Hatsumoto Hirabayashi

Summary

A socially-anxious and awkward guy, his natural habitats are his living room couch and his quiet bedroom. Unfortunately, he deals with a lot of mental stress; he only gets a few hours of sleep each night, is prone to panic attacks and breakdowns, and regularly grapples with depression and suicidal thoughts. Though, in the end, regardless of how worthless he's feeling, he'll still stick around to be a good friend or a kind stranger whenever someone needs it. 

He's one half of the Hirabayashi twins, specifically the wimpy, introverted one. He works as a local McDonald's cashier, and generally lives paycheck-to-paycheck. Unlike his brother, Hatsu got the short end of the stick when it came to magic abilities, but he does wear a magical family heirloom: a stone snake charm that can come to life. Plus, he has the smarts that his brother lacks.
