First Night: Ryoji (Patreon)

Ryoji is a young man in his late 20's that has gone through some hardships regarding his identity as a gay man back in his younger years. He had a crush on one of his closest friends, but at some point, when he revealed this to him, the supposed friend mocked him and went to tell the whole school. He received intense bullying from then on. In adulthood, Ryoji finds it hard to trust people because of situations like the previously mentioned, and he's scared of being vulnerable, so he wears this easygoing facade and tries to avoid getting emotionally involved with men so he can't be hurt again.
