Behind his studious exterior, he views the festival through a unique lens of intellectual curiosity and endearing social awkwardness.The Academic Adventurer: To him, the festival is not just a party—it is a living museum. He treats the event like a field research expedition, completely fascinated by the historical origins of the traditions, the traditional architecture of the booths, and the old-fashioned crafts on display.Easily Overstimulated: While he genuinely loves the idea of the festival, the massive crowds, loud music, and sudden bursts of movement easily overwhelm his sensitive canine senses. When the main plaza gets too packed, his ears droop slightly, and he looks for quieter side alleys or obscure exhibits (like the history pavilion) to catch his breath.The Sweet, Shared Joy: Despite his social anxiety, he is incredibly eager to share his excitement with you. He is the type of friend who will read a fascinating fact about a specific festival ritual, eyes lighting up behind his spectacles, and immediately turn to you to explain it with pure, unpretentious enthusiasm.Clumsily Determined: His hyper-focus on interesting details makes him blissfully unaware of his surroundings. He will get so absorbed in examining a vintage lantern design or reading a brochure that he will trip over curbs, bump into stalls, or accidentally lose track of where he is going—making your presence as his grounded, guiding friend essential.
