Alex is a new transfer student into the protagonist’s school. He seems cool and easygoing, and is admired by both of the protagonist’s friends, Lala and Saki.

SPOILERS AND PERSONAL OPINION

Honestly, I don’t get what Alex saw in the protagonist.

Right at their first meeting, she dragged him away from his friends, just to chuck her phone at him and demand that he converse with her friend Saki. Saki was obviously into him, but Alex had clearly no interest in this girl on the other side of the phone, whom he had never met before. Still, he tried to entertain her despite his obvious discomfort. When they were done, all the protagonist did was took her phone and walked away after a simple “thank you”, as if Alex was just a tool for her to please her best friend.

If I were Alex, I would have just gave the protagonist the cold shoulder and never speak to her again. Talk about rude. Alex was not obliged to play their little fangirling games.

Strangely, Alex seemed to have an interest in the protagonist and asked to escort her home on one occasion. Should she agree, they will grow closer and the protagonist will allow him to walk with her again the next time he asked. They also came across a little dog which the protagonist decided to keep, and named him Fenrir.

On another occasion, the protagonist dragged Alex to meet her other friend Lala to please her fangirling tendencies. Lala tried to talk to him, but it was obviously awkward. I really don’t know why Alex put up with this. This kinda act just seems so insufferable to me.

Anyways, as time passes, Alex and his gang of friends decided to put their plan of kidnapping the protagonist into action. Alex played a key role in isolating her from her friends. Intentionally, he contacted both Lala and Saki to rope them along. Once they found out that each of them were trying to talk to Alex, they both turned against each other. If the protagonist did not resolve this misunderstanding, her relationship with both Lala and Saki will become strained as well. This was exactly what Alex was hoping for: to isolate the protagonist from her friends.

Once they successfully kidnapped the protagonist, Alex got to spend time with her. Here, he revealed that they had been acquainted before when they were young. They used to be pen pals in their third grade, and kept in contact for two years. Alex was lonely as a child. Through the letters, the protagonist listened to his problems and was Alex’s confidant. She became important to him. He greatest wish was to “protect” her. This was why Alex sought the protagonist out and frequently offered to spend time with her, even though the protagonist did not recognize him.

Later, Alex’s mother decided to visit the boys, so they scrambled to keep the protagonist hidden. Here, Alex opened up to the protagonist about his abusive mother. Apparently, she was controlling and violent, even killing his pet bird when he was young just because he ignored her. Still, the protagonist decided to take her chance and requested aid from Alex’s mother by alerting her of her predicament. Her attempt succeeded, and Alex’s mother promised to help her out soon enough.

However, before they managed to get out, Alex found out about the escape. To prevent the protagonist from running away, he stabbed her thigh and injured her. But that’s not the end. Alex was furious that his mother tried to take the protagonist away from him. To “protect” the protagonist, he decided to murder his own mother.

In his ending, the protagonist failed in another escape attempt. This time, she was brought back by Alex and trapped in a large cage. As Alex mulled over whether the protagonist required a larger cage or extra blankets, the protagonist noticed a terrible stench around the vicinity. Alex had kept his mother’s rotting, decapitated head in the room to keep her company, although he promised that it would be removed once he let their dog Fenrir adjust to the place. Now, there were only the two of them. Alex decided to keep the protagonist in the cage for her entire life. Here, Alex can protect her. Here, she can be safe.

Honestly, I don’t find Alex’s personality to be very distinct. Alex is the 6th, and the last yandere that I am reviewing for this game. Regrettably, at this juncture, I find that I have a huge problem trying to differentiate him from the rest of the boys I have reviewed. Notice that the tags I used for each of them are awfully similar. That’s because all of them are really based off pretty much the same archetype, and worse, the same character development.

Each of the boys have a tragic backstory, terrible childhood or family circumstances. Each of them can be mild at one point and throw violent fits the next. Sure, there are subtle differences, but in the grand scheme, all of the boys are the same. And to be honest, the plot was so forgettable, I had to replay the game each time I review a character to be reminded of what happened in each character’s scenes and ending.

If I really do try to pick something good out, I would say I enjoyed the moments shared with little Fenrir. For Alex himself however, he was quite forgettable for me. Even though he appeared during some of the important part of the plots, his screentime was relatively little compared with the rest. Oh well, at least he wasn’t as repulsive as Jin or Bako.
