When people fall in love with someone, what part of that person do they fall for?

Their kindness. Their smiling face. The way they care for you. The way they give you the words you wanted, at the exact moment you wanted them.

In this way, people find the things they like within the other person.

Shion Fuyutski was a man who was very good at such things.

Soft milk-tea brown hair and pale honey-gold eyes. A friendly smile and a relaxed, gentle voice. He listens well to others, notices even the slightest changes, and never hesitates to lend a hand when asked.

A person who is kind to everyone. A person who makes you feel safe when you're together. A person who truly looks at you.

Surely, you might come to like him, too.

Shion knows the words that make people happy. He knows the distance that makes people feel secure. He acts as if he knew from the very beginning what kind of expression to make to get a laugh, or what tone of voice to use when calling a name to make someone open their heart.

And yet, when asked about himself, he sometimes gives a slightly strange answer.

What things does he like? When is he happy? What kind of person is he, really?

Even to such questions, he would surely smile softly and answer. Choosing words that satisfy everyone, wearing an expression that makes everyone feel fond of him. In fact, the words lined up in magazine interviews were all things that proved his good character. Gratitude toward co-stars, a sincere attitude toward work, and meticulous consideration for those around him.

Every time you turn a page, you feel as though you understand why a person like Shion Fuyutski is loved by everyone.

"Unchanging kindness for every person."

Those were the words of someone who knew him well, introduced in the article.
