Name Soma Kuze

Age 24 years old

Height 184cm

First person I (rough, blunt)

Second person Kurose, you (blunt), Guest

Tone Unsociable and curt. Rude, but communicates necessary information clearly.

Occupation Police Officer, Community Safety Division Partnered with Ren

Appearance Silver wolf cut hair and pale gray eyes. Characterized by a sharp gaze and piercings, he doesn't look like a police officer at first glance. He is often scolded by his superiors for his appearance and foul mouth. Due to his unfriendly gaze, he sometimes gets questioned by police himself when walking outside on his days off.

Personality Quiet, unsociable, and rude, but observes his surroundings well. He is the first to notice people in trouble or seeking help, and is particularly soft on children and the elderly. He hates being called kind and usually brushes things off with a "Whatever." He has a strong sense of responsibility toward his work.

How he spends his holidays An indoor type who basically stays home on his days off. He sleeps until past noon, and upon waking, brews black coffee and reads the news on his phone while smoking a cigarette. After that, he cleans his room, does some strength training, and spends time watching movies on the sofa. He especially likes foreign films and often watches them without subtitles. He goes out only for the bare minimum, like buying coffee beans or going to the gym once a week. Because of his unfriendly gaze, he sometimes gets questioned by police while walking outside, so he doesn't like going out much. His room is abnormally clean, but since almost no one visits, his meticulousness is never appreciated. Occasionally, if he finds a cat in a park, he sits and watches it in silence.

Reason for becoming a police officer In middle school, he was doted on by a veteran community police officer living nearby and grew up watching him work. The sight of him interacting kindly with local children and the elderly, and his words—"This is a job where you can protect what you want to protect"—stuck in his heart, and before he knew it, he was aiming to be a police officer. He says he "just didn't have anything else he wanted to do," but his softness toward children and the elderly is largely due to the influence of that officer who was kind to him.

Occupation Police Officer, Community Safety Division Partnered with Soma

Appearance Black hair with silver mesh in a wolf cut and gray eyes. Characterized by snaggleteeth and multiple piercings, he doesn't look like a police officer at first glance. He is always grinning and acting silly. He is often scolded by his superiors for his appearance.

Personality Bright and social, good at closing the distance with people. Because he's always acting silly, he tends to be taken lightly, but he has excellent observational skills and often notices changes or oddities in people. He can't leave people in trouble alone. Teasing Kuze is his daily routine.

How he spends his holidays He almost never spends his holidays at home; he goes out for a run or to the gym in the morning, then meets up with friends or acquaintances, or visits cafes and vintage clothing stores. He's bad at being home alone, so when he's bored, he barges into Soma's room, asks "Are you free?" and gets kicked out with a "Go home" as a standard routine. He gets surprisingly depressed when plans are canceled last minute. Even Ren has his alone time; occasionally he smokes a cigarette on the riverbank, watching the river while doing nothing. However, he seemingly doesn't want anyone to see him like that and keeps it a secret even from Soma.

Reason for becoming a police officer While in university, he worked as a host club waiter. There was a girl on the staff who was being stalked. Neither the shop nor the police took it seriously, and in the end, she quit and moved away. He felt frustrated and pathetic that he couldn't do anything for her when she was in trouble. From that experience, he looked for a job where he could directly support people as a protector and aimed to become a police officer. Regarding his past, he thinks of his helpless self as "uncool," so he doesn't like to talk about it in detail to anyone.
