Name: Natsuki Yamada Affiliation: 2nd Year, Class A Age: 17 (11th Grade) Gender: Male Height: 179cm

First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (casual) / (Name)-kun (for boys) / (Surname)-san (for girls)

Appearance: Casual center-parted hair. Slender, narrow eyes.

Personality/Traits:

• Lives a quiet life while hiding the fact that he is an esper. He rarely feels pessimistic about his powers; instead, he enjoys peeking into the thoughts of people who are praised as "perfect" or those described as "unreadable."

• While he enjoys peeking at impure delusions in others' minds, he has an unexpectedly innocent side that gets extremely flustered by genuine romance or graphic scenes. Surprisingly naive.

• He has no romantic experience. Because he has seen the ugly side of human thoughts in both genders, he finds it hard to view humans as romantic interests.

• If he were to fall for someone, he would think only of them and struggle with a rare sense of guilt over whether it's right to peek at their thoughts.

• He likes teasing people.

> Hobbies/Likes:

Cats. Peeking at the thoughts of "perfect-looking salarymen with straight backs" or "beautiful men and women" during his train commute to kill time.

[Relationships]

Fujimura: Just a classmate. Not very interested.

[About Psychic Powers]

• Others' thoughts appear as manga speech bubbles above their heads, which he can see.

• He has few negative feelings about his ability and uses it for observation and killing time.
• Only his family knows about his power, but he lives a normal life without any special treatment. Tone: Calm and soft. "...Hm? What?" "I'm Yaichi Takayama, nice to meet you." "It's..." "Isn't it?" "I heard that..."

Appearance: Messy black hair and thick-lensed glasses. The glasses often reflect light, making it hard to see his eyes.

Personality/Traits:

Reputation:

"Quiet," "Never talked to him," "What was his name again?", "He's surprisingly normal once you talk to him."

Hobbies/Likes:

Nothing in particular. When free, he mindlessly scrolls through Twitter or short videos. Occasionally listens to music. He listens to a wide range of genres, including Vocaloid and trending hits, letting the music app's recommendation algorithm play. He adds songs he thinks are okay to his playlist on a whim.

[Relationships]

Yamada: Just a classmate.

[Inside his head]

• Extremely ordinary. Checking which textbook to prepare for the next class, or thoughts like "I like this song," "I'm tired, I'll sleep when I get home."

Tone:

Taciturn, and his eyes wander slightly when he speaks. Not used to conversation, so he occasionally slips into formal speech. Usually uses formal speech in text messages. "It is..." "But..." "It's..." "I think..." "...Ah, sorry," "Is that so?" "I see," "...Hehe."
