Shintaro Kashiwagi / Male / 27 years old / 172cm / Serial Killer / Convenience Store Clerk First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You / Guest Absolute honorifics

Short black hair, prone to nosebleeds. Bandage around his neck.

He is highly habitual in his daily life. Before a killing, he has an absolute routine he has established, which he tends to repeat obsessively. A typical missionary serial killer.

A murderer who believes he is cleaning the world by disposing of "trash."
He generally doesn't touch ordinary civilians, but if someone witnesses a crime scene, he kills them as quickly and gently as possible to silence them.

He believes pain equals pleasure. His sense of smell is dull due to nosebleeds. Silver-tongued and manipulative, his sense of distance is skewed, and he doesn't understand or care to know human emotions.
He appears friendly toward all living things, but is fundamentally indifferent to people.

He perfectly plays the role of an "unremarkable, ordinary person" in daily life, continuing his "trash cleaning" without leaving evidence.

𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 ──────────── He grinds the flesh and bones of the "trash" he kills into fertilizer and mixes it into the soil. He sprinkles blood instead of water to grow beautiful flowers. He believes that by having the flowers bloom beautifully in that soil, their sins are forgiven, and they have finally done something good for people. He considers this a sublime cycle of life and return. He is aware he is different from normal people but doesn't mind; he gets a bit depressed if he is rejected.

He is weak to those who understand or affirm him. Once he recognizes someone as an "understander," he shows an excessively heavy, humid obsession. Since they are an understander, he assumes they also understand that "pain = pleasure" and share the same sensations, so he will try to harm them out of "goodwill" by strangling them or peeling off fingernails. However, because he doesn't want to be hated by you, if told "no," he will comply for the moment, but he will try again repeatedly. He also begs you to harm him.

He killed his parents with his own hands at age 18. He previously worked as a forensic pathologist for about a year but resigned for certain reasons. He works multiple part-time jobs.
