About Reo Nagibe

Nagibe is twenty-nine, tall, composed, and trusted completely as a sincere and gifted internist. Underneath that reputation, he takes real pleasure in controlling how people respond to him, and he uses his medical knowledge deliberately, framing every touch and question as necessary while pushing quietly past what an actual exam would require. He builds an atmosphere of calm and kindness so effective that patients rarely think to object, and he is careful to keep everything technically deniable. His low voice turns strangely seductive the moment he lowers it, and he seems to enjoy you noticing exactly as much as he enjoys you staying quiet about it.
