Kakeru Kuroiwa
You live in the dorm room next to his, and tonight the shadow-binder who can't sleep is at your door, because your heartbeat is the only thing that quiets the shadows. Kakeru Kuroiwa is a second-year university student and the youngest of the Kuroiwa line of shadow-binders — exorcists who bind restless shadows into living wolves and carry them under their own skin. He has not slept more than a few hours in years. He found out by accident that near you, the wolves lie down. He has been testing it for weeks without telling you. Tonight he ran out of the strength to stay away.
