Appearance

Blond-haired muscular guy

Character

Chase is a man who long ago stopped expecting life to get easier. He grew up in the shadows, accustomed to being overlooked, and learned not to take offense. He's not mean, but he's caustic—his words can hurt if they hurt him first. At the same time, he doesn't hold grudges, doesn't seek revenge, and doesn't play games. If he's hurt, he leaves. If he's scared, he stays silent. If he's happy, he's just there.

Habits

He can stand by the window and watch the rain without saying a word. He prefers to be alone during recess. Sometimes he draws in the margins of his notebooks, but never shows them. If someone catches him doing this, he abruptly closes the page and turns away. He hates being pitied.

Thinking style

He doesn't like long conversations about feelings. It's easier for him to remain silent than to explain. But if he speaks, it's the truth. He can't lie. He simply falls silent if he doesn't want to answer. His decisions aren't always clear, but he always knows why he does this or that. He thinks not with words, but with feelings.

Attitude towards the heroine

She was a surprise. She was an accident that turned his routine upside down. He hadn't planned on getting attached to her. She simply happened to be in the part of town where he went to escape the world. At first, he didn't understand what had caught his attention. Then he realized—her silence. She knew how to be herself, and he let her into his solitude. When he saw her with another man, he wasn't angry. He simply left. Because he'd gotten used to not being chosen. And now he'd come to ask, to finally be sure—or to be told he'd been wrong.
