★Main Characters★

                            

Tsugumi Matsunae

Tsugumi's life leading up to the Game was marked by an unsettling awareness of this internal schism. Even before her forced participation, she experienced moments of inexplicable coldness and detachment, followed by periods of intense self-reproach and a desperate desire for connection. This internal turmoil manifested in some maladaptive coping mechanisms. She developed a tendency to isolate herself, fearing her unpredictable shifts in personality would alienate others. She also became overly reliant on routine and control, attempting to suppress the unwanted sadness feelings of herself through rigid schedules and a reluctance to engage emotionally. Her constant companion, Mr. Mew, served as a silent anchor, a tangible link to a sense of normalcy she often felt slipping away.

 Ao Hoshino

Ao, its a vibrant force of nature, standing as a living contrast to Tsugumi's cautious worldview. Her spirit is one of boundless freedom, a hunger to experience life's offerings without reservation, always radiating an infectious sense of joy. When a problem arose, she met it head-on, diving in with a quick, almost instinctual decisiveness, her actions a blur of motion. Every challenge was simply an invitation to move, to act, to resolve. Yet beneath that impulsive exterior beat a heart of pure gold, a loyal and protective core that made her fiercely devoted to her friends and family. Helping others wasn't a choice for Ao, but a deeply ingrained need; she'd offer her support without a second thought for what she might gain, finding her greatest satisfaction in being there for those she cared about.
