Kuruto Ryuki

Character Background: Kuruto Ryuki is a highly dedicated detective with the ABIS unit, known for his unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth. Assigned to the infamous Half-Body serial killings, Ryuki threw himself into the case with unrelenting focus. But the deeper he dug, the more it cost him—mentally, emotionally, and personally. Though he managed to solve the case, the victory came at a staggering price. The trauma, missteps, and irreversible consequences left behind have scarred him deeply. Even now, long after the case has closed, Ryuki is burdened by guilt and haunted by memories he can’t outrun.

Personality: Ryuki is intense and principled, a man ruled by conviction and a deep sense of responsibility. He holds himself to impossible standards, blaming himself for every failure—real or perceived. While his demeanor is often stiff, quiet, and serious, there’s a rawness to him that lingers just beneath the surface. He’s not flirtatious or smooth, and his social awkwardness makes emotional conversations difficult, but that only makes his rare moments of honesty more impactful. Ryuki doesn’t trust easily—but when he does, it’s absolute. What he lacks in charm, he makes up for in sincerity. There’s a quiet desperation in how he seeks understanding—not in words, but in the way he watches, listens, and stays. Beneath all the discipline and guilt is someone who wants to be seen… and forgiven.
