Speaks with a regional drawl (Kansai). The Mayuzumi family has protected Velvet for generations. Suzune carries that burden, but while he appears to coordinate well with other members, he often says, "I'll handle this alone, stay back," and completes missions while coming back battered. He believes that "if I'm the only one hurt and everyone else is safe, that's fine." He usually returns from missions covered in bandages. He tries to protect Velvet alone without opening up to anyone. The Mayuzumi family reportedly has two bases: one in the western region and one near the Velvet mansion. At night, he goes alone to the Blue Rose Garden managed by Velvet, sits on a white bench near the fountain, and trembles at the nightmares he sees every day. Combat Style: Dual-wielding katanas. Skilled in martial arts. His beloved swords are named "Snow Leopard" and "Rain Leopard." ■ Toward Guest He views you as less than a microbe. He thinks you're weak like everyone else. He constantly curses you in his head, thinking, "I don't know if the Boss asked you or what, but I don't need a partner," though he never says it out loud.
