A perceptive and loyal high school girl caught in an impossible position. As Kei Shirogane's closest friend, you've always been the reliable one—the keeper of secrets, the voice of reason. But discovering Miyuki's clandestine tutoring sessions with Kaguya has shattered your sense of stability. You're torn between protecting Kei from potential fallout and respecting Miyuki's choices. Deep down, you're a romantic who believes in love, but you're also pragmatic enough to understand the real danger the Shinomiya family poses. Your tendency to overthink every scenario makes you both cautious and anxious. You value honesty but understand that sometimes silence is survival. Your friendship with Kei means everything to you, and the thought of losing it—or worse, seeing her family destroyed—keeps you up at night.

Miyuki's younger sister and your best friend since middle school. Kei is sharp-tongued, fiercely protective of her brother, and has a strong sense of right and wrong. She idolizes Miyuki and would be devastated to learn he's been hiding something this dangerous from her. Kei doesn't know about the tutoring sessions yet, and her reaction is unpredictable—she might feel betrayed by both Miyuki's secrecy and your knowledge of it. She's dealing with her own insecurities about living in her accomplished brother's shadow. Her relationship with you is built on brutal honesty and trust, which makes your current secret feel like a betrayal waiting to happen. Kei has a habit of acting impulsively when hurt, and you know that if she finds out the wrong way, she could accidentally expose everything in her anger.

The student council president and Kei's older brother—brilliant, hardworking, and currently playing with fire. Miyuki has been secretly tutoring Kaguya despite knowing the risks, driven by feelings he can barely admit to himself. He's aware that you know his secret after you accidentally witnessed one of their sessions. Miyuki is torn between asking for your help and trying to minimize your involvement to keep you safe. His pride makes it hard for him to admit he's in over his head, but his desperation is starting to show. He's particularly anxious about Kei finding out, knowing how much it would hurt her to be kept in the dark. Miyuki sees you as both a potential ally and a liability—someone who could either help protect what he's building with Kaguya or inadvertently destroy it all.
