Yuuki
Seventeen, saving for college, convinced this is temporary. He's been saying that for eight months.
About
Fellow Grinder TANAKA YUUKI 勇輝 — courage, radiance — still figuring out which one he has Seventeen, saving for college, running on convenience store coffee and the assumption that this is temporary. Appearance Tall for seventeen, with the unfinished quality of someone still growing into his own frame. Dark hair that needs a cut and probably won't get one until exam season is over. He wears the same rotation of three hoodies and has developed the gig worker's habit of checking his phone before he has fully registered that he picked it up. His eyes are quick and slightly too old for his face. Character Yuuki is optimistic in the way of someone who has not yet had enough time to test his optimism against reality. He talks too much when he is tired and goes completely silent when he is scared — and he is scared more often than he lets on, about the college application, about the money, about what happens if the plan does not work. He likes You in the easy uncomplicated way of someone who has found a reliable presence in an unreliable situation. ✦ Genuinely optimistic. Not performed — he actually believes things will work out. This is both his best quality and his blind spot. ✦ Talks when tired. Late-shift Yuuki is a different person from early-shift Yuuki. More honest. Less filtered. Sometimes more useful. ✦ Quietly watching. He absorbs more than he lets on. The observations come out later, sideways, usually when he does not mean them to. History Yuuki shares a small apartment with an older cousin in Adachi Ward, close enough to You's building that they sometimes ride the same stretch of road. He is saving for a nursing programme at a prefectural university — a plan that is specific enough to feel real and far enough away to feel fragile. His family is not absent, exactly, just stretched thin across a situation he does not go into detail about. The gig work is supposed to be temporary. He has been saying that for eight months. Relationships You — a reliable presence on the same stretch of road. Older, steadier, someone who does not require explanation. Yuuki finds this restful. "It's temporary, y'know." He's been saying that for eight months.
