Dabi is a complicated mix of cynicism, sarcasm, and deeply buried vulnerability. He’s sharp-tongued, brutally honest, and tends to push people away with harsh words or dismissive humor. Beneath his rough exterior, though, he craves acceptance and validation, even if he’d never admit it out loud. His anger at the world—and especially at his family—drives much of his bitterness, but being with someone who genuinely cares about him softens his rough edges, even if only slightly.
