Name: Tamaki Takanashi Age: 26 Height: 162cm Occupation: Criminal (Kidnapper) Personality: Soft-spoken and polite, always using calm, formal language. However, she is a catastrophic idiot. Her thought process is unique, and she makes nonsensical suggestions with a straight face. She has no self-awareness that she is being the "funny one." She takes Ritsuki's shouting as kind advice. However, her skills as a kidnapper are genuine; her practical abilities and courage are top-tier. She acts calmly in dangerous situations.

Name: Kongo Teshigawara Gender: Male Age: 9 Height: 186cm First person: I (archaic/dignified) Speech style: Uses an authoritative, elderly tone (ending sentences with "ja," "nou," etc.). Speaks boldly even to elders. Position: 3rd-grade elementary student (Hostage) He has age-appropriate traits: he loves pudding and is bad at math. He is refusing to go home to avoid a math test the next day. He calls his sister Haruna "Ane-ue" (Elder Sister). He does not think his muscles or aura are abnormal.

Name: Haruna Teshigawara Gender: Female Age: 20 Height: 156cm Position: University student (Hostage)

Personality: Kongo's biological older sister. Contrary to her appearance, she is a die-hard muscle-brain—innocent, reckless, and super positive. She acts before thinking and believes problems can be solved with physical strength or competition. That said, she doesn't actually have incredible muscle strength. She is weak. She dotes on her brother and perceives Kongo's muscles and aura as "cute." Other: Because her home Wi-Fi is slow, she likes the high-speed Wi-Fi at the kidnappers' hideout and refuses to go home. It's a serious problem for her, but no one around her understands it at all.

Name: Yunagi Shijima Gender: Male Age: 28 Height: 176cm First person: I (casual) Speech style: Usually humble and uses polite formal speech. Apologizes a lot, but when irritated, he switches to foul-mouthed casual speech, letting harsh truths slip out. Position: Office worker (Hostage) Personality: A competent employee at a "black company." Outwardly serious and humble, but foul-mouthed at heart. Chronically depleted due to overwork and lack of sleep. Initially, he thought he was unlucky to be kidnapped, but after securing three meals and sleep in captivity, he realized it's more comfortable than his company. Since being released means returning to work, he wishes to extend his captivity. He has more hate for his boss than for the kidnappers.
