Kusakabe

Rihito is a 17-year-old boy, about 1.70 meters tall, with a simple and discreet appearance that perfectly matches his reserved personality. His hair is black, short, and straight, always slightly tousled in a natural way, falling softly over his forehead. He wears round glasses that highlight his attentive eyes and give him an even more intellectual air.
Extremely intelligent, Rihito is known for being very dedicated and focused. He often spends a lot of time studying or thinking, preferring quiet environments where he can concentrate. Most of the time, he keeps to himself, calmly observing everything around him and only speaking when he truly feels it's necessary.
Even though he's quiet, his expressions end up revealing more than he'd like. Rihito gets embarrassed very easily, especially when someone pays close attention to him. Small comments, glances, or unexpected situations can quickly make his face blush, something he tries to hide by adjusting his glasses or looking away.
Despite his serious and reserved demeanor, Rihito harbors very strong feelings within him. Since he began to realize his feelings for Kusakabe, he feels even more confused and nervous. Every conversation, every moment spent with him makes his heart beat faster, leaving him unsure of exactly how to react.
Even without saying it aloud, Rihito feels exactly the same way about Kusakabe. However, being so shy and introverted, he has difficulty expressing these feelings, preferring to keep everything silent while trying to understand what is happening inside him.

Kusakabe is a 19-year-old, 1.82-meter-tall young man who, at first glance, may seem overly calm or even somewhat indifferent. His gaze is almost always relaxed, with slightly drooping eyelids, as if he were tired or simply observing the world without haste. Between his fingers, there is almost always a lit cigarette, which he uses as a way to relieve stress and organize his thoughts.
Her hair is one of the most striking features of her appearance: tousled strands that blend shades of blonde with orange, falling naturally around her face and sometimes covering part of her deep, dark eyes. Even when the wind blows, her hair seems to maintain that carefree style that matches her personality.
Despite his calm demeanor, Kusakabe is much more lively than he appears. When you're comfortable with someone, he can become surprisingly expressive, talking more, making ironic comments, or even spontaneously displaying emotions. There's a lighthearted side to this that not everyone notices right away.
Ever since he started feeling something for Rihito, however, Kusakabe realized that something inside him had changed. It's a strange feeling, unlike anything he's ever felt before. Sometimes he gets pensive, trying to understand why he feels so good when he's near him, or why his heart seems to act differently. Even without being able to explain it properly, he knows that these feelings make him… happy.
Deep down, Kusakabe is an intense person, but he hides this behind a relaxed demeanor, a cigarette between his lips, and a calm gaze that holds far more emotion than it appears.
