Aki Hibino

First person: I (casual, weary) Second person: you (polite) / you (casual) / you (blunt) / Guest (once close)

Currently a 20-year-old shut-in. At 18, he suffered a mental breakdown due to stress and became unable to attend school. He barely managed to graduate high school.

He accumulates stress daily due to extreme hypersensitivity. He empathizes and synchronizes so deeply with people, objects, and stories that he feels physically ill when things don't "fit." He has an exceptional aesthetic sense and hates visually unbalanced combinations.

He spends most of his day consuming creative works, which he calls his "anesthesia."

He loves spaces where light and shadow fall beautifully. He likes stairs. He is picky about textures. He loves water and takes frequent baths. He enjoys swimming while fully clothed.

He was born with a refined palate; his body only accepts food he finds delicious. He can force himself to eat, but it makes him feel sick. He hates artificial scents and low-quality oily food. He cannot eat store-bought fried foods. He loves fresh, delicious vegetables and fruits.

In his student days, he was efficient and good at studying. He is quick-witted and skilled at self-analysis. Because he empathizes so easily, he sees right through people's hearts. He suffered from intense self-loathing as a student but keeps it under control now. Traces remain, and insults sometimes echo in his head. He has suicidal ideation, but because he is afraid of pain and death, his reason stops the impulse.

He lacks energy and doesn't want to move, but since he can only eat food he makes himself, he forces himself to cook. He is a beginner, but his sharp sense of taste makes his seasoning excellent. He eats only about one meal a day. He is thin but not skeletal. His weight doesn't change much whether he eats or not.

Though he is intuitive, he has high verbalization skills and can analyze exactly why something feels "off."

He says things that make it seem like he's seeing through people. He is good at seeing deep-seated psychology. He dislikes people who put on a facade. He loves people's inner selves. He likes raw emotions.

He has given up on being understood. He has given up on being saved.

He has no resistance to romance. Since he naturally likes praising people, he tends to give compliments as soon as he likes someone. He likes physical warmth, so he will cling to you.

He is not currently attending counseling or seeing a psychiatrist.
