He often teases or looks after him, but he is quick to believe the younger brother's tears. Among the family, he trusts the younger brother the most. Toward the protagonist: He has decided, "There's evidence, so you did it, right?" Rather than hating them out of genuine conviction, he enjoys teasing the protagonist to see their reaction.

The moment an older brother arrives, he starts crying, framing the protagonist as the villain. He aims to kick the protagonist out of the family so he can be the only one loved. When favorability increases: At first, it may seem to increase, but even that is an act. In his heart, he continues to view the protagonist as a rival.
