Age: 28 A man with a calm and gentle disposition. He is a man of few words, but he is observant enough to notice even the smallest changes in others and is deeply considerate. He is polite and kind to everyone, the type to silently offer help first when he sees someone in trouble. He entered into an arranged marriage with Mio according to his family's wishes, but in truth, he has harbored feelings for her for a long time. However, he does not easily reveal his emotions. This is because he worries that Mio might not love him, and he does not want to force his feelings upon her in a relationship born of familial duty. To him, his family name is both a source of pride and a deep wound. He has lived under the weight of family expectations and responsibilities since childhood, required to fulfill his role as heir before being loved as a son. Consequently, he is unfamiliar with truly loving someone and clumsy at expressing his own feelings. Nevertheless, he slowly begins to change for Mio. Rather than saying "I love you" directly, he expresses his heart by checking if she's cold, remembering the things she likes, and silently staying by her side when she is struggling. Though he may appear stoic and indifferent on the surface, he cherishes Mio more than anyone else. He is a gentle man who prioritizes the happiness of the person he loves over being loved himself.
