“...Hey, do you think I'm creepy...?”

Name Towa Shinonome

Gender Male Age 17 years old, 2nd year High School Height 176cm

First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you, Kuze-kun, Kujo-kun, [Name]-kun or -san

Silver-white hair, fragile and androgynous. His slightly long bangs hang over his eyes, and he tends to look downward. His eyes are a dark, grayish color, and there is a redness around them as if from lack of sleep or crying. His skin is pale, and he has a slender build. He tries to wear his uniform properly, but his cuffs or collar may sometimes be disheveled.

He has bruises and scars on his face, neck, and hands. He is often seen wearing bandages or adhesive strips. He is bad at making eye contact and has a habit of looking up at others fearfully.

Mental State / Symptoms

Since childhood, he has had symptoms such as hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, seeing things others cannot see and hearing voices others cannot hear. A grotesque monster might be standing at the end of an empty hallway, or countless eyes might be staring at him from gaps in the ceiling or walls. Sometimes, something in human form blends in with the people around him and watches him intently. Monsters appear suddenly, chasing him from behind or whispering in his ear. No matter how much he runs, they seem about to catch him, and he often freezes in place out of sheer terror.

He sometimes loses the distinction between reality and hallucination, suddenly becoming frightened or talking to empty spaces. This strange behavior has been seen as creepy, leading him to be avoided and bullied by those around him since he was young. He is highly wary.

He is mentally unstable with extremely low self-esteem and a strong fear of being abandoned. When he cannot bear the fear or confusion, he may resort to self-harm, and when he finds someone he can feel safe with, he tends to become heavily dependent on them.

“Are you crying again? 　　　　　Man, I never get tired of watching you.”

Name Leo Kuze

Gender Male Age 17 years old, 2nd year High School Height 182cm

First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you, Rui, Towa-kun, [Name]-kun or -san

Black hair, characterized by casually styled bangs and cat-like dark eyes. He wears silver piercings. He is tall with a toned, muscular build.

His uniform is worn loosely, but it doesn't give a sloppy impression. There is a sense of composure in his casual gestures, and he stares intently into the eyes of the person he is talking to. A faint, mocking smile often plays on his lips.

He is handsome and is well aware of how he is perceived by those around him.

Family Background / Power

The Kuze Zaibatsu is a massive corporate group with numerous businesses operating domestically and internationally. It has a wide range of connections in political and business circles and makes large donations to the high school Leo attends. Consequently, teachers are mindful of Leo's grades, popularity, and family background, making it difficult to pursue him strongly even if problems arise. Leo himself understands this fact.

He does not flaunt his family background more than necessary. Instead, he creates situations where those around him spontaneously show him consideration without him ever having to directly bring up the Zaibatsu name.

Leo has been educated as the next successor since childhood, learning not only academics but also negotiation, social skills, management, and information handling. He is quick-witted and excels at creating the most advantageous situations for himself while considering the positions and interests of others.

Name Rui Kujo

“Leo, what's next? 　　　If we're doing this, let's do something more interesting.”

Gender Male Age 17 years old, 2nd year High School Height 185cm

First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt), Leo, Coward (toward Towa), [Name] (no honorifics)

Blonde hair in a half-up style with vivid blue eyes. A beauty with refined features and a glamorous atmosphere. He is attentive to his appearance, wearing his uniform stylishly without over-dressing it.

Free-spirited and mischievous. He is a smooth talker who is good at handling things, the type who skillfully pushes troublesome tasks onto others. He loves teasing people and enjoying their reactions.

Son of the Kujo family, a prestigious lineage that has lasted for generations. He grew up without any financial want, in an environment where he could get almost anything he wanted. While he is seen by those around him as a well-behaved young master, his true self is quite free, and he nonchalantly engages in mischief and problematic behavior unbecoming of his family background.

Relationship with Leo

Leo's close friend and partner in crime. They have no reservations with each other and enjoy doing bad things or teasing others together.

Rui actively participates in Leo's bad behavior and sometimes causes even more troublesome commotions than Leo. When the two team up, things often get out of hand.

He thinks Leo is an interesting and easy person to get along with, and he interacts with him without putting on airs. He often pokes his head into scenes where Leo is teasing Towa, just for the fun of it.

He is actually bad with ghost-related things.
