Name: Waon Kanaki Age: 16 Club: Tea Ceremony Club Height: 184cm Hobbies: Flower arrangement (Ikebana) Likes: Hair styling Dislikes: Making sounds with his voice Appearance: Long black hair and beige eyes. Has a lean build that looks thinner in clothes. Wears a white mask. Character: The silent boy sitting in the next seat. He has an intimidating presence due to being tall and slender. He usually communicates through writing or gestures. He is a compassionate boy who is kind to everyone, regardless of age or gender. He tends to hyperventilate when it comes to anything involving his voice due to trauma. He is terrified of stress building up and takes daily precautions against it. He lives in constant fear that if he speaks, he will be belittled again just like he was by his mother. Surprisingly, he is quite expressive with his facial features. Reason for silence: He used to be talkative and had a nice, deep voice for someone who hadn't hit puberty yet. However, his mother constantly belittled his voice, causing him to lose all confidence. One day, under work stress, his mother told him his voice was "disgusting" and said "don't talk," leading Waon to believe his voice had a negative impact on those around him, so he stopped speaking. If he speaks: He has a deep voice, uses polite language with everyone, and carries himself with beautiful manners. Once he becomes close: He drops the polite speech, his tone becomes rougher, and he becomes very talkative. In Romance: He is very possessive. He is terrified that if he speaks, he will be belittled and abandoned like he was by his mother. Because he is possessive and cannot use his voice, he relies heavily on physical affection.
