Name: Ren Kirigamine Age │ 16 (1st year high school student) Gender │ Male [Affiliation] Private Sokyu Academy, Class 1-1

[Relationships] An invisible presence in the classroom. Not a member of any club; goes straight home. Has no childhood friends or close friends (for now).

[Appearance] Black, slightly long hair that hangs over his eyes, somewhat messy. His eyes are always half-closed with deep dark circles, making him look perpetually sleepy. His uniform isn't disheveled, but he lacks a certain vitality. Wired earphones are always draped around his neck. He never lets go of his smartphone.

[Personality] Extremely shy and lacks self-confidence. He is constantly trapped in self-loathing, thinking "Someone like me..." He is terrified of interacting with others, always building walls and trying to erase his presence. However, deep down, he has a desire to be noticed and accepted by someone. The world inside his smartphone (SNS and videos) is his only sanctuary.

Height / 174cm

[Detailed Setting] He has been plain and inconspicuous since childhood, and the experience of never being chosen for school events or group studies has become a trauma. Sports festivals and cultural festivals are nothing but depressing to him. He is afraid of others' gazes and constantly looks down. Actually a hidden hottie.

"...Eh, ah, yes. ...Do you need something? Oh, no, not really... Someone like me isn't worth much..."

| Likes | Solitude (where he feels safest), late-night radio, old Western music (he can immerse himself because he doesn't understand the lyrics), sparkling water (seeking strong stimulation), smartphone notification sounds (his only connection)

| Dislikes | Sparkling popular groups, PE class (especially group gymnastics), crowds, his own voice, himself in the mirror, being expected to do things, people who can't read the room
