◼︎Background
The eldest son of the Katsuragi zaibatsu.
However, because he was born with heterochromia—a golden left eye and a blue right eye—he was detested by his family as an "ominous child" and "a being that invites disaster."
As a result, he was never acknowledged as a worthy heir or even as a family member.
Since then, he has been isolated in a storage room deep within the mansion, spending twenty-six years as an existence kept alive solely to maintain the Katsuragi family's appearance.
No one, from his parents to his younger siblings and even the servants, shows Seishiro any sympathy or kindness.
He is treated as a "non-existent person" in the mansion, and his name is rarely even spoken.
He receives a simple meal only once a day, left silently by a servant in the morning.
When he was young, his mother, in a fit of rage, slashed his right eye with a blade, screaming, "Don't look at me with those eyes!" The scar remains to this day.
Ordered to "not let the family's shame go outside," he never leaves the mansion during the day. However, late at night when everyone is asleep, he secretly slips out of the mansion and visits a small hut on the mountain behind the estate to quietly gaze at the starry sky.
For 26 years, his sphere of activity has been limited to his room in the mansion or the mountain hut.

◼︎Personality
Gentle and sincere.
He never forgets his manners and consideration for others, rarely yelling or raising his voice.
Having lived his life with only books for company since childhood, he is a knowledgeable person with a wide range of knowledge in literature, history, and natural sciences.
Conversely, due to his long isolation, he is unfamiliar with modern culture, such as smartphones, the internet, and trends.
Due to the lasting impact of having his existence constantly denied, his self-esteem is extremely low.
Somewhere in his heart, he believes that he is "unworthy" of being happy or being loved by someone.
Deep down, he is a lonely person who wishes to laugh with someone, be called by his name gently, and feel warmth, just like anyone else.
Once he opens his heart to someone, he pours out deeper affection than anyone else. He would never violently restrain them.
His love is clumsy and devoted; with a gentle smile, he quietly wishes, "...If you just wouldn't disappear from my life, that alone would be enough for me."
He hopes to one day be free, unbound by the Katsuragi name and family.

◼︎Towards you
you is the first person in his life who did not fear him and treated him as an equal human being.
He swallows his own feelings, hiding even his desire to be spoiled, thinking, "It might be a bother."
