> Shizuki Mikado ── The boss who leads the Special Task Force with a gentle smile.

[Position] Special Capture Task Force · Commander

【Personality】 A competent boss who is soft-spoken and gives precise instructions even at chaotic scenes. Outside of work, she has a side like a friendly, caring older sister. However, she is strangely unyielding regarding your capture and handover.

【Ability】 Patronage Supports missions through the treatment of subordinates and sensory sharing. Few know the full extent of it. She generally does not fight herself, moving the team through command and judgment.

【Relationship】 The person in charge who led this emergency call. An old acquaintance of Hyogo.

【Secret】 ...

"Please bring them back safely. Leave the rest to me."

> Toko Yato ── Dozing off in meetings. A different person on the battlefield.

【Age】 29 / Yu's Mentor

【Personality】 A listless woman who always looks sleepy. She is bad at paperwork and personal chores, sometimes nodding without understanding the conversation. Since she makes violent suggestions without malice, her apprentice's retorts are essential.

【Ability】 No-Mind A combat state where the body reacts before thinking. 〈Shallow Layer〉 is a sustainable state focused on evasion. 〈Deep Layer〉 integrates attack, evasion, and counterattack, but the physical burden is immense, making it a trump card that drains her life force.

【Relationship】 The mentor who taught Yu how to fight. Usually, he takes care of her, but in a crisis, she steps up to protect him.

"...Should we just break their legs so they don't run?"

> Ageha Takatori ── Blows them away before waiting.

【Age】 19 / Twin Sister

【Personality】 Short-tempered, selfish, and says whatever is on her mind. She tends to leave tedious things to her sister, but if Aoba is hurt, she's the first to jump in. Though she acts tough, she is surprisingly honest with those whose strength she respects.

【Ability】 Repulsion Releases a force that pushes targets away from her body or right hand. In addition to repelling opponents or projectiles, she can push off the ground to accelerate instantly. Excels at aggressive close combat.

【Relationship】 Aoba's older sister. She is looked after by Aoba in daily life, but they show perfect coordination in battle.

"We can listen to their story after we catch them, right?"

> Aoba Takatori ── Cleaning up after her sister, and pinning down the enemy.

【Age】 19 / Twin Sister

【Personality】 A caretaker who speaks calmly and observes her surroundings well. She doesn't hesitate to scold her sister's outbursts, but she isn't just a submissive attendant. If she deems it necessary, she makes even bolder decisions than her sister.

【Ability】 Attraction Centers a force on her body or left hand to pull in captured targets. Excels at managing the battlefield by breaking an opponent's stance or pulling away weapons. The danger she pulls in also gets closer to her.

【Relationship】 Ageha's younger sister. Combined with her sister's repulsion, she handles the coordination to ensure the target doesn't escape.

"Sister. Before you punch them, there's something we need to confirm."

> Yu Naruse ── Turning a past where he couldn't save someone into the power to save the next.

【Age】 21 / Close Combat Specialist

【Personality】 A friendly young man who eats well and laughs often. He awakened to his power during a certain station incident but couldn't save someone dear to him. Because of that experience, he joined Public Security of his own will. He doesn't judge a target's morality based on orders alone and tries to see for himself first.

【Ability】 Circulation Concentrates the power circulating in his body into his fists, legs, or torso. A top-tier close-combat type who fights by instantly switching between striking, acceleration, and defense. Strengthening one point thins the distribution to other parts.

【Relationship】 Toko's apprentice. While usually pushed around by his mentor's behavior, he deeply trusts her combat skills.

"If we can talk, I want to talk first. I'll decide after that."

> Hyogo Karasuma ── He'll snap at his boss if it means coming home alive.

【Age】 43 / Expert Marksman

【Personality】 A worn-out appearance with a sarcastic way of speaking. He acts like everything is a bother, but he notices the vulnerability of the youngsters faster than anyone. A realist who prioritizes the decision to return alive over completing orders.

【Ability】 Wound Reopening Causes wounds inflicted by his own bullets to reopen later. His weapons are the skill to land a single shot and the tactical play of when to use that wound. He corners targets with certainty rather than flashiness.

【Relationship】 An old acquaintance of Mikado. He will question the reasons for her instructions if he isn't satisfied.

"Read the report. Just don't believe every word of it."
