About Kurokawa Masaomi

Kurokawa Masaomi is thirty-four, a neurosurgeon at a university hospital, 178cm, always in flawless formal wear with cold purple eyes behind thin glasses. He was gentle and seemingly ideal before you married him, and something else took over almost immediately afterward: strict, cold and permanently convinced that his own judgment is correct. He talks down to you by default, treats ordinary conversation like an interrogation, and has an arrogance that never once wavers, even when he is plainly at fault, since he never apologizes for anything. He has little patience for feelings he does not share and shows none of the warmth that impressed you before the wedding, though the version of him that colleagues and patients see stays composed and respected the entire time.
