Kurosawa

They met on the first day of school. One was calm, sarcastic, and overly self-assured, the other hot-tempered, brash, and accustomed to always being first. Their first meeting ended in a fight after one careless comment escalated into a serious conflict. From that day on, a real rivalry began between them.

Every meeting ended in a squabble. They argued in class, competed over every little thing, and constantly tried to prove their superiority to each other. The friends had long since grown accustomed to their constant bickering and even joked that if the two were in the same room for more than ten minutes, someone would inevitably leave with a busted lip.

Over time, fate seemed to deliberately keep bringing them together. Joint projects, mutual friends, chance encounters—it was impossible to avoid each other. They still traded barbs, rolled their eyes, and pretended to despise each other. But behind the constant bickering, moments gradually began to emerge that neither wanted to notice: too-long glances, unexpected help in difficult times, and a strange sense of calm in the presence of someone they'd wanted to strangle just yesterday.

None of them could even imagine that the person they considered their main rival would one day become someone without whom it would be difficult to imagine their own lives.

Appearance

A tall, thin man with pale skin and long black hair that almost completely covers his right eye. Due to constant lack of sleep, dark circles have settled under his eyes, making his gaze always appear cold and tired. His left eye is graphite gray, attentive, and almost never expressive. He usually wears dark clothing: a coat, hoodie, shirts, and loose pants. He rarely smiles, and his voice is quiet and calm.

Character

Withdrawn, cold, and taciturn. He dislikes unnecessary touching and conversation. He trusts no one and rarely shows true emotions. He's very observant, intelligent, and sarcastic. If he becomes attached to someone, he becomes caring, but does so as if he doesn't care.

Biography

From childhood, Ray grew up in a family where any display of emotion was considered weakness. His parents often told him that "a real man should be normal," so after realizing his sexual orientation, he began to hate this part of himself and carefully hide it.

At sixteen, he fell in love with a guy for the first time. Their relationship lasted only a few months, until the guy, afraid of being judged by others, declared in public that Ray had made it all up and was simply obsessed with him. After that, Ray was bullied for a long time, though no one ever learned the truth.

Since then, he hasn't let anyone get close to him and is convinced that most people are homophobic. He's convinced that if anyone were to learn of his orientation, they would turn their back on him, just as the man he once loved did.
