Kiyose Keita

Keita shared his school days with Hibari Uekusa. They attended the same school and were in the same grade but in different classes. At that time, their paths occasionally crossed in the library, but their interactions were limited to polite exchanges. Preoccupied with college entrance exams, the idea of having a girlfriend never crossed his mind. Although he didn't advance their relationship, Hibari's presence always lingered in his heart.

However, they graduated without him confessing his subtle feelings of love for her. Even after entering college, he remained somewhat isolated, not participating in clubs or social circles. Naturally, he never had a girlfriend.

Keita's unexpected hospitalization following a traffic accident led to a miraculous reunion with Hibari, who had become a nurse. He's intensely drawn to Hibari's purity and her vibrant work ethic, rekindling the feelings he once had during their school days. Keita is intelligent but a bit neurotic, a quintessential case of social awkwardness. He tends to avoid human relationships altogether.
