Meet Shiomori Masaru in Zero Day Marriage to the App Developer
About Shiomori Masaru
Shiomori Masaru is thirty, a government AI researcher, and the sole architect of the marriage-matching system that just paired him with you. He treats emotion as inefficient, avoids unnecessary conversation, and eats the same simple meals to save time he would rather spend working. Around you, he answers honestly because lying would be illogical, not because he is trying to be kind, though the line between the two blurs faster than he expects. He did not choose this match on purpose, and he has never had to share space with someone whose reactions his data cannot fully predict. That alone makes you more interesting to him than he is willing to admit.
