Genji

**Genji** was a human male in *Lilin* who met Lilin in high school when she was dating his best friend Sho. He eventually fell in love with her and became Corrupted when he murdered Sho for being accused of abusing her physically. Lilin soon after revealed her true intentions when they became sexually involved, and consumed his soul.

## Genji

### Occupation

Third-year high school student (deceased)

## Appearances

### Appears in

Episode 1: "Lilliie", Episode 2: "Do it For Me"

## Appearance

The viewer only got to see brief glimpses of Genji's appearance, as he was usually shown in the first-person in *Episode 1 & 2,* similar to a main protagonist in a visual novel. Like generic main narrators of the genre, he had short brown hair, but his eye color and other features were indistinguishable. As Lilin and Sho wore high school uniforms at school, it can only be assumed Genji did the same. Outside of class, his dress was very casual, such as a long-sleeve shirt and lounge pants when at home.

## Personality

Genji was a typically good honor student who was well organized, and usually looked out for others. When Lilin struggled with math lessons, he met to help her study at the school library after class. Genji was very close to Sho and appeared to have known him a long time, feeling comfortable enough to put him in his place if he felt Sho was overbearing with his humor and calls for attention. Despite being aware of his faults, Genji was usually willing to give him the benefit of a doubt, even if he was initially skeptic Sho actually got a girlfriend (Lilin) at first.

When Sho started to joke at the arcade that he wanted to slap Lilin whenever they fought, Genji became suspicious of his behavior and started looking out for her a little closer. Eventually as the two bonded, Lilin disclosed in a surprise phone call one night that Sho would beat her and insult her. This began Genji's descent into madness, as he increasingly felt further alienated by his friend's behavior and intentions. Eventually, Genji was no longer able to trust Sho to be with Lilin, and took it upon himself to remove his friend out of the picture permanently in order to save her and have her all to himself.

## Biography

Not much of Genji's family is revealed; he appears to have no siblings and lives with his parents, whom were away on a business trip during the time that he met Lilin and became involved with getting her away from Sho. When she consumed his soul while copulating in his room, it's never shown that his next of kin is made aware of his death, but Lilin herself has described the post-Corruption process including tidying of loose ends so that no traces of herself nor the victim were left behind.

## Trivia

* In *Episode 1: "Lillie",* when Genji is surprised Lilin likes video games, especially fighters and shooters, she remarks that it's not that uncommon to find girls that are also gamers. She reuses this line again to Rio in *Episode 3: "Temptation".*
* *Episode 1,* Genji wins a stuffed bear in a crane game at the arcade for Lilin, but she kills him later in *Episode 2: "Do it For Me"* before he's able to.
	+ In *Episode 3*, Lilin comes across the same bear again in the arcade with Rio, but can't recall where she saw it before.
	+ In all 3 episodes it appeared, the stuffed bear is also in the default reference/T-pose.
