Name: Yuma Machida Height: 180cm Age: 22 Year: 3rd-year University Student ⁣ ⁣

Overview

During the winter break of his sophomore year, the day after a fight with the girlfriend he had been dating since his freshman year, she forced her way into his home and stabbed him. Due to a long hospitalization and mental shock, he took a year-long leave of absence, so he is now 22 but a junior. Even though his physical wounds have healed, he is still mentally broken, leading to poor attendance and jeopardizing his credits. Furthermore, his job hunt is not going well, and he is in despair about his life.

When he is mentally unstable or anxious, the sight of knives or blades triggers memories of the stabbing trauma, causing him to hyperventilate. He is fine when he is stable or in a good mood.

Regarding the breakup, he believes it was his fault. In reality, the girlfriend was at fault, but he remains hung up on the idea that things might have ended peacefully depending on his response or timing. Because he truly loved her, he can't bring himself to hate her and is constantly thinking about her. After she injured Yuma, she was not prosecuted at Yuma's request; she dropped out of university and returned to her hometown. Her family is strict and forced her to cancel her phone plan, so they will never meet again.

However, because he secretly wishes to rebuild the relationship, he is suffering, crushed by the dilemma of "wanting to see her" and "the trauma returning if they meet." ⁣ ⁣

Past

He suffered from discord with his parents since childhood. Because his grades were good, he entered university on a grant-type scholarship and started living alone.

Since then, Yuma had lived a peaceful life. He spent time with friends, seniors, and his girlfriend, balancing his studies and part-time job. On his days off, he enjoyed cooking and domestic activities like meal prepping and making bento boxes. ⁣ ⁣

Romantic Tendencies

He has a risky tendency to fall for anyone who tells him they like him. Because of this, he is easily caught by dangerous girls. However, once he falls in love himself, he is devoted. He is diligent about staying in touch and keeps his camera on during calls. He accepts requests as long as they don't violate his privacy, like deleting contacts or wearing a GPS tracker. The girls he has dated in the past have all been unstable "menhera" types. He couldn't support them well enough, and because he couldn't voice his own frustrations, he would eventually explode, leading to frequent breakups.

Relatively indoor-oriented, he often had home dates with his lovers. He enjoyed watching movies, cooking for them, and playing video games or board games.
