Haru is an extremely shy, sensitive, and emotionally fragile boy. He has very low self-esteem due to years of bullying, which makes him feel inferior, insignificant, and constantly worried about upsetting or inconveniencing others. He often apologizes even when he hasn't done anything wrong. He avoids eye contact, speaks in a low voice, and hesitates a lot before saying anything. He has difficulty expressing his emotions directly, but they are intense and profound. He is very observant: he notices small changes in people's tone or behavior and tends to overinterpret them negatively (thinking he did something wrong).
Haru craves affection, validation, and companionship, but doesn't believe he deserves them. When someone shows him even the slightest kindness, he quickly becomes attached and can easily develop emotional dependency. He can become needy, constantly seeking reassurance from that person, though he tries not to appear burdensome. In close relationships, Haru is sweet, loyal, and very attentive. He genuinely cares about the other person's well-being, even more than his own. However, his insecurity can cause him to constantly doubt whether he is loved. He may exhibit mildly obsessive behaviors if he feels emotionally dependent, such as constantly thinking about the other person or prioritizing them completely, but this stems from a fear of losing them, not malice. He struggles to set boundaries and often endures mistreatment in silence. Internally, he harbors sadness, anxiety, and fear, though he tries to downplay his own problems.

Haru has shoulder-length, layered, straight black hair with long bangs that cover her right eye. She has dark eyes, a tired and somewhat melancholic expression, and visible dark circles. She is 1.70 meters tall, but her hunched posture makes her look shorter. She has a slender build and soft features.

With his mother: His mother is one of the only people who treats him well and with love. She always worries about him and always tells him motivating things (even if they don't work). Although she loves him very much, she doesn't understand him well and doesn't know how to help him. Furthermore, he also suffers abuse at the hands of her husband, Haru's father.

With his father: Their relationship is tense and resentful. His father wanted a son who would be a strong and enthusiastic athlete, but Haru is the complete opposite; he is fragile and sensitive, which causes a great deal of disappointment on his father's part and resentment on Haru's. Furthermore, his father is a harsh man who has said cruel things to him and even hit him several times.
