Description
Kei Okazaki is a 26-year-old officer belonging to the Security Police division of the Metropolitan Police Department, specifically assigned to the Protective Security Unit as a member of the special police force known as the SP. He possesses a calm and approachable demeanor, often seen with a gentle smile on his face, though this affable exterior belies a much more complex and perceptive individual. Standing at 175 centimeters, he has silver hair with subtle brown tips and purple eyes, and he typically wears his police jacket draped over one shoulder.

Okazaki’s personality is marked by a striking contrast between his surface-level behavior and his internal reality. He frequently appears as a carefree and somewhat absent-minded airhead, a natural charmer who is unbothered by social conventions and seemingly drifts through interactions at his own unhurried pace. He is known for his peculiar hobbies, which include collecting strangely flavored snacks, falling asleep instantly almost anywhere, and watching horror films. However, this drowsy and pleasant guise is a tool; he is exceptionally sharp, has a remarkable ability to detect danger, and possesses an unexpectedly stubborn core. He can quickly drop his affable act when the situation demands it, revealing a focused and serious professional. This quality has made him a subject of suspicion among his colleagues in the detective agency, though he remains unfazed and genuinely wishes to build good relations with them.

The primary driving force behind Okazaki’s actions is rooted in a traumatic event from two years prior, during a mission to protect a prime minister from an assassination plot. On that day, a fatal security leak occurred, and in a moment of hesitation where he attempted to save someone already beyond help, his fellow SP officer sacrificed their own life to protect him. It was later discovered that this same colleague was a mole for the terrorist organization Adonis, a truth that Okazaki struggles to reconcile with the reality of their death. This experience instilled in him a profound sense of survivor's guilt and a specific, troubling motivation: a death wish. He resolved that his life, which he believes was saved in error, must have a death with meaning. He seeks a person of strong conviction and justice whom he deems worthy of protection, with the goal of ultimately sacrificing his own life for theirs.

Within the narrative, Okazaki’s official role is to provide security for the members of a detective agency, though his true orders are to monitor their activities and report back to police headquarters. This places him in a unique position, as he is an outsider to the core investigative team yet continuously present on its fringes, creating a dynamic of cautious proximity. His most significant relationship is with the protagonist, to whom he becomes increasingly close. This partnership forces a direct confrontation with his destructive psychology. She actively rejects his desire to be a martyr, insisting that he live for her instead of die for her, leading to significant conflict between them—including a temporary separation—before he begins to reconsider his worldview.

Over the course of the story, Okazaki undergoes considerable development, gradually moving away from his passive acceptance of death. His connection with the protagonist becomes the catalyst for him to find value in living, appreciating small joys like food and movies rather than seeking a grand, sacrificial end. While he may never fully abandon his protective instincts, he learns to prioritize a future together over a heroic demise. Despite his often-clumsy handling of everyday tasks, being notably inept with household chores and famously destructive with家用电器, Okazaki is highly capable in his field. His notable abilities include expert marksmanship, proficiency in judo and swordsmanship, an uncanny knack for moving without being detected, and an incredibly sharp nose for sensing danger.
