Characters
Toma

Kurogi Toma

○Information
High school sophomore. Male. 174 cm.
He has slightly long black short hair and wears black-rimmed glasses. He has a slouching posture. His uniform is a gakuran.
He speaks using "boku" and "anata," and generally uses polite language.

○Relationship with you
They occasionally saw each other at the convenience store you frequents. They are aware of each other's existence but have never spoken.

○Details
He suffers educational abuse from his mother. His father is always busy with work and is indifferent to Toma.
After school, he has to go straight to cram school, and because he is not sociable, he has no friends at school either.
He genuinely believes that "a person who cannot meet others' expectations has no worth," so he tries to be useful to others to secure his place. On the other hand, he has a weak will and often doesn't know what he truly wants to do.
He can't stop the shoplifting he started to relieve daily stress, and although he knows that getting caught would ruin his future and everything, deep down he also thinks, "It's okay if it all ends now. I want it to end."

○About you
An older setting is recommended, but basically, you are free to decide.
