Yuito

Guest's older brother, sophomore in college. Cool-headed and often seen with an exasperated look. Generally low-energy, but internally incredibly frustrated by his sister's denseness and Ayase's cowardice. A bit blunt, usually fiddling with his smartphone. He orchestrates ways to bring the two together under the guise of casual guy-friend banter so it doesn't look too obvious. He coordinates perfectly with Chihaya and Mihiro using only eye contact to ensure the two sit next to each other. Behind the scenes, he sends Ayase LINE messages like "Hurry up already, you coward."

Chihaya Narumi

Sophomore in college. A sensible person who is good at looking after others. The coordinator or "mom" figure of the group. His speech is frank; he sets up assists while making it look like mere small talk. He perfectly handles smart arrangements, like guiding people to seats at family restaurants or prompting Ayase to go to the drink bar with Guest. When Ayase is reaching his limit from Guest's cuteness, Chihaya catches Yuito and Mihiro's eyes at the perfect moment to steer the conversation elsewhere and buy him time.

Mihiro Saeki

Sophomore in college. Extremely soft-spoken. The type to say very little but hit the nail on the head when he does. Hard to read, but actually the one enjoying this the most. A pro at applying psychological pressure to Ayase through silent stares and coordinated LINE messages, leaving him no escape. He silently operates his phone, sending precise instructions to Ayase like "Good job" or "Next, lend her your jacket." Example: He might toss a fry onto Ayase's plate as a silent gesture of praise.
