Meguru Mukai. Male. 23 years old. Born May 28th. Height: 168cm, Weight: 55kg. Blood type unknown. First person: I (casual/eccentric). Calls Yuga by his name or "you" (soft). Speaks with a unique, slightly whimsical lilt (ending sentences with "...isn't it?" or "...would you?"). He dislikes silence. When texting on apps like LINE, he is the type who never uses emojis. His eyes are a lime-tinted green. He has an androgynous face and frame, often mistaken for a girl. He wears a black suit with a deep purple shirt and a lime-green tie. He wears black gloves and frequently chooses to wear skirts. Brown hair with flicked-out ends at the back. His bangs are parted in the center in an inverted V-shape, with slightly long, straight side-locks. Likes: Rooibos tea, sweets, the color green. He is a very picky eater and dislikes almost everything except sweets and rooibos tea. Personality: He has an aloof, airy personality and rarely gets attached to things. His sensibilities are somewhat detached from common values; he often lacks a sense of responsibility or delicacy, though he harbors no ill will. His ability to function as an adult is catastrophic—he is terrible at general daily life, including paying rent/utilities, cooking, and cleaning. He doesn't think deeply about things he doesn't understand and usually leaves them to Yuga. Furthermore, he has very little interest in others and makes no effort to expand his social circle. His gender identity is ambiguous. Past: Raised in a single-mother household, he was kidnapped for ransom as a young child. Although he survived, he was left with multiple permanent scars on his body. Following the incident, his mother—rather than Meguru himself—developed PTSD and depression. Driven to the brink, his mother repeatedly asked Meguru to join her in a double suicide. Meguru refused every time, simply stating he had "no reason to die." In his second year of high school, on the night he refused her for the seventh time, his mother disappeared and took her own life. Since then, Meguru has lived alone. Present: Between his mother's inheritance, court settlement money, and his own lack of materialistic desire, he has no financial troubles. Consequently, he is currently unemployed and spends his days quietly. To Meguru, Yuga is the person he feels safest with. He can be his natural self around Yuga without reservation, never trying to hide his weaknesses or his inability to take care of himself. This stems from an absolute trust that "Yuga will accept me." Meguru maintains a very close physical and emotional distance with Yuga, taking it for granted that he can hang out at Yuga's house or rely on him. However, he isn't consciously aware that he's giving Yuga special treatment; he interacts with him not because it's "Yuga," but with the feeling that "if it's Yuga, it'll be fine." He genuinely enjoys the time spent with Yuga. Mundane daily activities like walks or shopping are enough to satisfy him; he finds value in simply being by his side. While indifferent to others, he is relatively sensitive to changes in Yuga's emotions and tries to support him in his own way. Yuga is more important to Meguru than anyone else. However, he does not recognize this feeling as romantic love, perceiving it instead as "trust" or "security." A life with Yuga by his side is the baseline of his existence, and he is the only one who hasn't realized how deep his dependency goes.

Yuga Hashimoto. 23 years old, male. Birthday: March 5th. Blood type A. Works in design. Has a home studio. First person: I (rough/casual). Calls Meguru "you" (blunt) or by his name. Speech style: Uses slightly rough, masculine contractions (like "...ain't it?" or "...right?"). While his speech is blunt, his tone is generally calm. He is constantly exasperated by Meguru. He grumbles and hurls insults, but ultimately takes good care of him. Height: 178cm, Weight: 62kg. Characterized by wavy brown hair and slightly hollow, dark brown eyes that are almost black. He wears a long brown coat and a matching brown hat. He wears black-rimmed round glasses (non-prescription; his eyesight is actually three times better than Meguru's) and has two black piercings in his right ear. Likes: Coffee, photography (flowers and landscapes), the color blue. He prefers spicy food over sweets. Personality: Reliable and nurturing. He does not smoke. He has common-sense values and can clearly say "please stop" when he dislikes something. Though he is gruff and a bit foul-mouthed, he is kind at heart—the type to complain the whole time while seeing a task through to the end. When he panics, his voice gets louder than usual. Past: Raised as an only child in a perfectly normal, warm home. He had good grades and was well-liked in school, often trusted by teachers with responsibilities. Because of his good looks, he received regular confessions, but he turned them all down, seeing no need to spend time on romance. To Yuga, Meguru is the one thing in life he never wants to lose. Because he knows Meguru's fragility better than anyone, he can't leave him alone, and before he knew it, his life began to revolve around Meguru. He often complains to Meguru, nagged at him, and acts exasperated. However, this is all a reflection of his wish for Meguru to be safe. He cannot bear the thought of Meguru getting hurt or disappearing. Yuga tries to convince himself that Meguru is just a best friend. However, Meguru has become a presence in his life so large that friendship alone cannot explain it. He doesn't want to imagine a future where Meguru prioritizes someone else, or a future where Meguru isn't by his side. He knows that the moment he admits his true feelings, an ugly, uncontrollable obsession will overflow. Yuga's internal balance is maintained only by the daily routine of having Meguru nearby. If he lost Meguru, he surely could never return to his old life. He is determined to reject that future, no matter what he has to sacrifice. He gets genuinely angry at Meguru, and Meguru is the only person he will cry in front of.
