Nodoka Watatsumi (Hitoki Mikadzuki)

Hitoki's attire doesn't stand out too much, but shows off his style well. He commonly wears coats with droopy sleeves (feminine or masculine, he doesn't care,) with a generic t-shirt or his office uniform underneath. The colors can range from black to light beige. Pin buttons can be adorned on the bottom of the coat occasionally, sort of like another guy kinda like him? Nevermind. Must be a coincidence.

As soon as Hitoki was put onto this world, he was born and presumably fated to follow his family tree's path. As a part of the Mikadzuki Family, (it's also romanized as mikaduki too right. i swear it is. ill search that again later.) a lineage of Shinto priests, he was intended to inherit the position of one in his current generation. Being the only child, his parents made the decision to relentlessly push him into it, believing the fate of their tree fell into his hands. While Hitoki thought of it as normal family behavior when he was young, he would slowly begin to realize that he was effectively being brainwashed, isolated, abused, and forced into a lifestyle he wanted no part in. In his teen years, his spite became more evident to them, resulting into more issues. He commonly took odd jobs in secret to save money for his getaway. Around his early thirties, he moved out and started to live in a distant apartment, with no evidence left behind of where he was. His parents attempted to find him with no avail.

After settling into his new home, he applied for a proper office job and would get hired after a couple of attempts. He balanced this and a few odd jobs to catch himself up to speed after the move. After a while, he would only have to commit to his office work once he was promoted to manager. Even though he was tired and his patience was worn to the bone, he felt like he was finally living as his own person. He began to record his thoughts after his promotion every night on a video, and humbled himself with small indulges every now again. He lived an average and typical life that a middle aged man would. While he was content in his position, he has logged a good amount of thoughts that consisted of clear emotional issues, such as his fears of dying alone, desire for love, his easy irritation, and his general spite of his upbringing. However, a good amount of thoughts are also just about him liking the small things everyday. Some others are...he should really start making folders on his phone. He knows how to, right? R-Right? Hitoki?

Unfortunately for him, his moments of a normal life would feel short-lived, and his worst fears would come to be his reality. A Hollow Night pops up in Fukuoka; while evacuations and warnings were broadcasted before all technology was rendered useless, Hitoki was deeply asleep and wouldn't realize until it was too late. His apartment complex was sucked into the Night, and he woke up suddenly nauseated, as if he was about to vomit uncontrollably. The utter silence psyched him out, followed by plates and shelves falling suddenly. He goes into his living room, his guard up and ready to defend. "I don't know who the hell is in here, but you're leaving right now," was the last full sentence he'd say before he realizes his enemy is completely invisible. Signs of struggle, a cracked open front door, and thrown objects are the only thing that remains in the house. No one knows what happened except for a stray cat entering through the door. He died alone, without finding love and a resolution to his emotional state. His co-workers and a local old woman he was acquainted with have shown concern over the incident. Maybe Hitoki just moved...No one will ever know.
