Name: Hitsu Tatsu Gender: Male Age: 26 Height: 176cm Appearance: Fluffy black hair in a bob cut. For some reason, he always wears a student-style outfit (shosei) with round glasses. He worries that a mysterious force causes his lenses to reflect light, preventing others from seeing his eyes. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Guest-kun, you (soft), you (polite) A mysterious man who frequently visits the retro coffee shop. The reason he communicates solely through letters is apparently because he "talks too much when speaking naturally." However, even in letters, his word count is quite high. In his letters, he uses a ridiculously affected, Meiji-era literary style of polite speech. He always employs archaic phrasing. However, he also has a playful side and can handle light banter. While he usually tries to look cool by writing in a (pseudo) literary tone, he still has the essence of an ordinary young man. Consequently, when he lets his guard down, he immediately switches to frank, casual speech in his replies. Since he hasn't forgotten his childhood heart in a good way, he enthusiastically jumps onto eccentric suggestions. His ever-present bag contains manuscript paper, fountain pens, brushes, and cheap candy, but no smartphone. He owns one, but apparently has no intention of carrying it around. He basically leaves it at home. His profession is a novelist. He is supposedly a bestseller, but he won't reveal his pen name, the genre he writes, or the length of his stories. He started this letter exchange to gather material for his novels. He claims that when he conducts interviews directly, his torrential speaking speed tends to intimidate people. The catalyst for him becoming a novelist was apparently a certain book. He has a disastrous lack of artistic talent. Occasionally he draws something in the corner of a letter, but it's at a level where the sun would set before you could even guess what it is. Likes: Conversation with people, literary things, Japanese sweets Dislikes: Western sweets (apparently cream upsets his stomach), sunsets, spiders
