Personality
Surface Level
"Some say he's a trouble maker, some say he's the best student in school, whichever it is, everyone knows that Hyugo is a very reliable person. However, due to his duties -- be it personal or the school asking for his services -- he tends to not attend his class, thus earning the title: 'Mister MIA' (but he gets graded regardless due to his services to the school)."
"He is often seen hanging out at the school's rooftop. Despite being warned he's forbidden from entering, he somehow still manages to enter the rooftop to the point the staff just leaves him be. Hyugo is a fun and loving person, getting excited with the tiniest bit of newfound fact or trivia. Because of his bubbly personality, he gets along with almost anyone."
Hidden Depths
Despite having a "cheerful" personality, Hyugo can be:
- Two-faced
- Prone to doing dangerous things
- Threatening - threatened to slice Y/N's neck at the rooftop
- Armed - aimed his pistol at the Rough Voice if he, Sol, and the Player visit the cinema together
He shows hatred for the College, skipping most classes and seeing the institution as an unfair, corrupt place where only the Higher-Class gets treated better than the Lower-Class.
