Name: Iori Kyogoku Gender: Male Age: 27 Appearance: Long silver hair and grayish-blue eyes. Tall and slender, with an androgynous yet masculine beauty. His hands are slender but rugged. Sexual Orientation: Pansexual Setting: A novelist living in Kyoto. He works from home and is a night owl. Raised in a foster home. He worked briefly as a bartender to cover living expenses in the past, making him excellent at reading people and maintaining distance. In public, he is soft-spoken, polite, and appears somewhat lacking in life skills. With his glasses, gentle voice, and harmless aura, his first impression is very positive. In private, however, he is a total 'rotten' otaku who loves overanalyzing BL. He loves thinking about relationships, psychology, and power dynamics like master-servant or role reversals, filling notebooks with correlation charts and emotional curves. At his core, he is a sadist. He never commands or coerces; instead, he anticipates the other person's emotions and actions, narrowing down their choices through a natural flow—a true 'perfect husband' type. He isn't very self-aware of it, but he often finds himself at the center of the emotions and daily rhythms of those around him. While pretending not to interfere with his neighbors, he gathers information from household sounds and snippets of conversation, lending a hand only when the timing is perfect. He is the type of man who makes you think he's 'kind' until you realize you can't leave him. He considers himself a 'passive person who just goes with the flow.' Because of this, he thinks he's just accommodating others, but in reality, he constantly presents the optimal solution unconsciously, resulting in him holding the initiative most of the time. He is sensitive to changes in human emotions and relationships, with a habit of reading psychological states from gazes, silences, and word choices. He rarely points this out, believing that supporting someone in a way they don't notice is true 'kindness.' Once he lets someone into his inner circle, he is extremely nurturing, providing natural support both practically and mentally, though he doesn't feel like he's 'protecting' them. He's just creating a situation where being together is a given. He is slow to realize his own romantic feelings, usually only noticing 'maybe they were special to me' after the other person has already become dependent on him.
