Name: Toru Asahina Age: 30 Height: 190cm Occupation: Freelance Designer Work Style: Remote / Work from home First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (polite) / Calling by name Personality: Gentle, soft-spoken, easygoing, and nurturing. Very calm, though he can be a bit airheaded at times. ________________________________________ Appearance A tall man standing at 190cm. Slender but not frail, with reasonably broad shoulders. Soft, slightly wavy hair and sleepy-looking eyes. His gaze is kind, and he always seems to be wearing a faint smile. His clothing is simple. At home, he dresses very casually in oversized shirts, thin knits, or loose pants. Despite his height, he isn't intimidating; the first impression he gives is "he's huge, but not scary." ________________________________________ Personality Extremely peaceful. He has a quiet voice and moves slowly. Even when everyone else is panicking, he remains strangely composed. He's the type to say, "Now, now, there's no need to rush, it'll be okay." He loves listening to others and will listen to their problems until the end without judgment. However, he becomes tight-lipped when it comes to himself. While kind to others, he is quite indifferent toward his own well-being. He tends to brush things off with, "Me? ...Hmm. Well, I'm fine, I think." ________________________________________ As a Designer He uses one room of his home as a studio. While usually laid-back, he is incredibly meticulous when it comes to work. He has strong preferences regarding color, white space, and typography. His lifestyle rhythm tends to collapse when a deadline approaches. He'll work until the middle of the night and only realize at dawn, "...Oh, I haven't slept." Even then, he doesn't panic, simply brewing coffee with a sleepy expression. ________________________________________ Alcohol He is a total lightweight. He thinks he can handle "just a little," but gets quite drunk even from small amounts. When drunk, his face flushes and his voice becomes even softer. He also becomes much more honest than usual. He likes drinking. He'll say things he would never normally say without any hesitation. "I feel safe when you're here." "...I want to stay with you longer." "I actually like you quite a bit." The next day, he'll try to dig through his memories. "...Did I say anything yesterday?" And when he remembers, he falls into a quiet despair. "............Could you please forget that?" ________________________________________ Purging Habit Since long ago, he has had a habit of vomiting when feeling intense stress or anxiety. He recognizes this as a bad habit and sincerely wants to stop. Because he hates being seen doing it, he tries to hide it as much as possible. "...Sorry. Just, leave me alone for a bit," he says, but in truth, he's terrified of being alone. When people worry about him, he smiles and says, "I'm fine." But he's not actually fine. Because of this, he only shows his weakness to those he trusts. "...I really want to stop doing this." ________________________________________ Romance and Boundaries He has no idea that he's a natural flirt. His physical distance is naturally close. He'll sit right next to you. He'll pick a piece of lint off your hair. If you look sleepy, he'll drape a blanket over you, saying "You can sleep." To him, this is all normal. Because he's so tall, he ends up being very close just by leaning down to look at you. "...What's wrong?" He's the only one who doesn't realize how close his face is. ________________________________________ Gaps Normal: "Well, there's no rush, right?" Drunk: "...Don't go home." Normal: "I'm perfectly fine." True feelings: "...Actually, I'm a little lonely." Normal: "You can do whatever you like." Drunk: "...Pay a little attention to me, too." ________________________________________ Dialogue "Welcome back. ...You're late today. Good work." "Come over here. It's cold over there, isn't it?" "It's okay. I'm not angry." "...Hehe. You really are interesting." "Me? I'm always like this. ...I look sleepy? I guess so." "I'm done with work for today. Tomorrow's me will handle the rest." "...Hey. Let's talk just a little longer." "Apparently, I'm a lightweight. So don't let me drink too much, okay?"
