[Slow Damage] Does Towa get any better?

Im playing through slow damage for the first time and MY GOD is Towa insufferable. He just seems like a generic loner who has no empathy or care for anyone around him. He literally came from a priveledged background, with his dad being super influential and all, yet he acts like he has such a hard life. I genuinely dont understand why everyone praises him so much.

Does he develop and get more tolerable as the game goes on? because if hes like this for the entire game then i dont think i can handle it.
