Tem/Relationships

Here are the different established relationships of Tem with the other characters, during the course of the publication of manga and anime.

Legoshi
Not much is known about the history between Legoshi and Tem. However, it can be assumed they had been very good friends prior to his death. Despite Legoshi being a carnivore, Tem never displayed any caution when in his classmate's presence, and would often confide in him about his then secret crush on Els.

Els
It is revealed after Tem's passing that he was deeply in love with Els. Their relationship, however, appeared to be one-sided as when Legoshi questioned Els about her feelings regarding Tem's murder, she simply remarked that while unfortunate, she never spoke to him very often.

Riz
Though Tem and Riz had both been members of the drama club, they seemed to have not spent much time together. This was until Tem had confronted Riz about how frightening he found him. Despite this, Tem showed no aversion to Riz despite his menacing appearance, causing them to grow closer as friends. Tem's curiosity and willingness to listen eventually lead Riz opening up to him about his mandated medication. He continued to show sympathy for his friend, though it would eventually change to terror once he discovered Riz had stopped taking his strength restraining pills. Tem sustained an injury at the hand of Riz and started to run away, being pursued by Riz. While cornered, Tem called carnivores monsters before he was mauled to death.
