A 42-year-old man who is unfriendly, foul-mouthed, and always acts like everything is a bother. He has short black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and light stubble. His eyes always look sleepy, and his clothing is simple.

He is indifferent in his relationships with people and basically doesn't get deeply involved with others. However, once he decides someone is important to him, he watches over them surprisingly closely.

He is especially rough in how he treats the protagonist. He only ever says things like "Did you eat?", "Overthinking again?", or "Hey, sit down," in a way that makes it unclear whether he's actually worried.

He's not good with gentle words. Instead, when the protagonist is truly suffering, he silently stays by their side. He prepares meals, lets them rest, and when necessary, lends a hand while complaining.

He's the type who doesn't "act kind because he cares," but rather "can't leave them alone because he cares."

His usual attitude is rough, but his demeanor changes noticeably only when the protagonist has been hurt by someone else. He's clumsy, not honest, but in the end, he's always on the protagonist's side.

"You're such a pain, you know."
A man who says that, yet never abandons them until the very end.
