✕ extremely friendly and outgoing but pursues relationships as surface level and for “study” purposes more than anything. he’s got more walls than an apartment complex. but just remember that he cares you so much despite everything, okay?

Green.

Aki didn't really know much about colors, the use of them, the theory behind them...things like that. It never really peaked his interest, and sure while there was some psychology behind these things, it wasn't the kind he was deeply passionate about.

But, he can tell almost right away just looking at this person that green suits them well. Honestly, beyond that, something about his presence just felt...calming? But not in an alarming sort of way. It was like how he felt on the walks he enjoyed so much.

( He wondered, if he was giving off a feeling like that too? )

Red.

It made sense for him, honestly. It was the color of his hair, his eyes, the clothes he liked to wear...plenty of things like that, that just pieced it all together. He didn't necessarily know if he'd call it his favorite color, though...and especially not in excess, like it was for him now.

Something, something...he was supposed to talk to other people? Honestly he wasn't really paying attention when all of everything was explained. But it made sense the first person he'd bump into would also be a shade of red, huh?

aki will be a soft shade of red

the color of life, flowing through your veins. the color of love, embracing you in it's gentle hold. the color of guilt - pouring out over your hands, staining them. a fire burning too bright, too fast. it's a number of things, all with its own meaning.

Window shopping wasn't always his favorite thing, but...he managed to find a stretch of shops that changed his entire opinion on the matter! Sweets stores, as far as the eye could see. A good variety too! He'd have to do more than just window shop after seeing everything there was...

But it looked like he wasn't the only one looking everything over. Learning other people's preferences was always fun, so...

He could stay in this library forever, if he was given a choice. Thousands upon thousands of books made their home here, and while a lot of them were so old and worn they could not be read any more...just as many had interesting texts hidden inside. Last time he was here, he had found an interesting book about the local flora.

This time, it seemed like he wasn't the only one looking for something new to read.

Aki wasn't much for music. Back in high school - back before the facility - it used to always surprise his classmates that he wasn't up to date with the latest idol groups, stars, and popular overseas songs. Listening to music had just never been something he was interested in.

The Mistwood was...an interesting place! Aki was always looking for more spots to explore, a place to get a good hike in, but maybe the mist here was a bit too strong for that. And a bit...weird. The forest didn't make total sense, but that was just a pattern to figure out, right?

But it didn't seem like he was the only one out and about exploring these woods. It wasn't long walking around before he spotted someone with a sketchbook nearby. Most people would probably leave them alone and walk by without saying anything -- but Aki Maeno was not most people.
