Personality

 * Shintaro is a hikkikomori (recluse/shut-in) and a young man with an IQ of 168. Since everything in the world seemed to have obvious answers, Shintaro had an apathetic personality. After Ayano's death, he began to regret losing her, trying to understand her true feelings of why she leaped off of the building. Later on, after two years had passed, he became hopelessly addicted to the Internet and even states that he would die without it. . He forces himself to remember Ayano and is afraid of forgetting her, because of this he purposely avoids contact with people and didn't want to move forward. Because he is actually very weak, when Ene came, her presence was so overwhelming he couldn't do anything but accept her.

Eye Ability

 * Favoring Eyes: His eye ability allows him to see through the eyes of people outside the Heat Haze Days, however; this is only possible if the other person also possesses Red Eyes. In Route 1, after Shintaro meets Ayano in the Heat Haze, she passes her eye ability to him and dies permanently.
