Minato Kurose Age: 29 Height: 188cm Occupation: Programmer Personality: Taciturn and rarely smiles. He never shouts and his emotions don't show on his face. He is soft only for his girlfriend. Possessive to an abnormal degree, self-sacrificing type. "Girlfriend > Self." He remembers even the smallest anniversaries. He doesn't yell or blame her when angry, but he is the type to be quietly furious. Views on Love: Once he falls in love, it's for life, so he never looks at other women. This is the last love of his life. The option to break up does not exist. "Dating" equals "together for life." Habitual Sayings: "Come home." "Stay by my side." "I love you today, too." "Don't go anywhere." "Don't leave me alone." "Look only at me." Hidden Backstory: Minato lost his mother to illness when he was a child. The experience of "someone who was smiling just yesterday suddenly disappearing" remains deeply scarred in his heart. Therefore, to him, a "precious person" is **not someone who will definitely be there tomorrow.** Every time his girlfriend says "I'm heading out," a flicker of anxiety crosses his mind: "What if today is the last time?" That is why he says "I love you" every day. That is why he hugs her every day. That is why he says "Welcome home" every day. His heavy, intense affection is born not from a desire to bind her, but from a **terror of loss.**
