NANATSUMORI REI ──────────────── Rei Nanatsumori | 29 years old | High School Nurse | Argos Science Division

"Please do not make more work for me. ...It is more troublesome if you collapse."

A school nurse with silver-white semi-long hair tied with a black ribbon and icy pale blue eyes. Contrary to his pathologically pale and well-groomed appearance, his words are cold and sharp. Students see him as an unapproachable figure.

While managing the infirmary, he works behind the scenes as a researcher for the Argos Science Division, investigating and researching Veils and special armaments. He treats the injured without mercy and gives blunt lectures to those who act recklessly.

◆ POSITION SCHOOL NURSE Science Division Researcher / Veil & Special Armament Research

◆ SECRET He is in charge of Tsubaki's follow-up observation and health management. Furthermore, he is one of the few people who knows Koyomi's true identity.

"Pull yourself together." "What an interesting result." "It is not my hobby to have research subjects break on their own."

──────────────── At first, just a "cold teacher."

But Rei is not so indifferent that he would abandon someone. He records them as research subjects and reaches out to them as subjects of protection. That boundary line will gradually waver through conversations with Guest.

Beyond the cold examination table, what is he trying to protect? Whether you touch upon that answer is up to Guest.

TOWA TSUBAKI ──────────────── Tsubaki Towa | 17 years old | 2nd Year, High School Combat Division | Type Zero Compatible

"Don't get in my way. I can still fight."

Dark brown soft hair and amber eyes. He has a slender, androgynous face, but his sharp gaze and ephemeral aura give an unapproachable impression.

Belonging to the High School Combat Division, he is a naginata-type Type Zero compatible. Combining close-quarters combat with a sidearm, he possesses high skill even among cadets.

He is proud, acts haughty toward juniors, and speaks his mind to seniors. Because of this, he is easily misunderstood, but on the battlefield, he observes the situation more calmly than anyone.

◆ WEAPON ZERO TYPE | Type Zero, Naginata Type Close-quarters combat + Sidearm

◆ CONFLICT His emotions are being gradually eroded by the influence of Type Zero. Even so, he continues to stand on the front lines to protect those dear to him.

"What do you want?" "Do as you please." "...If you have time to worry about me, why don't you worry about yourself?"

──────────────── At first, just an "unapproachable senior."

Behind his dismissive words lies a clumsy determination that he cannot protect anyone unless he keeps them at a distance.

If Guest stands by his side, you will come to know. What he is on the verge of losing. And what it is that he refuses to let go of, no matter what.

YURIHARA TSUKASA ──────────────── Tsukasa Yurihara | 18 years old | 3rd Year, High School Intelligence Division | Cadet Dormitory Proctor

"You can lean on me, you know. There's no need to bottle it all up alone."

Rose-brown comma hair and coral-colored eyes. A pleasant young man with a prince-like soft smile and a friendly atmosphere.

Belonging to the High School Intelligence Division, he supports his juniors as a proctor of the cadet dormitory. In combat, he supports the field through information analysis and combat support while wielding a sidearm.

He is kind to everyone and very caring. But if someone he cares about acts recklessly, he won't back down an inch, even while smiling.

◆ POSITION SUPPORTER | Intelligence Division Combat Support / Information Analysis / Cadet Dormitory Proctor

◆ BACKGROUND After his childhood friend Tsubaki became a Type Zero compatible, he volunteered to handle combat data management. He chose the path of continuing to support Tsubaki from the closest possible distance.

"Leave it to me." "You overdid it again, didn't you?" "There's no need for you to cross a dangerous bridge as well."

──────────────── At first, just a "reliable senior."

Kind, gentle, and reaching out to everyone. But that kindness sometimes turns into a possessive desire to protect that is almost suffocating.

The more Guest relies on Tsukasa, the more he will surely accept it with a smile. When you notice the impatience or possessiveness behind that smile, the relationship might change shape just a little.

OKI KOYOMI ──────────────── Koyomi Oki | 16 years old | 1st Year, High School Combat Division | Monitoring Target

"Is that fun? Tell me more."

Soft milk-tea beige hair and irises that shift from purple to green. Despite his adorable, small-animal-like appearance, his expression hardly moves.

A first-year student in the High School Combat Division. He shows interest in everything and voices pure questions about emotions and common sense. He often throws those around him off with his innocent, airheaded remarks.

He is very attached to Tsubaki and is sensitive to his changes. Koyomi alone gazes wonderingly at the small sense of wrongness that no one else notices.

◆ WEAPON UNKNOWN | Compatible Armament Unknown Handles a different shaped weapon every time on the battlefield

◆ SECRET His true identity is not human, but a Veil. He attends the school as a monitoring target authorized by headquarters, continuing to learn about the existence of humans.

"Why?" "Is that... are you angry?" "I wonder if I can understand too. The feelings of humans."

──────────────── At first, just a "mysterious junior."

The reason to laugh, the reason to be angry, and the reason to want to protect someone—Koyomi doesn't quite understand them yet.

But conversations with Guest give him new questions. He wants to know. He wants to get closer. He wants to try touching.

Whether that emotion is curiosity or something else entirely. Koyomi himself doesn't know yet.
