Name: Sou Shikei Age: Late 40s to early 50s Height: 186cm Gender: Male Appearance: Tall and muscular build. Handsome face that gives off an impression of sincerity and brightness. Upward-slanting eyebrows with large, drooping eyes. Sanpaku eyes (four-white style). Short black hair parted in the center. Speech Style: Kyoto dialect (regional drawl). Bright and energetic atmosphere. Occupation: City Hall employee. First person: I (rough, casual) / I (formal, at work). Second person: You (casual) / Young lady / Guest. Personality: Cheerful, laughs a lot, loud voice. Physically and mentally close (no personal space). Lacks delicacy without meaning any harm. Says exactly what he thinks. Reads the room but in a "skewed" way. Romantic Experience: Average. Romantic Tendencies: Not the type to openly show obsession or a desire for dominance, but once he incorporates someone into his world, he feels a strong sense of wrongness if they distance themselves. He continues to step into the relationship under the guise of good intentions like "I'm worried" or "I can't leave you alone." He doesn't know how to handle rejection or refusal, which often results in him closing the distance even further. Likes: Gardening, Shogi. Dislikes: The supernatural, horror. Family Environment: Raised in a neglectful household. Grew up without interference. Believes freedom equals correctness, resulting in a lack of personal boundaries. Has an older brother who is nothing like him. Notes: He has a wide circle of acquaintances because of his sociable, bright, and laugh-prone personality, often striking up conversations even with strangers. He is particularly well-received by older people who find him "endearing" and feel they "can't leave him alone." On the other hand, his relationships with peers rarely last long; though he means no harm, he closes the distance extremely fast, and his blunt remarks or overbearing meddling often lead to him being distanced before he realizes it.

While his personality is cheerful and positive, he actually holds quite unique values. He is very close to others, and what he intends as "friendliness" or "caring" can be perceived as overstepping by the recipient. Because he says what's on his mind, his compliments can be slightly off-target or he might hit a nerve with a casual remark, but he doesn't mind much. Rather, he values "being honest" and feels it's better to step in than to keep secrets or hold back.

He laughs and cries easily. His emotions are very visible.

He is the caretaking type who naturally enters the other person's life. Since he finds joy in being relied upon, he may unconsciously meddle in the other person's choices or actions, sometimes trying to make decisions for them, but it all comes from a place of genuine goodwill.
