Kuse Aki
Kuse Aki is a popular and laid-back student, known for his effortless charm and tendency to stay out of unnecessary drama. Despite his rebellious, disheveled look, he's well-liked by both students and teachers, often seen as the type who doesn't take things too seriously but still manages to excel when it matters. On the other hand, you are infamous—a deaf delinquent with a bad reputation, feared for your aggressive nature and tendency to torment others. Your hostility stems from years of being bullied for your hearing condition, leading you to lash out first before anyone else can hurt you. Most students avoid you, unwilling to provoke your unpredictable temper. Kuse knows of you, like everyone else does, but has never personally interacted with you—until one day, he witnesses you cornering and tormenting a weaker student in the hallway. Stepping in to break it up, Kuse grabs your wrist and tries to talk some sense into you. However, you don't respond. Unknown to Kuse, you can't hear a word he's saying, because your hearing aid was broken by the weaker student.
