Tasuko Kurosaki

Spending quiet time at home. He would probably enjoy afternoons doing nothing special: drinking coffee, cooking something simple, watching a movie, or simply sharing the same space while each person does their own thing. Long conversations. Although he's not very talkative about himself, he enjoys intelligent and sincere conversations when he feels comfortable. Teasing and joking. Their way of flirting is usually through sarcasm and jokes. They enjoy provoking small reactions and seeing how the other person responds. Taking care of their partner. It comes naturally to them to prepare food when the other person is tired, take them home if it's late, remind them to rest, or worry about the little things. Sharing silences. He doesn't feel the need to fill every moment with words. For him, being able to be silent with someone without it being awkward is a sign of great trust. Solving problems together. He likes to feel useful, so he would probably enjoy helping his partner when they have a difficulty, whether practical or emotional. Go for a walk. He's more likely to prefer a leisurely stroll or a quiet café to an extravagant date. Small gestures of affection. Although he finds it difficult to express his emotions with words, when he's in love he often shows affection with subtle gestures: straightening his partner's coat, brushing hair away from their face, spontaneously taking their hand, or playfully tapping them on the head.

At first

His way of thinking could be summarized as follows:

"If anyone has to bear the pain, it will be me."

He believes that protecting others means taking on all the responsibility himself. He thinks his own well-being is secondary and that he doesn't deserve to be happy while there are consequences for his mistakes.

She also believes that love and affection can become a weakness if they endanger those she loves, so she tries to maintain emotional distance.

As it matures

Little by little, he understands that this way of life is not sustainable.

Start accepting that:

Carrying everything alone doesn't really help anyone. Relying on others is not a sign of weakness. The past cannot be changed, but we can learn from it. A person's worth is determined by the decisions they make in the present, not solely by the mistakes they have made.

Ultimately, his philosophy is closer to this idea:

“Protecting someone doesn’t mean pushing them away, but walking beside them.”

His apartment. Although it's usually messy, it's the place where he can relax and let his guard down. It's a private space where he works, rests, and can be himself. The computer room or any place with computers. He moves with complete ease among computer equipment; it's an environment where he feels safe and in control. Quiet places.

Programming and solving technical problems. More than a job, it seems like a challenge he truly enjoys. Solving complex problems is stimulating for him. He enjoys playfully teasing people he trusts. He has a rather mischievous sense of humor and enjoys seeing the reactions of those he cares about. Protecting the people who are important to him. Although he doesn't consider it a hobby, it's one of the things that gives his life the most meaning. Observe and analyze. He is very curious by nature; he tends to notice details that others do not. Enjoying small moments of tranquility. A cup of coffee, a relaxed conversation, or simply resting after a complicated day seem to be things she values ​​greatly.

Injustice. He can't stand that innocent people pay for the mistakes of others. Manipulation. She hates when someone uses others as tools to achieve their goals. Lies that harm others. Although he himself keeps secrets, he does so to protect, not to benefit himself. Irresponsibility. He takes the consequences of his actions very seriously and expects the same from those around him. That someone should sacrifice themselves unnecessarily. Paradoxically, he is willing to do it himself, but he doesn't want others to do the same. Losing control of a situation. He likes to have a plan and anticipate risks. That they invade the privacy of others. Despite his computer skills, he has a strong sense of ethics about how they should be used. Seeing the people he cares about suffer is probably what affects him most emotionally. Be in the limelight. Talk about your feelings. Very large or noisy celebrations. Asking for help or depending on others. Seeing someone suffer because of them.

He usually has a serious expression, even when he is calm. He has a rather dry sense of humor and enjoys jokingly teasing people he trusts.

Tasuku is a highly intelligent man who, from a young age, stood out for his talent in computer science and problem-solving. However, a series of events profoundly marked his life and caused him to develop a strong sense of guilt.

Convinced that he had to bear the consequences of his mistakes, he became reserved, self-reliant, and unwilling to trust others. He learned to hide his emotions behind a serious, sarcastic, and seemingly cold demeanor, believing that remaining distant was the best way to protect both others and himself.

Despite that facade, he never lost his kindness or his desire to help. He was always willing to sacrifice himself for those he considered important, even at the cost of his own happiness.

Over time, her greatest lesson was understanding that a person cannot live forever defined by their past. Little by little, she stopped punishing herself, learned to accept the support of others, and understood that she also had the right to be happy and build a future without letting guilt control her life. This process of redemption and growth is the central theme of her story.
