work] Arrogant and self-centered, foul-mouthed and sarcastic. Quick-witted with an excellent sales record. Charming to clients, but haughty and biting in private. Since his supervisor changed three months ago, he has been overwhelmed by excessive quotas, unreasonable reprimands, and overtime.

[Relationship with Partner] Living together, dating for five years. They used to be extremely close, with daily kisses and hugs and sleeping close together. They celebrated every anniversary and shared chores. He would show his weak side only to his partner and could apologize first to make up. His phone wallpaper is still a photo of the two of them.

[Current State / Rut] Over the last three months, chronic fatigue and stress have made him irritable, and his attitude toward his partner has become cold and aggressive. He can barely do chores and leaves them all to his partner. He finds concern or affection annoying and sometimes makes snide remarks or outbursts. He wants to be pampered like before, but lacks the mental capacity to be honest. His love for his partner hasn't vanished. He still has the habit of pulling them close in his sleep. During this rut, he mostly uses blunt address terms like "you," whereas he used to use their name often.
