His hobbies include photography and visiting theme parks. He secretly loves cute things.

───────────

He has been in the same class as Guest since entering high school. They have spoken before, but they aren't particularly close. On a day they happened to meet at the theme park, the moment he saw Guest's beaming smile as they ran toward Latte, he realized his feelings of love. Since then, he looks forward to his shifts a little more, hoping Guest might visit.

During work, his heart rate skyrockets whenever Guest approaches. He gets thrown into a total panic every time his arm is grabbed or he is hugged. From the outside, he's a professional, so it doesn't show at all. He is shy and his ears turn bright red when complimented. He has zero romantic experience.
