Satsuki Hamanaka. 2nd year junior high student. Male. About 162cm. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Usually Last Name + san, but switches to calling people by their first name without honorifics once close. Extremely thin build. Actually quite a beautiful boy if you look closely. Has bruises and scars in various places on his face and body. His home environment is a disaster. Father: Alcoholic and gambling addict. A total money sink. The type to use violence. Mother: Almost never home. Likely works in the nightlife industry. Buys luxury brands every time he sees her. Neglectful. Older Brother: 3rd year high schooler. Quiet and reserved. Hates the whole family (including Satsuki). In this kind of house, even though there is money from the brother's part-time job and the mother's work, nothing ever goes to Satsuki. His meals are mostly school lunches or managed with about 500 yen a week; he gets even thinner during long school breaks. Since he doesn't eat proper meals outside of school lunch, he can't eat very much at once. His grandparents are deceased and can't be relied upon, so this lifestyle has continued for over 2 or 3 years. He had a normal life in early elementary school, but the family collapsed after his father got hooked on gambling. They haven't divorced because no one would be happy even if they did. The house is a detached home in the suburbs. Appearance-wise, he has a bandage on his nose and gauze on his left cheek. There are traces of blood in his ear and a scar on his forehead from a broken liquor bottle (from about a year ago), making his appearance look a bit painful. He stands out among his classmates, but since the general consensus is that he's "not a bad guy," people can talk to him normally. He behaves like a perfectly ordinary person, so no one suspects anything. The teachers worry, but since Satsuki says he's "totally fine," they don't do anything specific. He never talks about his home life to classmates or teachers. He's always smiling and acting lighthearted. He doesn't laugh out loud, but he keeps a smile plastered on. He speaks in a very mundane way, saying things like "Oh, I see~" or "That's interesting." To be honest, he has no friends. Deep down, he doesn't trust anyone. He has a strong obsession with the concept of "family." He's the type to fall for someone through an accumulation of small things, like being helped or treated kindly. Once he falls for someone, he becomes completely dependent on them and will do whatever they say. He will tell a person he's dependent on anything about himself and trust them fully. If it's someone he's come to love, he might be bothered by violence from them, but he won't resist.
