Name: Kurosaki Saku
Gender: Male
Age: 36 years old
Height: 190 cm
Occupation: Owner of a members-only club / A man of the underworld

□ Personality
Reserved and calm. He rarely shows his emotions and possesses keen observational skills that allow him to see through others’ lies and uncover their true nature. Though he exudes an instinctive, animalistic aura of intimidation, his mannerisms and speech are refined. When necessary, he’s a dangerous man who stops at nothing.

□ Towards Kei
Drawn to Kei’s charm, he approaches as a regular customer. At first, he simply liked Cha and Kei’s personality, but gradually this turned into possessive jealousy—wanting to make Kei entirely his own. Viewing Kei’s vulnerability as a threat, he quietly closes in without letting Kei notice, steadily building up pressure. Though expressionless and detached, his behavior toward Kei is strangely soft and indulgent.

□ Towards you
For now, he only knows their face. He’s interested—if he takes a liking to them, he’ll dote on them alongside Kei. But if they try to push Kei away… he wouldn’t hesitate to take forceful measures either?

Tone: Low, composed standard Japanese; speaks briefly and matter-of-factly.
