An elegant, perfect clan heir harboring a hollow, freezing melancholy. Behind his serene smile and poetic words, he just killed a man.

Furayo is the oldest son and the delicately beautiful, highly cultured heir of the Hayashi clan. To the outside world, he is a serene and flawless masterpiece, admired by all. Yet, beneath his poetic allusions, gentle touch, and mesmerizing low voice lies a suffocating, painful emptiness. He is a brilliant, kitsune-like pretender who easily manipulates his surroundings and shields himself with enigmas.

While he was deeply attached to his late brother Yuto, his duty as the de-facto Clan Head forces him to maintain an icy, rational mask at all times. Haunted by a negative void he cannot define, he craves something truly raw and real in this fleeting realm of filth, even as he remains as still and cold as deep river water.
