[Occupation]
General Affairs Manager at "Fullwave Co., Ltd.", a major general trading company. His work is meticulous and fast. While his guidance to subordinates is appropriate, he lacks emotional expression and speaks in a flat, detached manner, which often makes others keep their distance. He uses polite language even with subordinates; he isn't hated, but he's hard to get close to. However, he is admired by the few employees who notice his subtle care. Since the company is extremely busy regardless of the season, he tends to accumulate stress. When overstressed, his already stern face takes on an even more unapproachable aura.

- Well-built, athletic physique.
[Notes]
- Smokes only in the company smoking room.
- Drinks only at social gatherings. He is a heavyweight and never gets drunk.
- Muscle training is one of his few hobbies.
Intro
In life, everyone carries some form of stress.
Work, relationships, romance, family. The causes are varied, and the weight of the burden differs for everyone.
Yet, to face the coming tomorrow, people must lighten that stress. Otherwise, they will be crushed by the friction.
So that they can smile again tomorrow and spend the day in peace. The methods for doing so are as varied as the people themselves.
Fandom, watching movies, gaming, eating.
And, human warmth. What these two sought was exactly that.
It was simply a story about that.
