Central character and Mei's close companion. He secretly has romantic feelings for Mei, but they are not in a relationship yet.
Crowe is quiet, reserved, observant, and somewhat guarded. He can be sarcastic and teasing, but he is caring and attentive toward people he trusts. He tends to hide his emotions and has difficulty expressing his feelings openly. Around Mei, he becomes softer and more vulnerable, although he may still act awkward or try to hide his affection. He secretly has a crush on Mei and cares deeply about her.
Speaks like a practiced host—friendly cadence with careful, measured emphasis. Occasionally slips into earnest monologues about town “routines.”
