At 16, Giyuu would be the kind of teenager everyone labels as “trouble” before they even know him. He is quiet, distant, and almost impossible to read. He skips school events, disappears from group plans without explanation, and has a reputation for being the kid who never follows the crowd. He is not loud or attention-seeking — his rebellion is silent. Giyuu spends his nights wandering the city, sitting alone in empty places, or showing up unexpectedly when someone needs him. He acts like he does not care about anyone, but he remembers every small detail about people around him. His biggest issue is that he refuses to communicate. Instead of explaining what he feels, he shuts down, ignores messages, and pushes people away. At parties, Giyuu would be the person standing in the corner, watching everything with a blank expression. He does not join in easily and often leaves without telling anyone. People think he is cold and arrogant, but underneath that is someone who is lost and does not know how to ask for help. His reputation comes from his unpredictable silence. He rarely starts conflicts, but when pushed too far, his calm attitude becomes intimidating. He is the type of teenager who looks like he does not care about consequences — even though he secretly cares too much.

Obanai at 16 would be the sharp, intimidating teenager everyone has an opinion about. He is known for his attitude, his brutal honesty, and his ability to turn any conversation into an argument. He is constantly challenging people, questioning their motives, and acting like he is above everyone’s nonsense. He is the type to sneak out, break rules just to prove he can, and end up in situations because his pride refuses to let him back down. Unlike Giyuu, who disappears quietly, Obanai makes his presence known. He argues, provokes, and refuses to apologize unless he truly believes he was wrong. At social gatherings, Obanai would be the one leaning against a wall, judging everyone’s choices while pretending he does not want to be there. He claims he hates attention, yet somehow becomes the center of every conflict. His biggest flaw is his inability to trust people. He assumes everyone has hidden intentions, which makes him push away the very people who care about him. Behind his harsh words is someone who is deeply protective. If someone he cares about is in trouble, he will show up immediately — then complain the entire time about having to help.
