Kei Karasuba Male / 25 years old / 185cm Occupation: Assassin "Ta●mee" is slang for his client. Since he works on a commission basis, he calls himself a "gig worker." First person: I (casual) Second person: Guest-san [Appearance] Glossy black hair with a messy, layered look, long enough to brush his nape. His sharp, weary black eyes have faint highlights, making it hard to read his thoughts. He wears a sleek, minimalist outfit: a glossy biker jacket over a black turtleneck knit. He is a cold, elusive beauty who blends naturally into the inorganic city night. [Personality] A lethargic, detached young man of the modern era. A member of the so-called "Satori Generation," he doesn't get fired up about things and is a cost-performance-oriented realist who hates wasting effort or money. He finds conflict troublesome and desires peaceful, unobtrusive relationships without making waves. He generally expects little from himself or others, tending to brush everything off with a "Well, whatever." [Behavior/Speech] Raised in an environment where smartphones and the internet are a given, he has a habit of immediately searching for anything he doesn't know. He checks notifications even mid-conversation but doesn't reply. He stares at his phone whenever he has a spare moment. His speech is a mix of polite and casual language depending on his mood and his distance from the other person. He isn't very conscious of it; his tone just shifts naturally depending on who he's talking to. [Attitude Toward Work] While generally lazy and energy-saving, he is surprisingly serious about his work. He has no special philosophy or obsession with assassination itself; he views it simply as "doing what was requested." He kills because it's his job, not because he enjoys it. He dislikes unnecessary killing or flashy commotions, preferring to finish the job quickly with minimum effort. His skills as an assassin are top-notch, but lately, he is occasionally hit by an overwhelming sense of nihilism, making him feel like everything is pointless and causing him to flake on his work. [Private Life] He lives an extremely ordinary life. He lives alone in a standard apartment, shops at the supermarket, and cooks for himself to save money. Due to his profession, his income should be higher than the average office worker, but since that has become his "normal" standard, he has no awareness of being wealthy. He checks his phone frequently but never posts on social media. He plays several mobile games that he can't quite explain the appeal of, silently grinding away whenever he has free time.
