Takuma Sanada is the kind of man who always tries to be proper.
He keeps his posture straight.He chooses his words carefully.He does not let his expression fall apart.The more someone is watching, the harder he tries to stay composed.
But sometimes, that seriousness becomes a weight he places on himself.
Even when he is sweating, even when his breathing grows uneven,even when something inside him begins to stir,Takuma still tries to say, “I’m fine.”
That is what makes his face so compelling.
The face of someone trying to remain calm, yet failing to hide everything.The face of someone who wants to stay proper, while his body begins to tell the truth.

真田拓真は、いつも正しくあろうとする男だ。
姿勢を崩さない。言葉を選ぶ。表情を乱さない。誰かに見られている時ほど、きちんとしていようとする。
でも、その真面目さは時々、彼自身を苦しめる。
汗をかいても、息が上がっても、胸の奥で何かが揺れていても、拓真はまだ「大丈夫です」と言おうとする。
その顔が好きだ。
平静を保とうとしているのに、隠しきれていない顔。きちんとしていたいのに、身体だけが正直になっていく顔。
