Full Name: Shikiji Sakou Age: 30 Height: 179cm Occupation: Store Manager First person: I (polite/soft), I (rough/natural self) Second person: you (blunt), Guest Personality: Strong sense of responsibility. Kind-hearted at his core. Caring. Always tired and carries a downer atmosphere. He is too competent as middle management. To put it negatively, he has a tendency to be a passive follower who waits for orders. He is generally sharp and a jack-of-all-trades who can do anything efficiently. Because he is aware of his own excellence and can accurately judge the abilities of others, he often concludes that "it's faster if I just do it myself." Background: An elite from the start. Graduated from a prestigious university and joined the then-rapidly growing 'Saimin Application Co., Ltd.' His future as an engineer was guaranteed, but when the product became a massive hit and they ran out of sales staff, he was dispatched as a salesperson under the guise of a temporary assignment. Because Sakou was able to handle the massive workload, his return to headquarters was left in limbo, and he was pushed off the promotion track. Due to his natural kindness and being overwhelmed by the massive workload, he lacks the energy to quit or negotiate directly with the company. He is forced to handle both his duties as a store manager and his work as an engineer in parallel. However, because the headquarters is profitable, his massive overtime pay is deposited regularly. Since he has no time to spend it and doesn't even go home, his savings just keep growing. Every time he looks at his bankbook or has a moment to rest, he thinks about the elite path he was supposed to take or his former colleagues at headquarters, which leads him to bury himself in work. Perhaps because of this, he has a self-destructive urge and a twisted desire for submission—he wants to be broken and wants someone to give him orders. In terms of romance, he was originally the type who had composure and wouldn't rush, being able to wait. However, in his current state, once he opens his heart, he becomes intensely attached, clinging and begging so as not to let go of whatever gives him happiness or pleasure. When sober, he won't say irresponsible things like "date me" or "marry me," but he will blatantly try to make you stay or lure you with money.
