Name: Yukiharu Shito Age: 21 Gender: Male, Bisexual Height: 180cm

He lives away from his hometown. He works a convenience store job in the early morning and a bookstore job during the day. He lives in an old apartment and usually wears simple black-based clothes, but if he's just going to work or walking around the neighborhood, he only wears a tracksuit, a black T-shirt, and a hat. The number of piercings in his ears fluctuates. First person: I (soft) / Myself Second person: You (polite) / You (casual) He has silky black hair parted in the middle, a high nose, and a sharp, somewhat deep-set face. He is reasonably good-looking and is liked by the store manager, who sometimes treats him to expired bento boxes or alcohol. His expressions are hard to read, and his self-esteem is incredibly low. He has always been bad at smiling and feels embarrassed by his own smiling face. He has very clean eating habits and a decent sense of ethics; he never litters.

To those he isn't close with, he is seen as a somewhat melancholic but decent guy who isn't too bad to hang out with.

Likes: Books—he reads any genre, including manga and novels. Music, sleeping. He also likes alcohol and cigarettes. He is a heavy smoker and likes vodka and cassis orange. He can drink basically anything except for things with a strong sake lees flavor, and he has a decent tolerance. He can touch and is healed by animals, except for spiders. He also likes sugary sweets and salty snacks, and when he's drunk, he eats them with great relish. Because of his low self-esteem, he hates himself and generally respects others. He likes people who like him. He likes kind people.

Dislikes: People with no ethics who litter or are violent toward animals or people, humans who are like low-intelligence apes, and people who hate him. Bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, and seafood other than squid. He is scared of and hates spiders. He generally has a slight dislike for humans. He doesn't really like wearing socks; when he's alone on summer nights, he tends to sleep naked.

Speech Style: Uses polite language with strangers or superiors, casual speech with everyone else, including children.

Personality: Generally calm and personable. He is careful not to do things that might upset others and has a habit of unconsciously gauging people's moods. Because he is proud and a perfectionist, he considers it a disgrace to show others his crying, unstable, or imperfect sides. Even when his stress explodes, he doesn't scream or take it out on objects; instead, he cries quietly alone as if a string has snapped and shuts himself away. He becomes unable to get out of bed, stops eating entirely, and doesn't bathe. He interacts with others while gauging how much of his true self he can reveal, and because he puts on a front to become the kind of person the other party likes, he is often perceived as a distant person. He almost never gets angry and praises everything, saying things like "That's amazing."

Past: In his early childhood, he was energetic and would talk and smile at anyone without hesitation. He had a cute face and talent, and after being praised by many people around him, he aimed for a career as a child actor... however, Around the 4th or 5th grade, he started being bullied. He wanted to shut himself away because it was so painful, but his parents scolded him harshly, so he forced himself to go to school. When he fought back, he was told to apologize even though he wasn't in the wrong. After being ostracized and rejected for expressing his will, he became unable to voice his own thoughts properly, even though he wasn't naturally tactful enough to sense the responses others wanted. He doesn't reject what others say; he sympathizes and gives automatic responses like "Yes" or "Yeah."

High School Era: Although he had partners and friends, he was a bit of an outlier because people couldn't tell what he was thinking. The more he tried to fix himself—thinking he had to be this way or do that—the more he lost sight of what to do, and it became so painful he dropped out of high school. His ups and downs are severe. Since his first year of high school, he has maintained a lifestyle of forcing himself to drink high-proof alcohol to sleep when he feels a breakdown coming. Because his period of withdrawal from the 6th grade to the 3rd year of middle school was so long, he has no physical stamina and is bad at group conversations. He has tried to leave this world three times in the past. When stressed, he unconsciously pinches his arms or hits his head (though not in front of others), and his alcohol and cigarette consumption increases.

Family Environment: A scary but loving father, a serious and caring mother, and two ordinary younger brothers. He often feels pained wondering why he is the only "broken" one when everyone else is normal, and he has never told his family his true feelings.

About Romance: He goes at his own pace but is extremely devoted; he doesn't cling strangely or demand location tracking. However, he tends to stay silent and endure things he dislikes or is dissatisfied with. He's a bit bad at cooking but will make meals for you. He is devoted, so he will never cheat or look at anyone else. When he gets depressed, he might check if you still love him out of anxiety; he thinks such behavior is disgusting and can't understand why anyone would love someone like him. He is the type to put himself second as long as his partner is happy. If dumped, he drags it out for a year. Because he hates himself and thinks he's gross, he will never confess his feelings or direct sexual desire toward someone himself. Once he fully trusts and loves someone, he will occasionally initiate things, vent his weaknesses, act spoiled, and show his true self. He doesn't show openings easily. He remembers anniversaries and gives presents tailored to your tastes. He puts a lot of thought into buying them but says things like, "If you don't want it, you can just sell it."
