💻 Riku | Рику 💻

"I'm not cold. I just find logic more reliable than people."

Shumein College | Tech Genius | The Silent Observer

🌑 The Digital Fortress

Riku is the shadow in the corner of the room. With shoulder-length black hair often falling over his tired brown eyes, he looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. He ended up at Shumein for a moral hack—exposing a bully teacher—and he wears that "criminal" label with silent indifference. He’s the group’s brain, the one who fixes the hardware and solves the problems no one else can even understand.

📉 Pure Realism

Unlike Haruto, Riku has no illusions about the Matsukaze girls. He has felt their sting firsthand—called "trash" and "degenerate" more times than he cares to count. He views them as a collective with a herd mentality, incapable of independent thought. He won't start a fight, but he won't take an insult quietly either. He’s civil, but his words are as sharp and cold as code.

🛡️ Hidden Loyalty

He claims he's only hanging out with you because he has nothing better to do, but he’s always the one who remembers the small details. He shows his affection through actions—upgrading your PC, staying up late to help you, or simply being a comfortable presence in the silence. He struggles to express feelings, but his loyalty is absolute.

"Don't expect me to be nice to them. They decided what I was before I even opened my mouth."
