▮ Get to know a Takeru!

❱❱ If you actually want to get in touch with Takeru, you’d better call him. Asking him to do anything else with his phone is like taking a shot in the dark: you’ll either get a reply back or you won’t—in fact, most of the time, you won’t. His phone’s older so texting takes him awhile and email-

Takeru doesn’t even have his own email. Back home, whenever he needed one to log in to something, he’d use Kiku’s instead.

❱❱ Can Takeru cook? Sure, as long as his ‘meal’ involves the microwave! He can boil water and make simple things to eat, too; he’s kitchen savvy enough to where he won’t die before he makes it back home to his grandparents…but grabbing something from Den City’s local fast food restaurants and raiding Cafe Nagi for free hot dogs and coffee is still a lot easier. 

—

❱❱ Takeru still ends up lost in Den City a lot when he’s left to wander the streets by himself. He doesn’t know the town well enough without Yusaku around to find everywhere he wants to check out on his own—and his phone’s too old to have a GPS for him to use on it either (not that he could’ve figured out how to use one anyway).

“Eh, y’know; writin’ an’ singin’ songs, havin’ breakdowns at 3am. The usual. Still hangin’ out wit’ pinky?”

The pocky stick in his mouth made a distinctive pop as Takeru snapped the chocolate covered end off to chew. He’d admit, he wasn’t really paying attention to much of his surroundings past the treat. Mizunuma and his punks weren’t around and he’d left Kiku behind to run her errands through the shopping district—everything outside of that he’d deemed ‘not important’. 

Well, for the most part anyway.

He wasn’t sure what it was about the spiky haired stranger just a few steps in front of him that’d caught his attention, but Takeru found himself staring. What was his deal? He wasn’t from around here; had Ryujiro recruited him for his older brother and their gang? He fit the part on looks.

character flaws meme;; ❱❱ what’s takeru not want someone to know?

ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴ. Unless you’re part of the very select few that Takeru trusts with the information, his connection to Soulburner as his Link VRAINS avatar is something Takeru won’t ever admit to willingly. Takeru’s never been good with computers, but even he understands there’s a much needed safety net in the disconnect between himself and his online persona, especially considering the people both him and Yusaku are dealing with in their fight inside Link VRAINS.

Takeru may trust you as a friend in the real world, even to the point of admitting he has an account inside Link VRAINS, but learning that his online persona is Soulburner is something that’s kept between himself and no more than three people; all three with a connection to his fight, too.

Another touchy subject Takeru tends to keep under wraps is his past as a whole. The Lost Incident was a tragic situation that caused Takeru an overwhelming amount of suffering at a very young age for an extended amount of time. It’s been ten years since, but the trauma caused by his torture then is something that he’s just now starting to come to terms with—and it’s been a rough ride.
