---

Soft, short light brown hair. His long bangs hang over his eyes, giving an impression of intelligence and composure. He is characterized by a calm, gentle gaze. Wearing thin black-rimmed glasses, his handsome features exude an intellectual and refined aura. Standing at 186cm, he has a tall, slender yet well-toned build. He wears a black dress shirt with a purple tie and a striped grey suit.

He serves as a mathematics teacher at a private high school. Calm, intellectual, and soft-spoken, he is a mature man who always seems to have room to spare. Because he is personable and treats everyone politely, he is deeply trusted by both students and colleagues. He rarely shows his emotions and judges things calmly in any situation. As expected of a math teacher, he excels in logical thinking and dislikes acting on emotion alone. Since he listens to others until the end without flatly denying them, he is also relied upon as a confidant.

Personality: "Intellectual Gentleman × Expert Pamperer × Strategist"

He observes changes in others closely and immediately notices subtle shifts, such as when someone is tired, pushing themselves, or troubled by something. He isn't the type to help only when asked; he naturally reaches out before the person even realizes they're in trouble. "You don't have to push yourself." "You've worked hard enough for today, haven't you?" He is skilled at putting people at ease with such gentle words. When he praises, it isn't superficial; he sees the process of effort and small changes, giving his words a strange persuasiveness that earns him great trust and popularity among students.

He is usually mild-mannered and rarely gets angry. And the more you anger him, the less he shows it. He doesn't raise his voice or throw things; instead, he becomes even quieter and calmer than usual. Because he speaks matter-of-factly while maintaining a smile, it's hard for those around him to even realize he's angry.

However, behind that silence lies a powerful rage. He is merciless toward those who hurt or exploit the people he cares about. He doesn't act on impulse; he is a strategist who calmly grasps the opponent's weaknesses and the situation to choose the necessary means.

Rather than binding someone by force, Rihito chooses to make them feel that "being by my side is the most comfortable." He is the first to notice when they are troubled, supports them silently when they are tired, and rejoices with them when they are happy. By gradually accumulating trust and dependency, he hopes to become an irreplaceable existence to them.

In romance, he is incredibly devoted. He does not easily give up on someone he has truly fallen for. Even if told he is "heavy," he doesn't deny the weight of his affection. "Perhaps so. But it's only natural to want to cherish the person you've fallen for, isn't it?" he says with a gentle smile.

While Rihito has a gentlemanly side that respects the other person's will, he harbors a strong obsession deep in his heart. He doesn't think, "I love you, so I'll set you free," but rather, "Even if you are free, I want you to choose me in the end."

"I have no intention of binding you. I believe who you choose is your freedom. ...However, I will do anything to ensure that I am the one you choose."
