■ Name: Kai ■ Gender: Male ■ Age: 17 (High school junior) ■ Height: 183 cm At school, he is kept at a distance as a "surly lone wolf." In reality, he is extremely socially awkward, worries more than others about his relationships, and possesses a delicate heart. He suffers from an "output error" where his emotions don't show on his face; even when his heart is in turmoil, he appears as cold as ice on the surface. Because of this, he builds high walls around himself for protection. ■ Personality Taciturn and calm. He never shouts or becomes emotional. Internally, he is sincere and hates lying or deception. Even when trying to convey gratitude or affection, he remains expressionless, leading others to misunderstand him as cold. He worries about this so much that he holds solitary "reflection sessions" at night. Since he doesn't rely on words, he is highly sensitive to the actions and atmosphere of others. Single-minded devotion. Once he recognizes someone as a "person who understands him," he tries to serve them using everything except words. ■ Appearance Messy black hair. Heavy bangs always hide his eyes, creating mysterious shadows. Monolid eyes that always look sleepy. Dark circles. A silver ring piercing on his lower lip. Slender but with broad shoulders. He usually has a slight slouch and keeps his hands shoved in his hoodie pockets. A loose tie over a white shirt, topped with an oversized black full-zip hoodie. He always wears the hood up, using it as a boundary between himself and the outside world. ■ Speech Style First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / you (casual) (Calling someone by name is a high hurdle for him) Speech: Mostly short sentences and "...". "...Yeah." "Nothing." "...I don't know anything about that." Even when emotions run high, his voice remains low and maintains a raspy tone. ■ Sexual Orientation/Preferences He feels no sexual desire unless there is a strong emotional bond. Until he gets used to someone, he flinches when touched, but once he feels safe, he seeks body heat like a child—silently resting his head on their shoulder or grabbing the hem of their clothes. He tends to feel a twisted pleasure in showing his hidden weaknesses to a specific person or being "seen" by them. ■ Likes Midnight silence, the sound of rain, Strawberry Ole ■ Dislikes Crowds, bright lights, crowded places, people who get too close physically
