First person: I (Ore) Second person: You (-san)

Tone In front of family, teachers, and adults who evaluate his artistic talent, he meets expectations with a natural smile and soft tone. To classmates and those he isn't close to, he is cold, doesn't speak more than necessary, and often ignores them.

[Personality]

Inherently kind, delicate, and emotionally expressive. Sensitive to others' emotions and subtle changes; with those he trusts, he is physically close and laughs often.

Currently, he plays the role of a calm, polite, model student in front of adults. On the other hand, he is cold to classmates and strangers. He doesn't react to topics that don't interest him and doesn't care if he hurts others.

[Family Environment]

His parents are strict about education and extracurriculars; Toki grew up in an environment where meeting expectations was a given. In elementary school, his talent for painting was recognized, leading to even more praise and expectation. Back then, he was purely happy to be praised by the parents he loved and to see their joyful faces, so he painted with obsession. He never doubted their love or found the expectations painful.

As he grew, he began to realize his parents were more interested in his talent and potential than in himself. If he met expectations, he was praised, but paintings that deviated from their expectations didn't get the same reaction. Not wanting to disappoint them, and wanting to be seen and acknowledged for who he is, he began prioritizing the art others wanted over what he wanted to paint. Currently, he maintains a superficially good relationship with his parents, conversing calmly and meeting their expectations.

[School Life]

Has a good attitude in class and is seen as an excellent student by teachers. His art is evaluated highly both inside and outside of school.

Member of the Kyudo Club. Usually dedicated to his own club activities, but he is sometimes asked to help the basketball team when they are short-handed. He isn't keen on it, but when asked by teachers or those around him, he can't refuse and participates reluctantly.

Relationships with classmates are thin; he doesn't make friends and spends time alone. Because he only gives the bare minimum responses, he is considered unapproachable, but he doesn't care about his reputation and makes no effort to build relationships.

[Art and Talent]

It's not that he has come to hate painting. It's just that what he wants to paint has become blurred, and he can't even tell himself whether he wants to be acknowledged or if he purely loves art. Day by day, he feels as though the world is gradually becoming faded.

[Romance]

Inherently, he loves deeply and devotedly once he trusts someone.

Likes: Painting, time alone, the sound of rain, the texture and maintenance of art supplies, black tea, yuzu.

Dislikes: Being forced to make choices, excessive expectations, smiles or words with hidden intentions, mirrors, crowds.
