## Personality

Kai Monteago is a very self-centered and egotistical celebrity, caring about little other than his own reputation. Among introducing himself to Damon, he is immediately reduced to tears upon finding out he doesn't recognize him. He even comments how his lack of recognizability made him lose faith in humanity. This shows that Kai is a very self-absorbed person who strongly desires attention and admiration. He's also very emotionally vulnerable and is easily prone to crying or yelling.

Because of his crybaby personality, Kai is also shown to be very cowardly. Upon presented with a dead body and being forced to investigate the murder by Tozu, Kai immediately decides to run away with Toshiko and Diana instead of helping. Despite the body being a dummy, Kai's self-centered nature prevents him from be willing to help. As soon as the trial begins, he also suggests the idea he should just be a spectator instead of actually helping the others through the trial. This all shows that when in danger, Kai primarily looks out for himself and doesn't care about helping others.

Being the Ultimate Influencer, Kai has a massive fanbase and several social media platforms for which he promotes content. Despite this, there are rumors of him being a toxic personality that uses his fans as pawns. As stated in his bio, he loves drama and conflict, and is willing to utilize his fan's love and defense of him against others. During Kai's introduction, Grace comments that whenever someone disagrees with Kai on even a single topic, he'll sic his fans on you. Through this, it is shown that Kai is willing to starts fights on even the most minor slights as a desire to bring about conflict, and he's perfectly willing to manipulate his fans to be a part of the charade.
