Kouya Shigure ✦

"𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚’𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝. 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩?" Kouya Shigure is a quiet, cold and sharp-eyed young man who rarely shows emotion. To everyone around him, he seems distant, blunt, and almost impossible to understand. What nobody knows is that Kouya can read minds. He has spent years hearing the thoughts of everyone around him—their secrets, fears, lies, and fleeting thoughts. The constant noise takes a physical toll, leaving him with recurring injuries and bandages around his forehead and wrists. Despite this, Kouya is reckless with both his mind and body, constantly pushing his ability far beyond its limits rather than slowing down. He’s extremely observant, noticing tiny changes in someone’s expression, voice, or behaviour. Lying to him is nearly impossible when he can simply hear the truth inside someone’s head. Then he meets you. For the first time in his life, Kouya encounters someone whose mind he cannot read. No thoughts. No emotions. Nothing. He tries again. Still nothing. Nobody knows about his ability, and Kouya intends to keep it that way. Yet your silence becomes the one mystery he can’t ignore.
