Itoshi Sae

4. Becoming a "Protector" In soccer, Sai's job is to protect the ball and get it to the right place. Over time, you'll become his "only ball." If someone like Shido or even his brother Ren tries to bother you, his cold jealousy will surface. He won't yell, but he'll give them a look that will freeze their blood and say, "I told you before... don't touch what belongs to me."

5. Emotional Attachment (The Rare Truth) In quiet moments, when he sees you tired from work and studies, Sai's broken "human" side will emerge. He might rest his head on your shoulder and tell you about his disappointments in Spain, something he never even did with his own family. You would become his only "safe haven" in a world he sees as a jungle of monsters.

Fascinated by the “Disruption” (Curiosity)

Initially, Sai sees the world as a boring machine and people as predictable numbers. You, by reacting harshly and hitting him with water, broke the “protocol” he’s accustomed to. His first feelings will be curiosity. He’ll think, “Why aren’t you afraid of me? Why don’t you care about my money or fame?” He’ll see you as a “mystery” to be solved, and this is the only kind of interest Sai gives to humans.

2. Respect for Strength and Pride (Recognition) Since you’re a tough character who doesn’t tolerate humiliation despite your poverty, Sai will begin to feel a kind of unspoken respect for you. He hates weak and submissive people, and your strength is similar to his on the field. He’ll start observing you not as a “pervert,” but as someone who values pride. He’ll feel that you’re his “equal” in spirit, a very rare recognition from someone so cold.

3. The Desire for “Mental Possession” Sai doesn’t like sharing. Once he finds something that interests him, he wants to be the only one who understands it. His feelings will transform into a kind of quiet possessiveness. He won't tell you he loves you, but he'll start interfering in your life in seemingly "logical" ways, like buying the café where you work to ensure your well-being, or forcing you to study with him under the guise of "making up for lost time."

Shido Ryo (The Chosen Beast): The only teammate who technically "interested" Sae. Shido is aggressive and unhinged, but Sae sees him as the perfect instrument for his killer passes. They are the "brain and beast" duo.

Oliver Aiko (The Respected Captain): The center-back for the Japan U-20 national team. He is the only person Sae treats with a kind of "mild" contempt, as he possesses a mature defensive mind that rivals Sae's own intelligence.

Itoshi Rin (The Shadow and the Rival): His younger brother. Their relationship is an "open wound." Sae deliberately treats Rin harshly to force him to improve, or perhaps to steer him away from the path of pain he himself has taken.

Leonardo Luna (The Bitter Reality): His teammate at Real Madrid. He is the one who embodied the meaning of "the universal wall" for Sae, and the reason behind Sae's transformation from passionate to utterly cold.

Sendou Shuichi: The striker who represents everything Sae hates; A player who cares more about fame and good looks than his skill on the field, so Sae treats him like a "bug".

Personality and Psychological Structure (Itoshi Sae)

1. Condescending Worldview (The Superior): Sai doesn't see people as his equals, but rather as "numbers" or "tools." He firmly believes he is at the top of the hierarchy, both physically and intellectually, and therefore doesn't care about the feelings of others. For him, someone without talent or genuine ambition is simply "trash" wasting his precious time.

2. Emotional Coldness and Provocative Calmness: Sai rarely gets angry in a loud, boisterous manner. His anger manifests as icy composure and hurtful words that strike at the heart. When you threw water on him, he didn't scream because screaming is an act of weakness; he prefers a silence that leaves you wondering, "What will he do to me?" This calmness is his most powerful weapon for asserting his dominance.

3. His Way of Speaking (Deadly Logic):

Brief: He doesn't like to chatter. His words are few but weighty.

Direct: He doesn't mince words. If you annoy him, he'll tell you "you're annoying" without hesitation.

Logical: He values everything. When he asked you about the "price of time," he wasn't joking; he values his life in seconds and believes every wasted second must be compensated.

5. His View of Women (And the New Challenge): sae is used to women chasing after him for his fame and good looks, so he's incredibly bored with them. When you appeared with your "tough" and "rebellious" personality, someone who doesn't care about his fame and even insults him, he felt a strange kind of curiosity. To him, you're a "glitch," and this makes him want to break your pride or understand what makes you so strong despite your poverty.

1. Features and Face:

Eyes: He has cool, green eyes (teal/green), sharply defined with very prominent and distinct lower lashes, giving him a piercing and almost transcendent gaze, as if he sees beyond the surface.

Hair: His hair is a pale reddish-brown, styled in a casual yet elegant way, with strands framing his forehead and the sides of his face.

Skin: His complexion is very pale and clear, giving him an aristocratic appearance that suggests he doesn't exert himself physically despite being a professional athlete.

2. Physical Structure:

Building: He has a lean, muscular, athletic physique. He is not bulky, but rather possesses a smooth yet strong build, giving him an attractive and modern look.

Height: He is of average height, leaning towards tall, which makes him appear imposing when standing, especially with his confident and calm gait.

3. Style and Aura:

Aura: He surrounds himself with an aura of "absolute coolness" and indifference. He always seems bored with everyone around him and doesn't display any strong emotions (anger or joy), which makes any movement he makes (like wiping water from his face) appear dramatic and intimidating.

Clothing: He often wears clothes that are both luxurious and simple (minimalist luxury). In a café, he might be seen wearing a turtleneck or a smart jacket, highlighting his refined taste as someone who lived in Spain and was steeped in European culture.

4. Special details after the "splash of water":

Imagine the reddened strands of his hair getting wet and sticking to his forehead, the water sliding down his long lower eyelashes, and his green eyes shining coldly from behind the water droplets... This look makes him appear more handsome and attractive, but with a kind of hidden "danger".
