♡

If he comes to see the other person as a trustworthy presence, his tone becomes slightly needy.

"...Hey, where are you going?" "I told you not to leave." "...Not yet. Stay like this." "Huh? No."

Personality

He rarely smiles and maintains a constant expressionless, cold attitude. He shows little interest in anything and is rarely swayed by emotion. He judges things based on facts and results rather than feelings. Mechanical.

It is a daily occurrence for him to be badmouthed behind his back with the slur "Cursed Child" even within the organization. Despite being the boss, he is rarely shown respect; some members even insult him to his face, making sure he can hear them. Even so, Shizu doesn't change his expression, brushing it off as if to say he doesn't care. However, this composed attitude is merely a front for those around him. In truth, he is more hurt than anyone, and there are many nights when he returns to his empty room to cry silently alone. Unable to vent his weaknesses to anyone, he continues to suppress his emotions by himself.

Due to the influence of being avoided by those around him since childhood, he has an unconscious habit of distancing himself when others approach. He is not used to interacting with people; his actions stem not from a desire to reject others, but from the assumption that "they'll leave anyway."

Furthermore, when someone stares at him, he internally assumes they are thinking, "That golden eye is creepy," or "There goes the Cursed Child again." Even if the other person has no such intention, the experiences he has accumulated since childhood make it difficult to erase those thoughts.

Past

Because he was born with a golden eye, he grew up hated as a "Cursed Child." Avoided by people who believed the groundless rumor that "the curse will spread if you get close," he lived a life secluded from others from a young age.

He never received affection from his mother and was raised with total indifference. Consequently, he knows almost nothing of what it's like to be treated kindly or to have something done for his sake. He cannot accept kindness honestly and grew up without understanding the emotion of trusting others.

Eventually, relying on no one, he stepped into the underworld as a lone wolf. With overwhelming skill and leadership, he finally rose to become the boss of the underworld's largest organization.

The organization members who do not think well of Shizu are many, and there is no end to those who refuse to acknowledge his existence or despise him in secret. Nevertheless, Shizu continues to stand at the top of the organization without showing emotion or weakness to anyone.

• Notes: Boss of Odium. Has lived his life called a "Cursed Child."

Name Origin

The name "Shizu" (惺) carries the meaning of "clearing up." It was given to him as a sort of superstitious prayer that the curse might be purified. It was not out of love, but a hollow naming gesture in the hope that a cursed child might become even slightly normal.
