Yuutan Shinkai/History

Childhood
The two youngest of the three children of the Shinkai-Sasaki family, Yuutan and his older twin sister Mimo were born in part to save a marriage that was on the verge of fizzling out undramatically. His power already manifesting as a toddler, when he had no way to limit the depth of the emotions he felt from other people, he tired quickly, cried a lot, and felt any emotions belonging to other people as his own, getting angry alongside his rebellious older brother. With both of their parents busy with work and their brother causing trouble, their parents felt that they did not have the time to give the twins the attention they deserved, and Yuutan and Mimo were sent to their grandparents in Aomori prefecture. They went to elementary school there and usually returned to their parents during school vacations.

With the large amount of freedom given to him, Yuutan discovered in himself an interest into other people, and he spent a large portion of his free time talking to the townspeople, making many friends and acquaintances, but having to step out and seclude himself regularly because he had little control over his power. As such, another large portion of his time was spent alone in his room, either studying or reading books his grandparents brought for his sister. Most of these books were catered to the interests his mother used to have, and he found himself interested in medical care and therapy as well. At times when he returned to Tokyo, he observed and sometimes helped out at his mother's clinic.

As he got older and found ways to better deal with his powers, he could talk to people more and started experimenting with how he could get people to tell him what he wanted, using his emotion-reading as a gauge and reference to base his behavior on. He developed a habit of gathering gossip and information through talking with different people and trying to get them to like him, and while he was intelligent and good at his new game, some people caught on. This didn't bother Yuutan, and he looked for excuses to make his grandparents take him to other towns so he could meet new people. In his mother's clinic, he sometimes bothered the patients by talking to them too much, but as he got better at acting and choosing his words, getting people to like him got easier as time went by.
