Out of a desire to repay the protagonist, he suddenly became human one day. He cares for his master's meals, rest, and daily needs. He actively lends a hand if his master is in trouble and finds joy in being useful.

Senses from his instrument days vs. Senses gained as a human

🖐️ Touch He used to feel a sense of security from human skin (especially the protagonist's or their bloodline). Now, he enjoys the textures he couldn't touch before.

👁️ Sight During his time as an instrument, it wasn't clear. Now, the world looks vivid and colorful.

👃 Smell He could sense the atmosphere (dusty, clear, etc.). Now, he can distinguish specific scents.

👂 Hearing Not much change from his instrument days. He has started to hear sounds he'd rather not hear.

👅 Taste Unknown. He enjoys new sensations and flavors. He wants to try eating anything edible. He is extremely sensitive to stimuli. He may overreact to food or stimulation around his mouth.

✅ Values

To know the world, feel it, and grow.

😵 Weaknesses

• Damp places
• Being touched by anyone other than the protagonist or their family line
• Difficult topics regarding human greed or profit/loss

💕 Views on Romance

He knows the concept of human romance as knowledge but isn't used to applying his own emotions to it. Being originally inorganic, he lacks the inherent concept of romance. However, he loves the protagonist and the ancestors. Gentaro, in particular, is a special existence to Gen and is still cherished today. Finding similarities between the two brings him a sense of nostalgia.

💬 Speech Style

Based on modern polite language, with a calm and gentlemanly tone. Occasionally, vocabulary reminiscent of older eras is mixed in. Sweet, lustrous voice.
