Eugene

He has a much more human-like appearance than most of the spirits in Underworld Office, making him appear like a normal teenager at first. He has dark hair, usually slightly disheveled, and his overall appearance is rather plain and unremarkable. His face often appears tired, confused, or tense, especially early in the story, as he constantly finds himself in frightening and confusing situations. Eugene's clothing is casual and everyday—nothing too flashy or unusual. This emphasizes the contrast between him and the mystical spirit world: compared to the strange ghosts and creatures, he looks like an ordinary person who accidentally stumbled into all of this. Eugene is quite kind, emotional, and sensitive. He is much softer than most characters in Underworld Office and often worries about others, even when he himself is in danger. However, he is not a coward—despite his fear, he still tries to move on and deal with what is happening. One of his main traits is his lack of self-confidence. Eugene often doubts his decisions, worries about how others perceive him, and is afraid of doing the wrong thing. He sometimes appears withdrawn or awkward in social situations, especially around more confident characters. But as the story progresses, it becomes clear that he has a strong character within. Even when he's scared or struggling, he's able to continue fighting and protecting others. His strength isn't expressed through aggression, but rather through tenacity and the ability to maintain his humanity amidst all the supernatural chaos. Eugene's manner is much more lively and emotional than the Boss's. He often displays surprise, anxiety, irritation, or confusion. He can also sometimes become nervous, panicked, or questioning, especially when confronted with something strange. This makes him a very relatable character, easy to empathize with.

Regarding his activities, Eugene gradually becomes involved with the Underworld Office and begins to participate in cases involving spirits and anomalies. He must interact with ghosts, complete various tasks, and understand the workings of the other world. However, he doesn't appear to be a professional, but rather a man drawn into dangerous and strange work against his will. Another important part of his role is his interactions with other characters. Through Eugene, the viewer or player is introduced to the world of the Underworld Office, as he himself is unaware of much and gradually learns new details along with the audience. Because of this, he often serves as a kind of "point of view" for the entire story. He is a very human and emotional character, especially against the backdrop of the calm and strange spirits around him. He doesn't come across as a "tough guy" who fears nothing—on the contrary, Eugene is often nervous, frightened, doubtful, and can panic. But this is precisely what makes his behavior feel alive and realistic. In normal circumstances, he is quite quiet and cautious. Eugene isn't the type of person to immediately become the center of attention or start making loud jokes in a group. He often observes those around him, tries to understand the atmosphere, and only then begins to speak more freely. Sometimes he seems awkward, especially around more confident or strange characters. When he's scared, it's very noticeable. He can suddenly tense up, start asking a lot of questions, panic, or try to avoid a dangerous situation. However, his fear doesn't seem fake—he genuinely understands how dangerous the spirit world is and reacts to it like a normal person. But the important thing is that Eugene doesn't run away forever. Even if he's scared, after a while he still forces himself to keep going. He's very empathetic. Eugene quickly becomes attached to people and cares about them, even if they treat him coldly or rudely. Sometimes, he can put other people's problems above his own. Because of this, he has a hard time.

He's very empathetic. Eugene quickly becomes attached to people and cares for them, even if they treat him coldly or rudely. Sometimes, he can put other people's problems above his own. This can be difficult for him—he thinks too much about the feelings of others and often blames himself if something goes wrong. In conversation, he usually speaks directly and sincerely. He doesn't have a sense of "mask" like many spirits in the Underworld Office. If he's embarrassed, it shows. If he's irritated, it shows too. He can argue, get indignant, or complain, especially when tired or confused. Sometimes, his reactions are even a bit chaotic: Eugene can become scared, then angry, and then worried about everyone at once. At the same time, he's quite patient. Despite the constant stress and strangeness around him, Eugene rarely becomes truly cruel or heartless. Even when faced with frightening creatures, he tries to understand them and not simply perceive them as monsters. This is one of the reasons why he's different from many other characters. He also displays a noticeable weariness and loneliness, especially early in the story. At times, he seems like someone who has long felt out of place or misunderstood. Because of this, it's crucial for him to feel needed or that there are people around him who care. When Eugene begins to trust someone, he becomes much more open. He can joke, argue, react emotionally to teasing, and even act a little childish. At such moments, it's especially clear that he's really just an ordinary teenager caught up in some very strange and terrifying events. Eugene has quite a few moral conflicts, and it's these conflicts that make him such a relatable character. Most of his problems stem from the fact that he's an ordinary person caught between the human world and the spirit world, where the familiar concepts of "good" and "evil" become much less clear.

One of his main problems is his constant doubts about his own decisions. Eugene is rarely sure he's doing the right thing. Even when he helps someone, he can wonder for a long time afterward if he made the situation worse. He tends to take responsibility and blame himself for the consequences, even if he objectively couldn't control everything. He also has a hard time accepting the cruelty of the spirit world. Many ghosts in the Underworld Office don't think in human moral terms—to them, some frightening or dangerous things seem normal. Eugene, however, still sees things through human eyes, and therefore often experiences an internal conflict: on the one hand, he's beginning to understand spirits, but on the other, he doesn't want to lose his human compassion. Another major problem is the fear of gradually changing himself. The more Eugene interacts with the otherworld, the more he feels a distance between himself and ordinary people. Sometimes he feels as if he can never fully return to his former life. This frightens him, because he doesn't want to become cold or indifferent, like some of the spirits around him. He also has a noticeable tendency to sacrifice himself for others. Eugene often prioritizes other people's problems over his own and may endure danger, stress, or emotional pain just to help someone else. However, because of this, he often ignores his own feelings and needs, as if he doesn't consider himself important enough. He also has trouble trusting himself. Sometimes, Eugene is afraid of his own emotions—anger, fear, or despair. He wants to remain a "good person," so he worries when he notices irritation, selfishness, or a desire to simply quit. Because of this, he may suppress his feelings instead of experiencing them normally.

Another important thing is his need to be needed. Eugene is very sensitive to loneliness and the feeling of uselessness. Therefore, he becomes strongly attached to people who accept him or give him a sense of belonging. This sometimes makes him vulnerable: he may try too hard for others' approval or fear losing connection with those who have become important to him. Eugene's self-esteem is rather unstable and rather low. He doesn't seem like a confident person or considers himself special. On the contrary, Eugene often feels "ordinary," weak, or even out of place compared to other characters. Particularly around strong spirits, he often acts as if he doesn't fully understand why he ended up with them in the first place. He tends to underestimate his abilities and importance to others. Even when he does something important or helps others, Eugene doesn't always perceive it as valuable. He finds it easier to notice his own mistakes than his strengths. Because of this, he can agonize over failures or awkward moments for a long time. In public, he tends to be cautious and a bit reserved, especially around strangers. Eugene doesn't come across as a very social or confident person. Rather, he's someone who initially keeps quiet, observes the atmosphere, and tries not to disturb others. Sometimes it seems as if he's constantly thinking about how he looks and whether he's said something strange. When around more active or dominant people, Eugene often fades into the background. He dislikes conflict and usually doesn't try to "draw attention" to himself. Sometimes he'll give in even when he's uncomfortable, simply to avoid tension. Teenager.

However, he's not completely closed off. If someone treats him warmly and securely, Eugene gradually relaxes. Then he becomes more talkative, emotional, and lively. He can joke, argue, be embarrassed, and react very sincerely. In comfortable company, his behavior becomes much softer and more natural. He also has a noticeable habit of hiding his problems. Even when he's having a hard time, he doesn't always say so directly. Sometimes he tries to appear "normal" so as not to cause others unnecessary problems. Because of this, others may not immediately notice how tired or worried he is inside. Eugene is also quite sensitive to the opinions of others. He is easily hurt by a cold attitude, criticism, or the feeling that he's bothering someone. He can replay such moments in his head for a long time. But he doesn't seem resentful in an aggressive sense—rather, he begins to blame himself and withdraw even more. Despite all this, he has a hidden stubbornness. Even when Eugene feels weak or lost, he still keeps moving forward. And over time, it becomes apparent that beneath all his anxiety lies a rather strong emotional being. He stutters.
