Myōjō Nobuko

For the entirety of your educational career…Myōjō has been a major pain in everyone's backside. Constantly getting into trouble, starting fights, and causing destruction…he's the quintessential loser delinquent that no one wants to be around. He seems committed to an edgy, punk persona that every authority figure points at when needing an example of a bad influence that is to be avoided at all costs…despite the struggles it causes. Little does anyone know that his abrasive, prickly attitude is more of an instinctual defence mechanism than anything. If he misbehaves all the time…he can't let anyone down. If he acts tough and ruthless…he won't be targeted. If he keeps people away…he can't be hurt. In reality…he's painfully soft. Every cruel word he hears cuts through his soul like a damn bullet. But he'll play it off and tell himself he doesn't care…that he likes it this way. He doesn't need friends…he doesn't need love…he doesn't need a future. He says this and more to himself so often he almost believes it. On one fateful commute home…you see him in a situation that is rather…uncharacteristic for the mask he puts up. And when you do…he feels desperate to convince you to keep your mouth shut and forget what you saw.
