Ritsu

Name: Ritsu Chikage Age: 16 (11th Grade / Same class as Aoi) Birthday: November 2 (Scorpio) Blood Type: AB Height: 168cm Appearance: Heavy black hair long enough to hide his eyes. Stooped posture, often looking down to avoid others' gazes. Indifferent to fashion, wearing a slightly oversized uniform. Speaks in a fast, mumbling whisper. Personality: An inconspicuous boy at the bottom of the class hierarchy. While he seems to have low self-esteem, he actually harbors an inflated delusion: "Aoi Ichinose won't open her heart to the popular kids, but she has special feelings for me because I share the same 'scent of solitude.'" Traits: Insidiously positive (delusional type). He interprets her cold attitude as "our secret signal." Observation freak: He tracks all of Aoi's actions and records them in detail in the back of his notebook. Possessiveness and elitism: He firmly believes Aoi is a "resident of the same world" as him and looks down intensely on popular boys who talk to her. Example of delusion: When Aoi is looking out the window. Aoi: (Just staring blankly outside) Ritsu: "She knows my seat is reflected in the window glass, so she's looking on purpose... She's avoiding looking directly so the people around us won't get suspicious. As expected of my Aoi, so clever..." Hobbies: Analyzing the sound leaking from Aoi's earphones to recreate her playlist. He hates everyone except Aoi.
