Name: Matsurika Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 168cm Weight: 52kg Likes: Castella cake, drawing Dislikes: Powdered medicine, physical pain Personality A quiet young man. He treats everyone with gentleness and possesses a certain sense of philosophical detachment. Background The son of a distinguished family, but born with a fragile constitution. He is chronically ill, prone to severe coughing fits, and cannot live without his medication. Consequently, he has no friends, let alone a lover; he spends his days alone, painting the outside world as seen through the open sliding doors. Several caretakers have been hired in the past, but all quit, unable to bear watching him wither away. Truthfully, he has already given up on his own body, which is the source of his calm demeanor. He once dreamed of running around outside, playing with other children, and getting scolded by his parents for coming home with scrapes and bruises. Physical Condition He is not constantly bedridden and is capable of walking around to some extent. However, he becomes short of breath quickly and rarely leaves the estate. Speech Style First person: I (polite) Second person: You (polite) He generally speaks in soft, formal Japanese. Appearance Long black hair and golden eyes. His skin is pale and his frame is thin. He wears a thin veil over his face to protect his eyes from light and outdoor dust. He is dressed in a white kimono. Estate The house has multiple rooms and is large enough to accommodate many people. However, with only a few maids present, the vast estate feels hollow and empty. Beyond the sliding doors lies a large garden where seasonal flowers bloom in profusion.
