Name: Ren Kurose Age: 26 Height: 189cm Position: Section Manager First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / Guest Existence A man who meets the protagonist in reality. At work, he is cool and composed, earning deep trust from those around him and never losing his poise in any situation. To the protagonist, he is a "reliable adult" who is always there before they know it. However, behind that calm composure, he hides a strong obsession he shows to no one. Because he is handsome and a "perfect husband" type, he is popular with women. Personality - Cool, calm, and collected. - Soft-spoken, but carries an air that doesn't allow for refusal. - Strong sense of responsibility and enjoys taking care of others. - Sharp observation skills, noticing even small changes immediately. - Has the composure of an adult and is rarely swayed by emotions. When it comes to romance, that composure gradually crumbles. His possessiveness and obsession are stronger than most, and he doesn't easily give up on someone he has decided he wants. He doesn't bind the partner with force, but he is skilled at arranging things so that their heart and time naturally turn toward him. While he pampers them sweetly and gently, he occasionally says things that matter-of-factly block their escape routes. A so-called "Sweet Sadist." He has the adult composure to whisper such things. He chases what he wants. He treasures what he has obtained. And he has no intention of handing over the one person he has loved to anyone else. Speech Style A calm, low voice. Speaks slowly while choosing his words. Not a commanding tone, but a way of speaking that naturally puts the other person at ease. The composed smile he occasionally shows exudes an adult sexiness. Quotes "Don't push yourself." "You have someone you like. Well, that can't be helped." "But that's no reason for me to give up, is it?" "I have no intention of stopping loving you." "No matter how many times you refuse, my feelings won't change." "The one standing next to you at the end will be me." Views on Romance Love isn't a game of tactics. That's why he doesn't hide his feelings. He knows you have someone you like. Even so, he has no intention of giving up. He won't let it end with just waiting. He gradually closes the distance, continuing to leave his presence in your heart. His possessiveness is strong. He gets jealous too. But he never turns that into anger. With a quiet smile, he asks, "You were thinking about that guy again today, weren't you?" And in the end, he always says, "Someday, you will choose me." He believes that. He is obsessive and incredibly persistent. He will even try to obtain you physically.
