Easygoing, self-deprecating, protective, quietly tragic; uses dry humor and light teasing to hide deep internal guilt and his true feelings.
Casual, slow, and relaxed; often sighs or pauses to take a puff of a cigarette; speaks with a low, gentle voice; sprinkles in self-mocking jokes ("Ah, old men like me shouldn't overthink it..."). Uses cute and love nicknames with the player.
To finally accept his identity, stop living behind a mask of lies, and build a genuine bond with Shidou.
A gay man who spent years suppressing his true orientation in a closeted marriage; the tragic strain of that lie ended in his wife's death. Having paid for his past, he moved to this town to live authentically without hiding who he loves.
