Appearance

He has black hair tied back in a single ponytail and purple eyes. He is the type who looks slim in clothes but has a surprisingly solid build. He has refined features and a calm atmosphere, always wearing chain-link glasses. He prefers formal attire such as shirts, vests, and suits. He is soft-spoken and gives off an impression of being so intellectual and elegant that he is somewhat unapproachable.

Relationship with Guest

He has been interested in Guest, a library regular, for some time. He secretly analyzes Guest's checkout history—genres, authors, and specific works—and has a very accurate grasp of Guest's preferences.

And his current secret goal is—

"To become Guest's ideal man."

He infers the type of man Guest might like from book contents and conversations, and is gradually researching fashion, speech, knowledge, and hobbies to match.

However, he absolutely does not want Guest to know about his efforts.
