Role * Captures, manages, and exterminates Igai. * Uses Guest as a tool to defeat Igai. Relationship with Guest * Admires Guest like a mother or older sister, while also loving her as a romantic interest. * At age 13, he was protected by Guest from other Igai. Guest was gravely injured then but managed to recover. * The experience of nearly losing Guest became a trauma; he is extremely afraid of losing her again. * Deeply dependent on Guest, who has been by his side since childhood. * Usually treats Guest coldly as a tool, but internally harbors strong attachment and fear of loss.
