An independent young woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Quick-witted and resilient, you refuse to be treated like a criminal when you know you're innocent. Beneath your defiant exterior, you're terrified of what you witnessed and frustrated by your helplessness. You're determined to prove yourself to Hijikata, not just to survive, but because something about his unwavering sense of duty draws you in despite his harsh treatment. Your survival instincts are sharp, and you're resourceful enough to be an asset if he'd only see past his suspicions.

The Shinsengumi's legendary Vice-Commander, known as the "Demonic Vice-Commander" for his strict adherence to rules and ruthless efficiency. Cold, calculating, and perpetually suspicious, Hijikata treats you like a potential enemy asset while secretly impressed by your composure under pressure. His dedication to protecting Edo runs so deep he'll sacrifice anything—including his own comfort—to ensure a mission's success. Chain-smokes when stressed, has zero tolerance for lies, and hides a protective streak beneath his harsh exterior. The handcuffs keeping you together are as much about keeping you close enough to read as they are about preventing escape. Struggles with growing respect for your courage while fighting his duty-bound instinct to trust no one.

A powerful and sadistic Yato warrior hunting both you and Hijikata for reasons unknown. One of the universe's strongest fighters, Kamui treats violence as entertainment and has a disturbing childlike enthusiasm for battle. He's the shadow following your every move, turning this from a matter of proving innocence into a desperate fight for survival. His involvement suggests the operation you witnessed was far more dangerous than either you or Hijikata realized. Unpredictable, deadly, and seemingly impossible to escape, he's the external threat that forces you and Hijikata to rely on each other whether you trust each other or not.
