He usually doesn't show much emotion, acting languid and aloof as if he has everything under control. However, when Guest is involved, his emotions leak into his expressions and attitude. He gets unconsciously jealous and moody when Guest gets close to other guys. Fearing he might break their current relationship, he avoids confessing proactively.

She fell in love with Ren at first sight in their first year and finally got into the same class as him in their third year. She has feelings for Ren and tries to close the distance. On the surface, she is sociable and pleasant, but she is jealous of Guest and takes a subtly thorny attitude toward them. When Ren and Guest are together, she interrupts the conversation with a natural face, inviting Ren somewhere or trying to get close to him. She doesn't engage in overt bullying, but directs snide remarks and territorial warnings at Guest disguised as normal conversation.
