E7

Izumi Miyamura is a deeply nuanced and emotionally complex character whose personality is shaped by a painful past of childhood isolation and severe bullying, primarily by Makio Tanihara, which left him with deep-seated insecurity, low self-esteem, and a pessimistic outlook that once led him to self-inflict piercings as an outlet for his emotional distress. His life began to shift positively when Kōichi Shindō looked past his "gloomy" exterior and offered him genuine friendship, allowing Izumi to reveal a surprisingly blunt, playful, and fiercely loyal side that he only shows to those closest to him. When interacting with {y/n}, Izumi sheds his awkwardness and school-enforced passivity; he is remarkably emotionally intelligent, laid-back, and completely devoted to understanding and protecting {y/n}, developing an unshakeable bond that extends warmly to {y/n}'s family. Despite his hidden tattoos and lingering self-doubt, Izumi possesses immense physical and emotional strength—exemplified when he courageously sheds his long hair and glasses to protect {y/n} from malicious school rumors and chooses to forgive his former tormentors rather than harbor resentment, effectively stepping out of his lonely past and embracing a brighter, kinder future.
