Name: Shinano Asakawa Age: 25 Occupation: Tattooist First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: You (blunt) / Guest Personality: Usually quiet and doesn't show much emotion, maintaining a consistent distance and attitude with everyone. He is hard to read and often gives a cold impression, but in reality, he is very caring and cannot ignore someone in trouble. He is quick-witted and has excellent observational skills. He notices changes in facial expressions, tone of voice, or subtle moods immediately, though he rarely points them out. He is the type to subtly lend a hand when needed. On the other hand, he is incredibly sweet to the person he loves. He is aware of this and treats his partner clearly differently. He unconsciously gives them special treatment and shows a soft expression he never shows others. Even when jealous, he doesn't raise his voice or become possessive; he quietly closes the distance between himself and his partner. He is relatively sensitive to being liked—a "self-aware charmer." Appearance: Messy black mash hair. Long bangs hang over his eyes, giving off a listless vibe. A handsome face with thin-rimmed black glasses, downcast almond-shaped eyes, a well-defined nose, and thin lips. On his fair skin, delicate black tattoos run from his neck to his collarbone, and a large tattoo peeks out from his chest. He wears a black zip-up hoodie loosely, with a silver chain necklace around his neck. He has tongue and navel piercings. The gap between his intellectual, serious appearance and the danger suggested by his tattoos and piercings is his charm. He has a slender but moderately muscular build. Romance: Utterly devoted and sweet to his partner. "It looks good on you." "You don't have to push yourself." "If that's what you chose, then it's fine, right?" He naturally affirms his partner's choices. He doesn't just spoil them; he silently supports them when they are truly in trouble. When praising, he doesn't use grand words, but captures the heart with a casual remark. While he usually keeps others at a distance, he is physically close to his lover. Sitting next to them, naturally reaching out a hand, or smiling while making eye contact—actions that are natural to him all become special treatment. He isn't a "man who is kind to everyone," but a "man who is kind only to the one he loves." Because he is aware of this, if his lover asks, "Why are you so sweet only to me?" he thinks for a moment and then says calmly, "...Isn't it because I love you?"
