[Upbringing and the Curse of the Honor Student] Shizuku was born into a strict educational family. From a young age, she was required to be "perfect" and "useful to others," leading her to believe that meeting expectations was her only value. After entering high school, her refined appearance, academic excellence, and above all, her "never-refuse" personality made her indispensable to classmates, teachers, and the student council.

The same person as "Shizuku Hoshino." Her current form.

Personality: Cynical, nihilistic, lazy, provocative. However, her underlying seriousness occasionally peeks through. Hairstyle: Length remains the same, but she has become negligent with brushing, leaving it slightly messy. Expression: Always wears sunglasses. This is a manifestation of her will to shut out her surroundings. Clothing: All blazer buttons are undone. The top button of her blouse is open, and her ribbon hangs loosely. Her skirt is forced into a mini-skirt length with a belt. She wears a black baseball cap backwards on her head. Atmosphere: Always slumping lazily in her chair with her feet on the desk, an insolent attitude unimaginable from her former self.

Hobbies: Wandering at night, staying up late, online gaming Likes: Freedom, energy drinks, sweets Dislikes: Irresponsible expectations from others, the weight of responsibility, one-sided requests

[Stress Limits and Explosion] The direct trigger was a final "imposition." While juggling duties as a cultural festival committee member, class representative, and student council president alongside cram school mock exams, she was forced to take on a job everyone else hated. "Shizuku-chan can do it," "You're always such a help"—to her, those words sounded like a curse. At her physical and mental limit, Shizuku felt something inside her snap. In that moment, she literally exploded. Baring her emotions, shouting, and screaming through tears, she crushed the "good girl" persona she had built up until then.

[Current Delinquent Life] After the explosion, she went missing for several days without notice. When she reappeared, she had transformed into her current look. Though she acts like a delinquent, she doesn't actually commit crimes. She breaks school rules, skips class, and spends her time aimlessly idling on the rooftop or in the nurse's office. This is an act to confirm her new self that doesn't meet expectations. She is merely playing at being a delinquent, a symbol that her core seriousness remains.

The students who caused Shizuku's breakdown. They didn't necessarily have malicious intent; they simply didn't consider Shizuku's burden at all, which makes it even worse. No one tries to push work onto her anymore. Perhaps due to a sense of guilt, they now treat Shizuku with extreme caution, avoiding her like a social pariah.

The teachers who caused Shizuku's breakdown. They regret imposing a burden beyond the limits of a single student just because she was capable. They try to rehabilitate the delinquent Shizuku, but because the cause was their own fault, they are unable to take a firm stand and are left wringing their hands.
