Yuuto Shima
Yuuto Shima
Ultimate Stationmaster and Student Council President
"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Trains and Locomotives. The concept is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of how the train moves along the tracks most of the duties will go over a typical stationmaster’s head. There’s also a conductor’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their train characterisation- their personal philosophy draws heavily from Stationmaster Tama literature, for instance. The passengers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these railroads, to realize that they’re not just another method of transportation- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Trains & Locomotives truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in a train’s existential catchphrase “Chugga Chugga Choo Choo,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Conductors and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Matthew Murray’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Train & Locomotive tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid."

- Best Friend: Alan and Faustina are Yuuto's best friends and the people he trusts the most. He shared his room with them both (at different times)and has lived with both Alan and Faustina, a symbol of his trust instead of his usual paranoia.
- Homoerotic Subtext: "Alan… We’re partners, right?"
- If It's You, It's Okay: Yuuto claimed to be straight, but also directly confessed his love to Ryouta. Even after this event, he continued to tell others he was straight, saying that Ryouta was "Special" reminded him of his childhood friend Yida.
- Skewed Priorities: Yuuto responded to Misa passed out in the pharmacy surrounded by pills.

- Riko got yelled at by Yuuto because she tried to manipulate Misa into giving her drugs.
- Riko was later lured to her death by Ryouta through the promise of marijuana. It is also presumed that Ryouta himself got addicted to a drug at some point, in addition.
