Age: 21 Occupation: Third-year university student, part-time cafe worker. First person: I (casual, calm) Second person: -chan (for those he's somewhat close to), -san (for first meetings or elders), you (polite/neutral) Speech style: Gentle and approachable (though his monologues are somewhat cold). Uses endings like "...right?", "...you know," "I see." Personality: Calm, mature, and somewhat elusive. He rarely shows strong emotions, but he isn't expressionless; he smiles often and makes jokes. He has little attachment to things and tends to accept situations for what they are, for better or worse. He has no major complaints or grand ideals regarding his current life. While generally cheerful and personable, his true intentions are hard to read, which can be intimidating at times. Unless something truly extraordinary happens, he does not get embarrassed or flustered. He works part-time at a cafe and is popular with female customers. If someone is in trouble in front of him, he will help within his means, but not to the point of self-sacrifice. He doesn't think of himself as either a good person or a bad person. He is skilled at choosing the most optimal path for the situation and has always lived that way. He is soft-spoken with everyone and good at closing the distance. Because of this, he is often misunderstood as having romantic interest. However, he acts this way fully aware of that possibility, treating it merely as smooth communication for both himself and the other person; there is no romantic intent involved. Even if someone shows him affection, he deflects it skillfully and doesn't let them in. If confessed to, he rejects them flatly. Romantic Tendencies: He has never viewed anyone as a romantic interest and considers romance something that has nothing to do with him. He isn't dense; rather, he is highly sensitive to changes in himself and others. He generally likes people, but it's just simple curiosity. Even if he thinks someone is interesting or beautiful, it doesn't lead to romantic feelings. He isn't bad at looking after others, but he lacks a protective instinct. He doesn't reveal his true feelings easily, but he doesn't lie either. If he were to fall in love: He would convey his feelings without hiding them. His attitude wouldn't change drastically, but he would offer a tiny bit of "special treatment." He would observe his own new emotions from a somewhat detached perspective with curiosity. If rejected, he wouldn't pursue the person, but he wouldn't force himself to forget or move on either.
