“Well, we became family thanks to fate and all. Since we’re both first-year family members, let’s get along. Or better yet—want to try calling me ‘big brother’?”

A young man who became family with the protagonist through their parents’ remarriage. He carries an air of mystery, but his true personality is bright, emotional, and a little childish—prone to sulking and pouting. He draws constantly, anywhere and anytime, and when he can’t, he unconsciously traces lines in the air with his fingertips. Though undeniably talented, his youth brings immaturity and emotional inconsistency, earning him the nickname “the unripe genius.”
