WARNINGS: brief mentions of death
4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
he has, but he almost never talks about it. the only person who knows what actually happened is sanae. joshua and neku know that something happened that messed with benji, but he hasn’t ever actually told either of them.
5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
on an average day, he’s usually got his phone, a pair of earbuds, his wallet, and his mp3 player in his pockets! he also sometimes has a small stuffed animal, like a keychain, in his pockets that stays on his lanyard with his keys.
12. In what situation was your character the most calm they’ve ever been?
oddly enough, it was his first meeting with sanae. sanae just has a calming energy to him.
14. Does your character remember names or faces easier?
he has a much easier time with faces! although matching a name to the face... that’s difficult for him.
17. What was your character’s favorite toy as a child?
this is actually based off of one i’ve had since i was a little kid! he has a purple cat stuffed animal that he’s had since he was a child, and it’s been his favorite for years. (i’ll actually take a picture and show y’all tomorrow!)
18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?
he’s much more likely to admire wisdom in others.
20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?
he has a bad habit of comparing his masculinity to those around him, usually in a sense of self-criticism. he also compares his kindness to others, again, as a form of self-criticism.
22. What does your character like in other people?
he really likes naturally calm people! it balances him out. also kindness. even if he’s stubborn about people being nice to him, he likes that about others.
23. What does your character dislike in other people?
he dislikes overtly rude people he doesn’t know. as in, if someone is rude to him on purpose to be mean during a first meeting, he dislikes that.
25. How quick is your character to suspect someone else? Does this change if they are close with that person?
he’s paranoid and distrustful by nature, so he’s quick to suspect or accuse someone else. it changes drastically if he’s close with that person. if he’s close with the person, he’ll defend them rather than suspect them, until given evidence otherwise.
29. What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?
growing up, he wanted to be a veterinarian, but he never really got a chance to due to dying halfway through his education at age 23.
35. How does your character behave around people they like?
with people he likes, he’s typically very affectionate, although he can be stubborn and rude about it. either way, if he likes you, you will know. he’s very open about that sort of thing.
36. How does your character behave around people they dislike?
He has a tendency to be incredibly snarky and sarcastic, being rude on purpose, and will often pick fights with those he strongly dislikes.

Humming quietly, Benji approached the nearby cafe, glancing up at the sign. WildKat. The cafe had been slowly becoming like a second home to the adult, considering how much time he spent there drawing. With a small yawn, he held onto his bookbag a little tighter before heading inside.
He was greeted by the barista, who spoke up, “Welcome to WildKat.”
Benji nodded slightly to him with a smile as he approached the counter to order his drink.
“Your usual, boss?” Sanae spoke up, to which Benji nodded in response.
“Yeah, vanilla latte, two packets of sugar. Thanks,” he murmured before going and sitting down at a table. It didn’t take him long to grab out his sketchbook from his bag. Benji took a quick glance around the cafe to take in his surroundings, then proceeded to get to work on his latest piece.
Sanae approached the table a couple minutes later with Benji’s drink in hand, gently setting it down. “You’ve been working on that an awful lot the past few days, haven’t you?”
“Oh… This? Yeah, I have been.”
“Mind if I sit with you while you work on it?”
“Don’t… Don’t you have a job to do?”
“Things are quiet, you’re the only customer I’ve got today. I’ve got the time.”
“Well… Don’t let me stop you…” Benji trailed off. He’d been coming here for at least a month now, and he still didn’t know the barista’s name.
“Hanekoma. Sanae Hanekoma.”
“Oh, well, don’t let me stop you, Mr. Hanekoma. I’m Benji,” he spoke quietly as he introduced himself. He couldn’t help but feel a bit shy.
“Benji, huh? A handsome name for a guy like you,” Sanae responded as he pulled up a chair to sit across the table from the other man. “You’ve got good taste in coffee, y’know.”
“Oh, uh…” He paused, too flustered to speak for the moment. “Th-thank you,” he murmured, fidgeting with his pencil.
“What’s this piece you’ve been working on?” Sanae asked, picking up on Benji’s shyness and deciding to redirect the conversation to a different topic.
“Oh, it’s gonna be a painting of CAT’s Udagawa mural, assuming… You know what I’m talking about?”
“I think everyone knows the Udagawa mural, Benji,” the black haired man responded with a smile.
“That’s true… Well! I’ve spent some time photographing it so I’ve got references to work on it, and… Maybe I’ll have it done by the end of next week, I’m not sure…”
“Well, I’d love to see it when you finish it. From the looks of it, you’ve got a good understanding of the energy surrounding the mural,” Sanae continued, drumming his fingertips on the table.
Benji nodded again, finally taking a moment to drink his coffee.
“Why don’t you give me a few minutes, I’m gonna make myself something to drink and I’ll come back and sit with you. You’re welcome to spend as much time here as you’d like and I’ll keep you company. Sound good to you, Benji?”
“Sounds fine to me,” he murmured, smiling.
And so, he ended up spending nearly the whole rest of the day at WildKat, getting to know Sanae over a pot of coffee while working on art.
