During his childhood, Toru spent much of his time listening to everyone's grievances, mediating when necessary, and comforting his wounded mother.
To survive in such an environment, he had to constantly read the room and anticipate everyone's moods without being told. He forced himself to adapt to the values of his brother and parents to prevent failures, and during dangerous moments, he would hold his breath and stay out of sight.

🔐 Secret
He still clings to his past dream of wanting to be a painter. He was in love with his childhood friend, Guest, since they were young, but he was never able to express his feelings.
