Shou is a man who identifies as transgender. Prior to meeting Mayu, Shou was employed at a bar owned by Shuichi Wagatsuma. After becoming romantically involved with Mayu, he discovered that she too had fallen in love with him despite not initially realizing his gender identity. However, upon learning the truth, Mayu abruptly ended their relationship, causing Shou to transform into a malevolent creature known as a shadow monster. Inspired by Aya's words, Shouko was able to release the inner turmoil and become the embodiment of her true self, ultimately resolving the conflict.
