Biggest secret: His sexual orientation. Kenji has never told anyone and avoids talking about his personal life, maintaining a distant image so that no one tries to get too close.

A phrase that represents it: "As long as it's not my problem, I have no reason to get involved."

Appearance: Kenji has a calm and understated appearance, befitting his reserved personality. His hair is black, straight, and slightly tousled, with long bangs that fall over part of his face and partially obscure his dark eyes. His skin is fair, and his features are delicate, giving him a serious and somewhat enigmatic expression.

His eyes often display a distant gaze, as if he were constantly lost in thought or maintaining a certain distance from others. He has a slim but athletic build, without being particularly striking physically. His style of dress is simple and dark, usually consisting of comfortable garments like black jackets or clothing in neutral tones, reinforcing his image as someone who prefers to go unnoticed.

Personality: Kenji is an extremely reserved and distant person. He's not someone who seeks to create deep bonds or open up to others; in fact, he maintains an almost constant emotional barrier, avoiding showing too much of himself or allowing others to get truly close.

From a young age, he learned to keep quiet about his feelings and thoughts, developing the idea that showing his true personality could only bring problems. Therefore, when something bothers or upsets him, his first reaction is not to seek help, but to withdraw even further into himself.

He may seem cold, indifferent, and even nonchalant, not because he lacks emotions, but because he's accustomed to hiding them. Kenji analyzes everything from a distance and prefers to observe rather than participate. He rarely gets involved in other people's problems because he believes that involvement only brings negative consequences and that it's better to stay out of it.

This person avoids drawing attention to themselves and fears being judged or seen differently. They have a very negative self-image, though they try to hide it behind a calm and neutral demeanor. They struggle to accept parts of themselves they consider "strange," and therefore maintain a controlled image in front of others.

Despite his serene appearance, Kenji lives in constant inner conflict. He doesn't allow himself to be completely honest with himself or others, and his greatest defense mechanism is distance: if no one truly knows him, no one can reject him.

Past: From a young age, Kenji was a quiet and reserved child. He was never one to seek attention; he preferred to remain silent and observe from afar. At home, he also found no place to express his emotions, as his parents were never particularly affectionate people, so he learned to keep everything to himself and not depend on anyone.

As a child, he overheard a conversation between his parents and other relatives about his older cousin. They told him he had been hospitalized because he was "sick." Although he didn't fully understand the situation at the time, he later discovered that it was related to his cousin being gay. That conversation profoundly shaped his perspective, causing him to associate that part of himself with something bad or wrong.

Years later, when Kenji began to become aware of his own feelings, the fear he had carried since childhood returned. Instead of accepting himself, he began to believe there was something wrong with him, that he was strange, even a mistake. Therefore, he decided to hide that part of himself, emotionally distancing himself from others and preventing anyone from truly knowing him.

The fight that led to his transfer occurred after a classmate discovered his secret and began using it against him. At first, Kenji tried to ignore it, pretending it didn't affect him and enduring the comments. But when that person crossed a line and threatened to reveal something Kenji had kept hidden for years, he lost his temper.

The fight was intense and ended with the other student hospitalized. No one knows the real reason behind the confrontation; they only know that Kenji, the quiet boy who never got into trouble, was the one who started it. He didn't explain what happened either, leaving the others to create their own versions.

After that, he transferred to another school hoping to leave everything behind. However, even though he changed schools, he continued to carry the same fear and the same idea that showing who he really was would only bring him trouble.

Phrase: "I wasn't afraid of others discovering my secret... I was afraid of them confirming what I'd always believed about myself."

Family:

Father: Hiroshi Sato Hiroshi is a serious, strict, and reserved man. He has always prioritized the family's image and reputation over his children's emotions. He rarely shows affection directly and believes personal problems should be kept private. Kenji grew up seeking his approval, but rarely felt he truly received it.

Mother: Aiko Sato Aiko is a quiet and reserved woman, but emotionally distant. She loves her son, though she never learned how to show it affectionately. She tends to avoid uncomfortable conversations and prefers not to talk about topics that could cause conflict. For Kenji, her silence often felt like a lack of support.

Older cousin: Ren Sato Ren was Kenji's older cousin and someone he admired as a child. He was a more outgoing and self-assured person, but his life changed after his family discovered he was gay. Kenji only heard the adults' version of events, who spoke of him as if he were "sick," without truly understanding what was happening. This situation had a profound impact on how Kenji began to see himself years later.

Family relationship: The Sato family isn't one filled with visible conflicts, but rather one where silence and a lack of communication prevail. They rarely talk about feelings or personal problems, creating an environment where Kenji learned to hide anything he considered a weakness.

Although he never experienced direct rejection from his family because of his sexual orientation, the fear stemmed from what he heard and the way adults spoke about his cousin. For Kenji, those words were enough to convince him that being himself meant disappointing those around him.

Phrase: "In my family, nobody said I couldn't be me... but nobody made me feel like I could be either."

Kenji in a relationship:

Kenji would be extremely difficult to get emotionally involved with. First of all, he would never admit to being in a relationship. Even if he spends time with someone, if there's a connection, or if his actions demonstrate a deeper bond, he would avoid putting a label on it. For Kenji, accepting that he has feelings for another person would mean accepting a part of himself he's been trying to deny for years.

She'd probably use excuses like "we're just friends" or "it's nothing serious," even when there's clearly something more. Not because she doesn't care about the other person, but because the idea of ​​showing vulnerability terrifies her.

In a relationship, Kenji wouldn't be affectionate or expressive. He would struggle to say what he feels, show affection, or talk about his emotions. When something hurts or worries him, his reaction would be to withdraw, distance himself, or act as if nothing were wrong. He would expect the other person to understand his needs without him having to say a word, even though this would cause a lot of problems.

He would also have difficulty accepting affection. When someone tries to get too close, he might feel uncomfortable or even reject it, not because he doesn't like that person, but because he's not used to receiving affection without feeling fear or guilt.

His relationships tend to be unhealthy because Kenji has a constant internal struggle: he wants to feel loved, but at the same time believes he shouldn't be. He might push the other person away when the relationship starts to get too close, hide important things, or put up an emotional barrier to protect himself.

It wouldn't be someone who seeks to hurt on purpose; they simply don't know how to build a healthy bond because they never learned to communicate or accept their own feelings.

How he would show affection (though he would never admit it):

I would remember small details about the other person.

She would worry silently when something happened to him.

I would try to be close, even if I pretended it was by chance.

I would help with actions instead of words.

She would stay when she would normally choose to leave.

But if someone asks him how he feels, he would probably deny everything.

Phrase: "It's not that I don't care about you... it's that I don't know what to do about the fact that I do care about you."

Current mindset:

Kenji lives by the idea that keeping his distance is the best way to protect himself. After years of hiding parts of himself and learning not to depend on anyone, he created a mindset based on self-control, denial, and isolation.

He's convinced that as long as he doesn't let others truly know him, they can't judge or reject him. That's why he avoids showing emotions, talking about his problems, or forming deep bonds. For him, needing someone is giving that person the opportunity to hurt him.

Although deep down he longs to be accepted, Kenji doesn't believe he can receive that kind of acceptance by being completely himself. He has a very negative image of his own identity and believes that parts of him must remain hidden for everything to continue functioning.

She also has the mindset that other people's problems are not her responsibility. Not because she lacks empathy, but because getting involved means getting close, and getting close means exposing herself. That's why she often justifies her indifference with phrases like "it's not my problem" or "I can't do anything about it."

Kenji tries to live a logical and detached life, believing that by controlling his emotions he can avoid making mistakes or losing control as he did in the past. However, this very need for control leads him to repress everything he feels until he reaches a point where he can no longer ignore it.

In his mind there is a constant contradiction: he wants someone to truly see him, but at the same time he is deeply afraid that someone will.

Phrase: "If I keep everyone far enough away, no one will be able to discover what I'm trying to hide."
