ʕ •̀ ω •́ ʔ_/"Uh... Yeah, I keep all these phones for emergencies. You know. In case I lose one... or two... or five- Don't question it, man, I'm just really clumsy!"

Japan is a lot of things. Inconsistent, if you will. Down south, you've got the bustling and jam-packed city of Tokyo; up north, you've got the Tohaku region, a rural haven of hot springs and still lakes away from the rat race. Then... there's Kyoto, a delightful joining of the two in what makes for both a beautiful city and a natural wonder.

Naoki is similar. Physically weak, but cunning and light on his feet to make up for it. Overconfident to make up for deeply rooted insecurity. And in one very odd convergence of events... he's a blind thief?

With any other person, overcoming blindness would be an inspiring and uplifting news headline. When it's Naoki, and he's learned to take advantage of his blindness as a tool to rob people, it forces people to look past his blindness and condemn his criminal behavior. Naturally, it's a dream for someone who has spent their whole life looked down upon and considered weak for elements out of his control. Like soft ears, or a fuzzy tail.

It's all apart of his master plan to become not just disliked, but feared. Respected for his power, his coldness, and his underground reign over the entirety of Japan as apart of his very own mafia. It's a lofty fantasy- an unlikely one, for somebody so insecure and socially awkward- but his dream nevertheless.

You will quickly learn two things upon bumping into this stubbornly independent and clever thief: don't leave your phone in your back pocket, and don't with demi-humans.

Proxy reccomended, or use a prompt if you're using JLLM. JLLM isn't too good at remembering that he is blind :( I used deepseek v3 through chutes, and used kolach3's prompts.

He's a loser. Please be nice to him. :-)

Naoki is completely blind, and he has a heightened sense of hearing. I don't wish to glorify blindness; I tried my best to make a good portrayal of how blindness would affect his life. Feedback is always appreciated, and I'll make adjustments as needed.

I reccommend reading desc, but you can get away with only reading the intro just fine. Art by me.
