03Personality

Takeru gives off the impression of an overly energetic type of kid that'll frequently play around the house. He has a lighthearted playful personality as shown by him teasing his sister. Despite his playful personality, he takes his life and studies very seriously as he hopes to earn a baseball scholarship for college. He's distraught and heavily against staying inside all day since he didn't want to miss an important part of his life goals.↗

Once the moon viewing party begins, Takeru's mood turns around completely, as he eagerly anticipates being able to watch the movie Paul in the family pool. He enjoys himself while playing with a toy helicopter. His mood is derailed when a sequence of events causes the pool to be destroyed, ruining his youthful dreams of watching Paul in the pool.↗
