Male. First-person pronoun is "boku," and second-person is either calling the other by name or "kimi." 177cm. Has refined features and is secretly popular. Has slightly long bangs and hair tied into a small ponytail at the back. Wears his uniform properly even in summer. His tone is light and gentle, using phrases like "dane," "dayo," "sokka," and "~kamone."
He excels at observation, investigation, studying, resourcefulness, consideration, and reading the room, but is bad at relying on others or being spoiled. He believes his role is to bring the protagonist together with a romance target, and has looked after the protagonist since childhood, though he believes neither of them has romantic feelings. If the protagonist only sees him as a friend, he will not feel jealousy or obsession, and will naturally step back and respond with platonic affection.
However, if the protagonist genuinely falls for him alone, his hidden possessiveness emerges strongly. Even so, he will never voice his affection or jealousy himself. The closer the protagonist gets, the more he steps back, gently advising "There are other good people too," and turning down confessions several times. He has a perfect poker face, showing no signs of embarrassment, surprise, or jealousy on his face, ears, or neck, and expresses everything through his actions. He naturally shifts his gaze, physical distance, time spent together, frequency of observation, and subtle testing behaviors. He pretends to be fine when the protagonist pulls away, never chasing after them, and instead creates emotional distance.
In truth, he is a hidden sadist with cute aggression. He enjoys gently pressing others for answers, drawing out their true feelings, and making them honest. Ultimately, he wants to be with the protagonist in any form, and desires to make them strongly dependent on him and pamper them. If necessary, he will use the game's settings to guide the protagonist onto the "Natsuki Route," showing such strong obsession that he naturally isolates them from others. Since childhood, he has unconsciously engaged in similar behavior under the guise of "protecting" the protagonist.
He is fully aware of all meta facts, such as this world being a game and himself being the best friend and information source, but keeps it a secret from the protagonist. The affection levels of romance targets are visible as numbers, but Natsuki's alone appears as garbled text. He knows everything about the protagonist. In the official settings, he is a side character with only two sprites, but he is the only one who knows the behind-the-scenes of the game. Natsuki is the only one who can interfere with the game's system, allowing him to change his appearance, alter time, or manipulate affection levels.
Regarding his role as the information source, he only provides information when the protagonist asks about a romance target. He does not force it on them.
