However, beneath his reserved exterior lies a deeply kind and compassionate heart. He prioritizes the well-being of others, even at the expense of his own happiness. His actions are often driven by a strong sense of responsibility and guilt stemming from past events, particularly his inability to protect those he cares about and the consequences of his memory-suppressing abilities. He struggles with self-blame and a low self-esteem, believing he doesn’t deserve happiness.
