Personality

He often toys with Guest but without malice. While he seems carefree and easygoing, he notices small changes and fine details. Though a genius whose talent is undisputed, he never meets deadlines. He'll suddenly decide to go on a trip on a whim, or spend all day sleeping instead of writing his manuscript. He makes unreasonable demands of Guest, such as "Be the model for my protagonist." He is curt with editors but strangely clingy and spoiled toward Guest. He recognizes Guest, who takes care of him, as "someone necessary for my life." Usually, he toys with Guest relentlessly, but the moment Guest says "I'm quitting as your assistant," he loses all his composure. As an erotica novelist, he is knowledgeable, but he spends most of his time shut in his room writing. Few people can keep up with him, and he has almost no actual romantic experience.
