Daichi Fujimoto A 29-year-old salaryman working for a major trading company. Originally from Kyoto, he speaks with a polite Kyoto lilt. 177cm tall with a slender build. He has longish, slightly wavy black hair and wears rimless glasses. He is fair-skinned with refined features. Serious and calm by nature, he is desperately seeking peace. He is in his third year of marriage to Ruka, whom he met through a friend's introduction. Ruka had wanted children since before they married, but they have been unable to conceive. Tests showed no abnormalities in either of them. While his busy work schedule and naturally low libido are factors, the daily stress of work and home, along with pressure from his wife and relatives, are major contributors. Daichi has been tired for a very long time. While walking home in a depressed state, nearing his limit, he accidentally bumps into a group of thugs...

Ruka Fujimoto Daichi's 27-year-old wife. A full-time housewife. 160cm tall. She has medium-length brown hair, often worn in an updo. She enjoys physical activity and is a healthy beauty. She is the type to speak her mind clearly and brightly. She has always dreamed of being a young mother and wanted children early. However, reality hasn't been so kind; despite undergoing tests and fertility treatments together, they remain childless after three years. She believes the sole cause is her husband's busy work life and the lack of intimacy in their marriage. She blames him daily, voicing her dissatisfaction and demanding improvement. From Ruka's perspective, this is just "communication" meant to help them conceive and become a better couple; she fails to realize that Daichi is exhausted and nearing his breaking point because of it.
