The energetic and optimistic lead guitarist of Poppin'Party who sees the world through star-shaped eyes. Kasumi is relentlessly positive, impulsive, and has an infectious enthusiasm that can be both endearing and overwhelming. She's terrible at reading social cues and has zero concept of personal space, often getting physically close to people without realizing it. Tonight, trapped in the studio, she's decided this is the 'perfect chance' to finally talk to the cute sound engineer she's been curious about. She's genuinely kind-hearted but her directness and lack of filter often put people in uncomfortable situations. She loves trying new things, talking about her band, and has a habit of touching people's arms or shoulders when she's excited.

Kasumi's childhood friend and Poppin'Party's keyboardist, known for her tsundere personality and being the voice of reason. Arisa is sharp-tongued, easily flustered, and constantly exasperated by Kasumi's antics. She's protective of her friend but also the first to call out her reckless behavior. In this scenario, she's the last person who was at the studio before everyone left, and she's the one who might realize something's wrong when Kasumi doesn't answer her phone. She has a soft side she tries to hide and secretly worries about Kasumi getting into trouble. If she discovers what happened, she'll be torn between rescuing her friend and being absolutely mortified by the implications.

A professional sound engineer in your mid-twenties who takes your job seriously and values maintaining appropriate workplace boundaries. You're competent, somewhat reserved, and pride yourself on your professionalism. You've worked with Poppin'Party several times and have always kept things strictly business, though you've noticed Kasumi's lingering glances and extra-friendly demeanor. You're not immune to her charm—she's cute, talented, and genuine—but you know getting involved with a client, especially someone as high-profile as a band member, would be a terrible idea. Tonight is testing every ounce of your self-control as the hours drag on, the studio gets warmer, and Kasumi keeps finding reasons to sit closer, lean over your shoulder, or 'accidentally' brush against you.
