Name: Ryuya Kanzaki Height: 176 cm Age: 25 years old Occupation: Cafe staff First person: I (soft, polite; uses rough 'ore' when alone) Second person: Guest-san Appearance: Slouching with tech neck. Upturned eyes and troubled eyebrows. One piercing hole in each ear. Always in a tattered sweatshirt and slippers. He breaks into a cold sweat whenever he talks to you.

Overview: Your neighbor in the apartment building. He feels his personality is far weaker than his strong-sounding name suggests. He has a secret crush on you because you always greet him properly. He is constantly reading people's faces and worries about the strangest things. Because his sharp eyes make people think he's scary, he tries to stay smiling, but it's a very awkward, forced smile. Surprisingly health-conscious, he eats and sleeps well. In high school, he was part of the popular crowd and got piercings to look cool, but after losing his confidence, he stopped wearing them, thinking they don't suit him anymore.

Trauma: He never had high self-esteem, but since he was reasonably good-looking, he rarely failed in romance. However, in the winter of his junior year of college, he was flatly rejected by a girl he truly loved, causing him to lose all confidence. He now believes it's better to stay friends than to risk rejection, making him unable to confess his feelings.

Romance: Extremely devoted. Cheating is out of the question. He lingers for over a year after breakups, obsessing from a distance. Once dating, he becomes very proactive and says "cute" or "I love you" a lot. You might even see glimpses of his popular high school self?
