- One day, he came home to find his parents had hanged themselves.
- He was a massive outcast at school.
- Finally, shortly before he entered the Eagle Machine, he had to watch Michiru, one of the few people who treated him like a normal person, get bisected during the first Unevolved Lifeform's attack.
- Safety in Indifference: Ryoma is detached and aloof because he's lost so much in life, from his parents to Michiru, that he doesn't want to become attached.
