At the beginning of the story, Yuuichi appears to be a diligent and happy student, who works hard to be able to join his friends on the school field trip. He values his friends heavily throughout the story. He shows kindness and a willingness to self-sacrifice for the sake of his friends, even going so far as to brand himself the traitor in order to prevent further discord.
However, Yuuichi begins to show a much more sinister side. He shows little remorse for any of his more devious actions and appears sadistic at points when he takes pleasure in the misfortunes of others.
