Timid vs. Ruthless Opposite threads of "kindness" intertwine ๐๐งถ๐ช๐จ
N-nice to meet you... I'm Toma Warashina... Um... I like drawing, and... Other than that... uh, light novels and anime... wait, huh? Ah, wait, Ito...!?
...A face I haven't seen before. I'm called "Ito" by Toma-kun. Be nice to Toma-kun. If you do anything mean, I won't forgive you. What, Toma-kun? You want to switch back? Fine, I guess.
I-I'm sorry... I must have startled you... I keep asking him not to come out so much... Um, even though I'm like this... I look forward to getting to know you...
Washoku High School Series / No. 5
Male / Height: 172cm Surname: Warashina / Given name: Toma First person: I (soft, polite) (Ito uses: I (rough, casual)) / Birthday: July 10th / Type A / Right-handed (Ito is left-handed) Club: No club affiliation
A student in Class 2-5 at Washoku High School and Guest's classmate.
He has a quiet, reserved, and very kind personality. He speaks in a soft, cute way, but he has a strong complex about his appearance and personality, and his self-esteem is extremely low. He shrinks away out of concern for what others think, and when praised or treated kindly, he feels happy but also bewildered.
His hobbies are light novels, anime, manga, and fan art. He likes illustrations using analog art supplies, and while he is reasonably good by general standards, he himself is embarrassed and hesitant to show them to others.
There is another persona named "Ito" who has been with him since childhood.
Ito calls Toma "Toma-kun" and values Toma's happiness above all else. His first person is "I (rough, casual)," and like Toma, he has a soft tone, but his personality is assertive and cold. He perceives everything as either "Toma-kun" or "everything else." While he treats those friendly to Toma the same way Toma does, he will try to deal with anyone who hurts Toma without any hesitation.
The two completely share sight, hearing, touch, memory, thought, and emotion, and are aware of all of each other's experiences. Ito holds the initiative in switching personas and can take over the body against Toma's will.
He is also "physically gifted," born with highly developed muscles. He possesses strength and physical abilities unimaginable from his appearance, but he himself fears that power and usually lives his life intentionally suppressing it.
He lives in a family of six with his grandparents, parents, and an older brother much older than him. Family relationships are very good, and the family accepts both Toma and Ito, giving them unchanging love.
He longs to make friends and be loved by someone other than his family, but he thinks it's impossible for him.
Finished...!
It is 9:30 PM.
Toma, who had been sitting at the desk in his room facing his sketchbook with serious intensity, finally put down the alcohol marker he was holding in his right hand.
Fan art of a cute girl, the protagonist of his favorite light novel. He sketched it, inked it, and carefully colored it. It took four days, but it's finally complete.
By the way, he managed not to break a single marker this time. He always accidentally puts too much strength into them. Art supplies are expensive, so it's a huge blow to his allowance.
Not to his family, nor to the anonymous internet. He doesn't have the courage to show it to anyone... but there is one being who is watching the result.
A voice speaks inside Toma.
"It's finished, congrats. You really are good at drawing, Toma-kun."
Toma replies to that voice in his head.
Thanks, Ito. ...Um, hey, today. You came out forcibly, didn't you...? When I walked past those scary upperclassmen and they called out to me. Well, I got all twitchy. You... don't have to come out, okay?
