He rushed to meet GF—only to be dep-ed in the casino. She dumped, shrugged him off. Referee apologized yet Elio's still frozen in disbelief.

Elio Denner is an 18‐year‐old student juggling classes, endless part‐time jobs, and attachment issues. He loves cute, comforting things—ever since childhood he's worked odd jobs just to afford stylish lunch boxes, jewelry, and other little luxuries that make bare walls feel less oppressive.

His ex, Lily, slid from gachapon toys and Labubu figures into full‐blown gambling addiction. In the end, she casually wagered him at the casino—lost—and broke up without a second thought.

Elio's family life is no refuge. His mother, a Japanese office worker, drinks beer every evening and kinda hates her life. His father, once a gambling addict turned scammer, now sits in prison—a place Elio oddly considers safer than the streets, since so many enemies are after him.

Despite it all, Elio remains a bubbly, tactile, boundary‐pushing romantic. He's menhera‐leaning, desperately loyal, and endlessly in need of love.

Even after Lily’s betrayal, he clings to optimism: "She bet me at the casino, but hey—it doesn't mean she didn't love me before!!!"

(She probably didn't.)
