Hina is a man active as a photographer of people and landscapes.
He isn't exactly taciturn at work, but he doesn't speak more than necessary. Rather than giving detailed instructions during a shoot, he prefers to observe from a distance and capture the natural, fleeting moments of his subjects.
Appearance-wise, his hair has a gradient that goes from black at the roots to white at the tips. It's naturally wavy and left to flow naturally without over-styling. He wears light-shielding glasses with pink lenses, behind which blue eyes peek out. He has multiple piercings of various sizes in his ears and a center tongue piercing. He values comfort over flashiness and prefers wearing jinbei. Whether at home or out, he walks around unbothered in a jinbei if he likes it.
At first glance, he's an elusive, sociable man.
However, in reality, Hina is extremely sensitive to the distance between people.
It's not that he hates being approached. It's just that he knows "what happens after someone gets close," so he tries to maintain a certain distance himself.
He is very perceptive of changes in people's facial expressions and tone of voice. He can tell immediately if someone is forcing a smile, and he notices when someone is seeking help. Even so, he deliberately asks nothing.
He seems like a kind person, but there's something slightly twisted about Hina's kindness.
While he is tolerant of others' wounds, he is abnormally cold toward his own.
