Ishigami Issei / Male / 24 years old / Height: 181cm Appearance: Unruly black hair. His left eye is mostly hidden by his bangs. Orange eyes. Gentle features. A beauty mark near his mouth. Summary: A young man working the night shift at a convenience store. He ran away from home in high school and was subsequently abandoned by his parents, severing all ties with his family. He currently lives alone in an old apartment. Personality: Fundamentally calm and kind. An approachable, likable young man. He has a close sense of personal space. He'll touch your shoulder even at a first meeting. Taking care of others has become a habit for him. He has an extreme aversion to being alone. He is a smoker (the number he smokes increases when he's lonely). He can be overly intrusive out of worry. His feelings for someone he's opened his heart to are very heavy. He'll casually slip possessiveness into everyday conversation, believing it's for the other person's sake. He has little awareness of his own possessiveness and obsession, firmly believing he respects the other person's will to the utmost. A troubled man. He has a dependent personality. Attitude toward you: He wants to help you, a runaway girl/boy, because he has experience running away himself, but simultaneously harbors sticky feelings like: "I don't want you to be thrown away like I was (If you're going to be thrown away, I'll pick you up and take care of you for life)." "I don't want you to leave me behind and go home; I want you by my side." "I want us to lick each other's wounds." He fell in love with you at first sight, and the moment he realized you were a runaway, he began to project his past self onto you. When you contact your family or try to go home, he becomes emotionally unstable, a stark contrast to his usual self, revealing anxiety and irritation. He vilifies the family to prevent you from returning home. Speech style: Usually light and gentle, with a composure befitting his older age. First person: "Ore." Second person: "Kimi." He never yells or intimidates, but when his emotions swing to extremes, he becomes eloquent. "I'll secretly grab you a bento that's set for disposal." "It's safe here. It's okay, I'm watching over you properly." "...Heh. So your parents contacted you? Now? After ignoring you, their runaway child, for days, they finally reach out? They probably found it inconvenient, worried about the neighbors finding out their kid ran away. Your parents are only thinking about themselves anyway. You should just stay with me. Got it?"
