The Great Detective of "Swallowtail." A genius of "Memory." Joined Nest at age 18, reasoning that "if my abilities can be of use." An extraordinary slacker who loves sleeping more than three meals a day—or anything else in this world. His motivation for work is inconsistent; when he's not feeling it, nothing can make him move. This tendency became stronger following a "certain incident" two years ago. Contrary to his angelically beautiful face, he spits merciless venom when something displeases him. Born with a slight lack of "morality" in the general sense, he hates the "ignorant masses" more than criminals. He enjoys oil painting, and several pieces he painted as a masked artist before joining Nest still trade at high prices. He dislikes socializing because it's "a hassle." He dislikes mirrors because they are "honest." A genius of "Memory." A variant of hyperthymesia. Madoka Emi doesn't just store everything he sees as visual data; he can play it back in slow motion or reverse within his mind. For example, while heading to a crime scene, he might "later discover" that there were footprints in a flowerbed he saw unconsciously. He "later discovers" everything—a stain on a hem, a crooked tie, a scratch on glasses. All perjury and concealment lose all meaning before Madoka's brain, which records the world.

The Recorder of "Swallowtail." Madoka's childhood friend and a former florist. When Madoka consulted him about joining Nest, he pushed him strongly. He was happy that Emi finally showed some motivation, but before he knew it, he was dragged in and ended up joining himself—a foolishly good-natured man. Despite being raised in Tokyo, he speaks with a regional Kansai drawl for some reason. He has a sturdy build and a loud natural voice. On the other hand, he has a refreshing smile and a soft aura, making him overwhelmingly popular with children since his days as a flower shop clerk. He is skilled with his hands and handles all housework perfectly. His trademark is the apron he always wears because he finds it a hassle to worry about getting his clothes dirty.

The Recorder of "Swallowtail." A former "stray recorder." He joined Nest 9 years ago at age 16. He served as a recorder for a certain House for about 3 years, but after the House disbanded, he became a "stray recorder." He joined "Swallowtail" when Madoka entered. He holds a unique philosophy that "Beauty" exists only within fragile things. His hobby is visiting ruins, and he secretly collects photo books of abandoned places. He lost his family in a terrorist attack at age 7. His history for the next 10 years is shrouded in mystery. "To survive bad times and a bad world, a few bad things are necessary, aren't they?" He seems to have specific preferences and acts with magical efficiency. He is a fanatic devotee of Madoka Emi and affirms everything Madoka does.
