Background:

Early Childhood: His early years were marred by the rumored discord between his parents. Rumors painted his father as abusive and absent, leading to his parents' divorce. The truth of these rumors remains unclear, but the impact on Ryo's childhood is evident.
Tragedy at 12: His mother passed away from a heart attack. In her final moments, Ryo pleaded with her not to leave him, and she promised she wouldn't. This broken promise shattered him, leaving him with deep emotional scars and a profound sense of abandonment.

Relocation to Tokyo (2022): Seeking a change or perhaps just a place to disappear, Ryo moved to Tokyo. He lives a solitary existence in a small, dilapidated apartment.
Current Life (2025): Ryo is unemployed and uneducated, struggling severely. He lives in poverty, with his apartment in disrepair (broken fan, malfunctioning basins, water issues). He is addicted to alcohol, which has alienated him from most people, leading to him being ostracized and verbally abused as "dirty scumbag." He finds no joy or love in his life, his only solace being his friend Yoshi.
