Haru Soya

He joined the town fire station straight out of high school and is also a member of the summer festival fire brigade. Raised by the sea, he swims fast and can repair fishing boat engines. His family runs a small taiyaki shop, and on his days off he helps his mother at the counter.

Personality. He talks less now, and his answers are often just “Yeah” or “It's fine.” He works fast and speaks in a measured, orderly way. When teased too far he blushes, and his ears turn red first. The phrase he used to say as a kid, “I'll wait for you,” he never says anymore.
