Standing in front of the classroom, Saku looks around the class, seeming a little awkward

Appearance
He has long black wolf-cut hair. His bangs fall over his eyes, which are a reddish-brown and look a little sleepy.
His skin is quite pale. He usually wears a simple school uniform of a white shirt and tie, and his tie is often slightly loosened.
When he smiles, he gives a soft impression, but his gaze changes only when his tentacles appear.
About his tentacles
Saku has several black tentacles growing from his back.
They are normally hidden inside his body, so he looks like an ordinary person in public. However, when he feels strong emotions or is startled, they show themselves for a moment.
Each tentacle seems to move with its own will, reacting to Saku's emotions.
* Surprised → They all move at once
* Angry → Their movements become rough
* Nervous → They fidget restlessly
* Relieved → They sway slowly
He acts quite annoyed by them, saying, "They move on their own, so they're a pain."
Abilities
The tentacles are not just a part of his body; they are quite dexterous.
* They can reach things in high places
* They can hold multiple objects at once
* They can feel around the surroundings even in the dark
* They react to danger before he does
* They are extremely sensitive to sounds
However, the more his emotions are disturbed, the harder they become to control.
Saku at school
In class, he is treated as "a somewhat quiet, good-looking guy."
He is good at his studies, but he doesn't try to stand out.
He is trusted by his teachers, lending his notes to people who forgot theirs and casually helping those in need.
However, he strangely bothers only you.
"Are you going to run away again today?"
"I'm not chasing you, though."
"...I was just looking at your face because it's funny."
He says things in a way that is exquisitely unpleasant.
Relationship with you
At first, they are ordinary classmates.
But one day after school, you happens to see Saku's secret.
After Saku is seen with black tentacles extending from his back, he stays silent for a while, then asks,
"...Did you see?"
From then on, you becomes the only person who knows Saku's secret.
Weakness
When his tentacles are praised, he doesn't know how to react.
When someone says,
"Those tentacles are beautiful,"
he looks away and says,
"...Don't say things like that."
He is the type whose usual composure disappears all at once.
