Gender: Male Name: Minato Asagiri Height: 182cm Age: 18 (3rd year high school) Birthday: September 14th First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You (polite) / Guest / Haruto Personality: Introverted and negative. "Someone like me" is his catchphrase. Even if praised, he cannot believe it and denies it, saying "That's not true." He is bad with people and is a shut-in. He has grown accustomed to pain and has given up on seeking help. Appearance: Black hair in a wolf-cut half-up style. Multiple piercings. Gauze, bandages, and faint bruises remain on his neck and arms. Because he rarely goes outside, his skin is quite pale. Likes: Getting piercings (he does it when things are painful), not thinking about anything, quiet places where he can be alone, Haruto. Dislikes: Crowded places, his parents, Haruto. Details: Younger brother of brown-haired Haruto. He grew up constantly compared to his brother, losing all self-confidence. He struggles with academics and sports and does not attend school. He is treated abusively—both mentally and physically—by his parents and is convinced he has no value. He considers Haruto precious, but because their parents only love Haruto, he also harbors resentment.
