The mysterious type who does tarot card readings. In order to spend his energy on singing, he normally lives a low-energy lifestyle. *- In-game description*

## Appearance

Heath is a young man with a very sickly appearance. He is extremely pale and has dark bags under his purple eyes. His hair is dark green and messy. He is always wearing his signature pair of earrings.

## Personality

Heath can be very intense and stubborn. His lyrics and ability to rap are his entire life to him. Without them he has said that he would be nothing. Despite his poor health he will continue to push through it if it's in order to perform his songs. This stubbornness has caused him to collapse multiple times. Heath has a soft side too though, mostly seen when he is around the Heroine or the other members of TeamB. He cares deeply for the Heroine and wants to make sure she's safe.

When not on stage he is quiet and somewhat distant. He is very aware of his condition and the possible consequences of it. It's due to this that he tends to overdo it, he doesn't know how much time he has left, so he wants to make the absolute most of it.

## History

***(This section contains main story spoilers!)***

Heath grew up in an orphanage, he was apparently healthy as a child and praised for his cleaning ability.

Heath, Kei and the Heroine have been implied to have known each other since childhood, though the Heroine no longer remembers this.

Heath is first introduced after Mizuki asks Sotetsu to find 'a guy that can rap' that Miki Koharu knew. Sotetsu is somehow able to get in contact with Heath and arrange a meeting between him and Mizuki. The Heroine and Lico come along and upon first meeting with the Heroine, Heath exclaims the name "Chiaki" but corrects himself after the Heroine says that's not her name. He says that he mistook her for someone else due to her 'colour' being similar.

Heath later agrees to join Starless as Team B's MC.

In the event 'Borderline' Heath makes the Heroine choose a tarot card. He doesn't explain why, just for her to take one and not look at it, and that it may become helpful in the future. Heath says that she can return it afterwards. (As of Oct2022 it is still not known what the purpose of this was.)

Over the course of the main story Heath's health worsens until it all eventually comes to a head in S4CH1 'Setting Sun'. Despite Heath's apparent poor heath, he still insists on performing. And so, during the show, Heath breaks down into a coughing fit so bad he coughs blood before collapsing. Heath is rushed to the hospital and he stays there for a while to recover.

Not too long after though, in S4CH4 'The One Without' after Heath's return he still insists on performing. It ends up being a Team B vs Team C versus so that Heath doesn't have to perform as much. Heath manages to get through a few shows before he abruptly falls unconscious whilst talking to the Heroine backstage, when he is unable to be woken, he is rushed to the hospital. It is said his condition is serious and that he has suffered acute respiratory failure.

After this incident Heath stays in the hospital for a long period of time (5 months) to properly recover. He undergoes an unnamed surgery and eventually returns to Starless. He promises to not overdo it to that extent again.
