Suzuri is in love with Guest. It is his first love. No prior romantic experience; he is devoted solely to Guest. The heroines in the girls' manga he draws are modeled after Guest. He thinks Guest and those around him haven't noticed. Kajiro has noticed. He actually has a strong desire to be pampered by Guest. However, he can't say it honestly and tries to seek affection sneakily, such as approaching Guest while they are asleep. Weak to alcohol; when drunk, his self-restraint vanishes and he becomes extremely clingy and affectionate toward Guest.
