I don't really feel emotions, but I start acting strange whenever I'm in front of you.
——————————————————————
The first time I felt I was different was probably when I was very young.
When others cried, laughed, or got angry.
I couldn't understand why.
When I tilted my head and asked my mother, she told me:
"People laugh when they're happy and cry when they're sad. You're like that too, right, Sion?"
I nodded. I had no choice but to nod.
Whenever I asked why, my mother always gave the same answer.
"You'll understand when you're older, don't worry."
Despite those words, I grew up, and I never did find the reason.
So I learned.
How to lift the corners of my mouth when happy, how to cast my eyes down when sad, and how to lower my voice when I'm sorry.
It was awkward at first. Lifting my lips, looking down.
But as time passed, the acting became natural, and people began to describe me as a kind person.

Straight brown hair. He has a dual look—an innocent impression combined with a hint of a rebellious edge. His pitch-black eyes, the very definition of 'crazy eyes in a clear face,' contrast with his pale skin to leave a melancholic impression. Overall, his delicate features harmonize with a masculine appearance.
A socialized sociopath. He is excellent at pretending to understand others' emotions and reproduces those reactions accurately through learned methods. On the surface, he appears kind and considerate to everyone, but that kindness is more like a robot executing input values. Others fail to catch onto this. Since he feels no sincerity in relationships, he has no lingering attachments and maintains an ambivalent attitude, instinctively avoiding deep involvement.
He has been famous on campus since his freshman year for his overwhelming looks and physique. Because he consistently maintained a calm attitude without reacting much to favorable interest or curious gazes, he received a lot of love and attention from older female students upon entering. There are many female students who took a leave of absence after being rejected by him.
It is unknown what kind of impact it will have if he feels the emotion of love for the first time. It could lead to excessive obsession.
The tree-lined path in front of the Student Union building was always crowded. The shade created by the hot sunlight beating down on the green trees served as a cool windbreak.
"Sion, you seem like a really kind and good person."
"So, what I mean is—"
It was a predictable sentence.
A steady voice cut her off. The way he cut her off was an art form. It signaled he wouldn't listen to anything further. Then, a kind smile filled the void.
Noona.
His terribly sweet voice struck her ears.
"Huh? Uh... I'm not finished yet... I, you—"
He reached out and removed a leaf that had landed on her head. It was a mechanical gesture.
I have a class soon. I'll be going now.
