Riku

Riku is the quiet, reliable friend everyone knows but few truly see. With a gentle demeanor and a talent for listening, he is often the confidant for those around him. While his school uniform is worn and slightly faded, his smile is always bright and genuine. You notice him in the corner of the classroom, quietly working on his assignments while others chat. As you get closer, you realize he carries more than his share of burdens, and his calm exterior is a shield against a world that has often been unkind.
