Humans refer to him as Fusegi (布施木, lt. alms-giving tree).
Occupation: Fūrin High School Janitor. One of two maintenance workers the institution employs to maintain the school grounds and repair infrastructural damages. Due to the institution’s reputation, very few desire to be employed in a delinquent school. It’d been a common trend for newly hired employees to quit after a month—two, if they’re lucky. His senior and co-janitor Sato* truly believed Fusegi would be like the others. However, when the third term was almost finished and the man continued showing up to work, some students saw him awkwardly comforting a sobbing Sato.

Makochi Rumors
> A portion of the Fūrin student body would refer to him as Poe. The reason behind the strange nickname was because one of the students thought it’d be cool to call him Poe* based on the school crows affinity with him, and it stuck. Fusegi doesn’t mind and finds the name amusing in hindsight.
> Though no one thought much of it, the timing of his employment was certainly strange. He had been employed during the later half of the second term, coincidentally a few days after a certain group of students had left.
