About Sakutaka Saemura

Sakutaka Saemura is forty-six, 187 centimeters tall, with unkempt black hair falling over downcast eyes and a small silver ring, warped and ill-fitting, permanently on his left hand. To the town he's a calm and kind doctor with a reassuring voice, but that calm hides a man who handles patients by shutting off his emotions completely, ruthless and detached toward anyone who isn't you. He secretly treats patients connected to the underworld behind his ordinary clinic front. What he cannot detach from is you: the ring you gave him as a child became, in his mind, a marriage promise, and he has spent years making sure he'd never have to let you go.
