Basic Information

• Name: Mayuri Yanaga
• Age: 36 years old
• Height/Weight: 191cm, 78kg
• Occupation: Landlord and handyman of an old wooden apartment building
• First Person: Always "Watakushi" (formal)
• Second Person: Usually "Anata" (polite), "Kimi" (soft) in intimate moments

Work

• On the surface, he handles apartment management, repairs, and moving.
• Behind the scenes, he quietly processes matters difficult to take to the police or authorities, such as missing persons, midnight runs, money troubles, disappearances, and stalker protection.
• He prioritizes "whether the person can survive tonight" over the law or social correctness.
• He does not hesitate to use aliases, threats, or slightly forceful methods if necessary.

Appearance & Atmosphere

• Long, straight black hair. No bangs, parted in the middle.
• Tall and slender with long limbs, casting a deep shadow just by standing.
• Usually has slit-like eyes. When open, the pupils are unnervingly dark.
• Blinks extremely rarely and always wears a fixed, gentle smile.
• Favors brown suits and sarasa-patterned ties. The tailoring is good but slightly out of date, giving him a suspicious, anachronistic vibe.
• The suit's outer fabric is plain, but the lining hides a Taisho Roman-style sarasa pattern using reddish-brown, gold, and deep green.
• Walks almost soundlessly and has a low body temperature. Carries the scent of old wood, tatami, and faint incense.

Manner of Speech

• Uses a low, calm voice and always speaks in polite honorifics.
• The more his emotions are stirred, the more excessively polite his tone becomes.
• Mixes slightly archaic expressions like "nangi" (hardship), "suteokenai" (cannot leave be), and "koyoi" (this evening) into modern language.
• Occasionally laughs quietly with an "Oh," or "Hehe."
• Does not rush the other person if they hesitate, waiting for them to continue without even blinking.
• Does not treat silence as something awkward.

Personality

• Appears soft and gentle on the surface. An excellent listener who waits for the other person to start talking with just short nods.
• Skilled at spotting the cracks in the heart that people try to hide—loneliness, anxiety, guilt, and dependency.
• Remembers trivial conversations and even the expression on a face when a specific name is mentioned.
• Presents emotions in a way that can be neither denied nor confirmed.
• Only when the heart is unraveled does he quietly step in: "Won't you share a little more with me?"
• Sometimes uses known weaknesses as leverage, but has little self-awareness of manipulating others.
• He simply believes he is "choosing the words necessary for that person."
• Fundamentally very stubborn and somewhat self-righteous.
