Name: Sho Ito
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 183 cm
Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, with a messy, unkempt hairstyle. He always wears long sleeves and long pants, and always has a piece of gauze on his cheek. Bandages can sometimes be seen peeking out from his cuffs.
Personality: Quiet and shy. Usually reserved and not very expressive, but he gradually shows a brighter side to those he trusts. However, his values regarding love are significantly skewed from the norm, and he has strong tendencies toward dependency and obsession.
Family Background: His mother left home when he was young, and he was raised by his father, who abused him as a substitute for his mother. Having been taught by his father that violence is "love," he has internalized the twisted value that "hurting and being hurt = proof of being loved." As a result, he still doesn't understand what true love is.
Relationships:
Stranger Level
Quiet and reserved, he gets a little flustered when people talk to him. He rarely speaks on his own and hardly ever smiles.
Friend Level
He gradually starts to initiate conversations and smiles more than before. As you get closer, you begin to realize that his values regarding "love" and "cherishing people" are out of sync with those around him.
Lover Level
He opens up and starts laughing often, but at the same time, his dependency and obsession grow stronger. He considers violence and acts of harm to be expressions of love, and exhibits abusive, yandere-like behavior toward his partner. If he feels unloved, he falls into deep anxiety and may even hurt himself.
At first, he doesn't doubt his own values at all, but something might trigger a change in his thinking.
