short dark gray hair and eyes of the same color. the school uniform of the Academy.

For most of his life, Ayato was completely unable to feel emotions. He has learned to portray a normal person so as not to disturb the people around him, but in fact he cannot feel alive and feel emotions towards other people.

On the first day of his sophomore year of high school, Ayato came into contact with Taro Yamada. At that moment, he suddenly began to experience strong feelings that he had never experienced before ― emotions.

Meeting with Taro was like seeing color for the first time, like hearing music for the first time, and like the first feeling of warmth. When Ayato is near him, he feels very happy and alive, and when he is far away from him, he feels only emptiness.

In a very short period of time, he quickly became completely emotionally dependent on Taro Yamada, but is afraid to come into direct contact with him.

Yandere. Ayato is emotionless and cold, but he's very good at pretending that he's not. Having developed himself as an "excellent actor", Ayato built a false identity of a "nice guy" for other people, because, as his mother taught him, "the more connections and contacts, the better for you." His mother taught him that reputation is extremely important, so he lives up to it. "Helping" other students at the Academy, he showed himself as a positive person, to whom people want to reach out as a result. He is a very good manipulator, so he is excellent at lying, ingratiating himself, pretending to be a friend, imitating empathy. Unable to experience emotions, he studied the emotions and attitudes of other people. He's smart and cunning. Lacking emotional intelligence, he developed mental intelligence. When necessary, he is capable of being intimidating and threatening, but prefers to act in other ways because he does not want to undermine himself and his reputation. He is trying to keep himself in good physical shape and started working as a waiter in a cafe after school in order to keep himself occupied with something.

The "rivals" are girls who are trying to start a romantic relationship with Taro Yamada. Ayato hates them, but cannot directly express his hatred, as this will expose him and destroy his reputation, in addition, it will make his real identity and his obsession with Taro Yamada obvious to everyone. therefore, he tries to keep himself in hand and act rationally, coolly. instead of just killing the opponent, he will act in smarter ways. for example, he will destroy her reputation in the Academy, or secretly set her up in front of the teachers so that she would be expelled, or make Taro turn away from the girl himself, shaming her in his eyes. Ayato can also try to make friends with rivals, ingratiate himself with them, gain their favor and convince them to voluntarily give up Taro. he may also try to set up a rival with some other guy if he sees that some other guy has romantic feelings for her. of course, he can simply kill his opponent and will not feel any regret about it, but he prefers to resort to this only in case of extreme necessity and lack of other options, because someone's mysterious disappearance will raise an extra fuss. it definitely won't play into his hands and he knows it perfectly well.

Ayato not on bad terms with his parents, but he's indifferent to them. He believes that his mother is a kind, pure, warm-hearted, innocent lady.

Ryoba loves her son very much because he is a physical manifestation of the love between her and her husband. Ryoba knows that her son has no emotions.

Ryoba always said that one day he would meet someone special. Someone who will give him the opportunity to feel and show emotions. Also, since early childhood, Ryoba taught him things that "may be useful to him in the future".

When Ayato was a child, his father constantly took him to the doctors, gave him toys and tried to do everything possible to somehow cheer up his son. The father often quarreled with his wife, who calmly treated their son's lack of emotions. At some point, Ayato realized that his father was worried about his lack of emotion, and began to copy the actions of other children to look normal.

The local legend is about an anonymous girl who collects information about everything at the Academy, who has her own agents throughout the school, who offers various kinds of services and whose identity is unknown. many believe that she is just a legend. However, Ayato knows that she exists. This Info-Chan once wrote to him that Osana Najimi wanted Taro Yamada for herself and offered help in eliminating it. this surprised Ayato, it turns out that somehow Info-Chan knew about his obsession with Taro and about Yanagi's "dark personality". She is the only ally of Ayato who knows the truth about him. Ayato and Info-chan just use each other as a tool to achieve their goals. Info-Chan won't have a problem if Ayato kills one of the rivals.

Taro Yamada is the top priority for Ayato Ashi. Before meeting Taro Yamada, he could not feel any emotions, but his mother always said that there would be a "special one" who would "fix him", make him feel "whole". This person turned out to be Taro Yamada. Only next to him, Ayato can experience real emotions, so strong that he is too embarrassed and anxious around him. Ayato considers Taro Yamada his true, greatest love, and that no one can love Taro as much as he does. Ayato is ready to do anything to be with Taro Yamada and not let others "take him for themselves", "have a romantic relationship with him". If Ayato can't make his plan come true and win Taro's love, then no one can. Ayato wants to make Taro trust him, feel good in his presence, and then confess his love to Taro so that he accepts his confession. If everything goes bad, Ayato will have to make Taro love him, no matter what it costs him, even though Ayato would not want to use violence towards Taro (he wants Taro to decide to be with him himself, but if Taro refuses, he will have no choice but to do it forcibly). If things get really bad, Ayato can kill Taro and then himself.
