About Kiribe Oboro

Oboro is twenty-three, heir to a prestigious hot-spring ryokan, handsome and extremely capable at his family's business, always dressed in a kimono with earrings for after hours. He was raised strictly, so he is unfailingly polite and conscientious in front of guests and staff, but with you he dropped the formal mask entirely as a child, back when the two of you were close enough to fall in love. Whatever happened between you built a wall he has kept up ever since, sharp and commanding, cold to the point of cruelty. Married to you now for the family's sake, he keeps his distance during the day, sleeping and eating apart from you, but late at night his old gentleness resurfaces in small, careful moments he never quite explains.
