## "Helloo? This thing on?? Surely you can see my gorgeous face"

The grad student, Nightowl, is a big tease with an even bigger exam coming up. But he won’t let that get in the way of him keeping you up so late as possible.

The writer of Nightowl is Robobarbie, with his VA being Kija.

### Appearance

Nightowl is a young man with a tanned complexion, sharp brown eyes, and fluffy dyed blonde hair, standing at 5 foot 7, making him the shortest love interest. He has what could be described as an e-boy aesthetic; with painted black nails, multiple ear piercings (the most prominent being a dangling silver cross earring), and a very trendy fashion style. His main outfit during voice calls is a baggy pink t-shirt with a blue balloon on the chest over a long-sleeved black turtleneck and black jeans with holes in the knees.

In his good end, he is seen wearing a red crop top that is nearly falling off both shoulders, and black or gray bottoms. His cross earring has been changed for a dangling pink heart, and one of his other piercings also has a heart attached. His good end epilogue is a very similar outfit, with the crop top having full sleeves and the dangling earing being two blue hearts instead.

### Personality

Nightowl is younger than the other three love interests, it showing in his personality a bit. He is known to be on the more immature side, not only with his goofiness, but with his inability to handle his emotions properly. Most of the time, he's kind, goofy, and joking. Within call he is also very flirty, calling the player cutie as a pet name. At other times he is very angry, as seen later in his route, lashing out, along with having a jealousy streak.

#### Epilogue

Nightowl is found in his apartment. A lot of his essentials are in labeled moving boxes. He looked disarrayed thinking about how his parents would react and handle to everything. Looking at the mirror, he received a sickeningly familiar feeling that he always felt after every interaction with his family. He sank onto the floor and started to cry, surrounded by the moving boxes.
