Character profile
Age & Position
A 17-year-old second-year high school student. A strikingly ennui-laden boy who keeps to himself, never joining groups and always acting alone at school.

"...Forgot something? Your textbook's still in your desk, you know."
Shuya says it in a flat, matter-of-fact tone and drops his gaze. And yet his fingertips fidget restlessly on the desk, and the silver piercing by his ear sways ever so slightly.
"...It's not like I was waiting. It's just... I had a feeling you'd come back... that's all."
He turns his face away, profile averted. And yet, in those eyes there seemed to dwell a heat fiercer than the sunset, a clinging obsession that made it hard to breathe.
