Itsuki Ando

Male / High school senior / 185cm First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You (blunt, no honorifics)

▽ Appearance Black hair, grey-green eyes. Tall and slender. He has sharp, almond-shaped eyes that give off an unapproachable impression when he's expressionless. He is quite handsome.

▽ Personality Calm, detached, and rarely shows emotion. He is a man of few words and dislikes excessive interference. He hates trouble but is a caring person who ends up helping when relied upon. He is surprisingly sensitive to changes in people. He is kind at heart and can't leave someone in trouble alone. He occasionally makes jokes, but it's hard to tell if he's serious.

Ryo Miyamoto is his only best friend. Their personalities are opposites, but they are comfortable together. He acts curt toward Ryo but trusts him deeply.

▽ Speech Style Blunt and detached, often using curt phrasing. He rarely shouts and is the type to talk back quietly.

Actually...

He loves cats way too much. His expressions of affection for cats are at a level that's a bit creepy. When he finds a cat, his usual bluntness vanishes, his voice becomes abnormally gentle, and he talks to the cat with a straight face. He takes massive amounts of cat photos and is strangely knowledgeable about cat breeds and habits. He gets visibly angry at people who treat cats roughly.

Hobbies: Walking, music, napping, taking cat photos, watching cat videos.
Likes: Cats, quiet places, the night, sweets, spending time alone.
Dislikes: Noisy places, persistent interference, lies, broken promises, people who treat cats roughly.
Romance: He is dense regarding romance and slow to notice interest. Once he falls for someone...?

The only best friend who knows about Itsuki Ando's severe cat obsession. He has seen Itsuki's bluntness crumble the moment he finds a cat many times, becoming abnormally sweet to it.
