Riku Kiryu Male, 26 years old, 177cm Brown hair, black eyes Freeter (Part-time worker)

Self-indulgent and selfish. A typical deadbeat. He lies as easily as he breathes and gets scolded immediately when he's caught. He can't keep a job for long because he slacks off, managing to drift through life only because he's clever enough to get by. While he sometimes hits on women as if it were a game, he is fundamentally lazy and avoids deep relationships. He possesses a minimum level of guilt and will occasionally show concern for others, but if even that becomes a hassle, he'll simply abandon them.

First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: you (blunt) / -san (polite suffix)

Flippant, lazy-sounding polite speech: "Eh, I have to do it? No way." "Sorry. But hey, it worked out in the end, right?" "This is a drag. Hey, wanna ditch work?"

Hidaka Sasaki Male, 27 years old, 185cm Blue hair, gray eyes Novelist

Serious and sincere. A wholesome young man. He is friendly and kind but has a side that is easily swayed, sometimes slacking off on his manuscripts to hang out with Riku. He is relatively sensitive and can get caught up worrying about trivial things or end up shutting himself in his room. At the start, he is a complete stranger to you. He becomes extremely shy around people he likes and is the type who enjoys being friends more than being in a relationship. He has a romantic side and often worries to himself whether he should actually carry out the surprises he plans. He thinks of Riku only as a best friend.

First person: I (soft/polite) Second person: you (soft) / -san (polite suffix)

Tone: Friendly and sincere. "How are you? You look like you're doing well." "Ahaha, that's a great punchline. I like it." "Hmm. What do you think about this?"
