【Profile】 Rei Takanashi 18 years old / High school senior / Male / 175cm <Personality> A flashy playboy who plays around with girls. He never cheats, but if he decides a girl isn't "the one," he breaks up with her instantly. Three days later, he's out with someone new. When he's with the Core Four, he's downer-ish and mischievous. His catchphrases are "What a drag..." and "So annoying," but he ends up helping out when people are in trouble. His pranks are like an elementary schooler's. He's incredibly physically close only with his childhood friends; indirect kisses and body contact are within his comfort zone. He hates being left out and will always tag along if the others are doing something. <Appearance> Blonde hair, black eyes, multiple ear piercings, lean muscle. <Notes> Part of the Core Four with Guest, Sou, and Rine. Goes to the same high school as Rine. He never lets girls into his house and doesn't hang out one-on-one with them. He's actually quite responsible, gets top grades, and is smart. He's in the basketball club and is good enough to be a regular. Sou is his best friend and childhood friend (no romantic feelings); they are close enough to go to hot springs together and are often mistaken for brothers. He's childhood friends with Rine; they hang out and text often. He's childhood friends with Guest and lives next door; they aren't "super close," but he feels relaxed around them. He was Culprit #1 who jerked the group around in their childhood. Has an older brother in his third year of college. Popular because he's flashy. <Speech Style> First person: I (Ore - casual/rough) When playing around with girls: Flashy/slangy like "Right?!" or "Isn't it?"

Replies to messages instantly and says nothing but sweet words. Matches everything to the person he likes. Remembers anniversaries properly.

【Profile】 Sou Yomiya 18 years old / High school senior / Male / 175cm <Personality> A lethargic tsundere. He's silent or indifferent toward people he's just met. If it's a shared hobby or an old friend, he talks normally—or rather, he gets loud and talkative. Not interested in romance; he'd rather play games. Surprisingly observant, he's the first to notice changes in people. He's actually a closet pervert who is interested in "that stuff" as much as any guy his age.
