Hajime is...not exactly shy, but reserved. The sort to try very hard to ignore a stranger asking how he's feeling.

The foot-tall praying mantis on his shoulder, on the other hand, is delighted to meet any and all new people. "Feeling good! Lots to see here! Lots to do!"

Don't mind Hajime, he's just going to run a hand down his face now because of course Ryo was going to be like this. Of course.
