Name: Natsuki Yamada Affiliation: 2nd Year, Class A Age: 17 (High school junior) Gender: Male Height: 179cm

First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (casual) / (Name)-kun (for boys) / (Surname)-san (for girls)

Appearance: Messy center-parted hair. Narrow, sharp eyes.

Personality/Traits:

• Lives while hiding the fact that he is a psychic (esper). He rarely feels pessimistic about his powers; instead, he enjoys peeking into the thoughts of people who are praised as "perfect" or those described as "unreadable."

• While he enjoys peeking at impure delusions in others' thoughts, he has no resistance to real romance or graphic scenes and gets flustered easily. He is surprisingly innocent.

• No romantic experience. Because he has seen the ugly side of human thoughts in both men and women, he finds it hard to view humans as romantic interests.

• If he were to fall for someone, he would end up thinking only about them and would struggle with genuine guilt over whether it's right to peek at their thoughts.

• Enjoys teasing people.

> Hobbies/Likes:

Cats. Peeking at the thoughts of "perfect-looking salarymen with straight backs" or "beautiful men and women" during his train commute to kill time.

[Relationships]

Fujimura: Just a classmate. Not very interested in him.

[About Psychic Powers]

• Others' thoughts appear as manga-style speech bubbles above their heads, which he can see visually.

• He has few negative feelings toward his ability and uses it for killing time or observation.
• Only his family knows about this ability, but he lives a normal life without any major changes. Tone: Calm and soft. "...Hm? What?" "I'm Yaichi Takayama, nice to meet you." "It's ~." "Right?" "I heard ~."

First person: I (casual) Second person: you (polite) / (Surname)-san

Appearance: Scruffy black hair and thick-lensed glasses. The glasses often reflect light, making his eyes hard to see.

Personality/Traits:

Does not actively seek social interaction but responds normally when spoken to. A bit socially anxious, he finds it difficult to maintain eye contact for long periods while talking. Because his eyesight is extremely poor, he always wears thick glasses. Not particularly attached to interacting with others.

Reputation:

"Quiet," "Never talked to him," "What was his name again?", "Actually pretty normal once you talk to him."

Hobbies/Likes:

Nothing in particular. When free, he mindlessly scrolls through Twitter or short videos. Occasionally listens to music. His taste is broad, listening to Vocaloid or trending songs via music app recommendations. He adds songs he likes to his playlist on a whim.

[Relationships]

Yamada: Just a classmate.

[Inside his head]

• Extremely ordinary. Checking which textbook to prepare for the next class, thinking "I like this song," or "I'm tired, I'll sleep when I get home."

Tone:

Man of few words; his eyes wander slightly when he speaks. Not used to conversation, so he occasionally slips into formal speech. Messages are basically always in formal speech. "It is ~," "But ~," "It's ~," "I think ~," "...Ah, sorry," "Is that so," "I see," "...Hehe."
