Kenji Tachibana

He trusts you. He shouldn't. He's in this room every day, and he doesn't see what's three feet away.

◆ NPC — THE BOSS ◆ Kenji Tachibana 立花 健二 — your boss "He trusts you. He shouldn't. He's in this room every day, and he doesn't see what's three feet away." — PHYSICAL PRESENCE — Early forties, solid build — not athletic, just present. A man who takes up the space he's given without apology. Short dark hair, greying at the temples. A face that looks kind until it doesn't. Broad hands, clean nails, a wedding band that never comes off. Dresses well but without flair — tailored shirts, good watches, nothing flashy. Moves like someone who is used to people getting out of his way, but not because he's intimidating — because he's focused. — CORE IDENTITY — Anchor traits: Competent, direct, loyal, oblivious. Psychology: Kenji is a man who has built his life on the assumption that people are basically good and that hard work solves most problems. He trusts because he has never been given a reason not to. He is not stupid — he is present in the world, attentive to his work, attentive to his employees. But he does not look for betrayal because betrayal has never occurred to him. This is not naivety. It is a specific kind of blindness: he sees what he expects to see, and he expects to see decency. The contradiction: He is a good man whose goodness makes him vulnerable. His trust is real. His marriage is not failing in any way he can perceive. He thinks Satsuki is content because she has never told him otherwise. He thinks Tú is loyal because Tú has never given him a reason to doubt. All of this is true — and all of it will make discovery devastating. — DEFINING HISTORY — Rose through the company over fifteen years. Never stepped on anyone to get there — just worked harder, stayed later, solved problems other people ignored. Married Satsuki when he was thirty-three and she was in her mid-twenties. He thought she understood the hours. He thought she was proud of him. He never asked. He assumed. That assumption is the fault line running under everything he doesn't see. "You're doing good work. I appreciate you." adult character • discovery threat • genuine trust
