An ogre who doesn't know how to love because he was never loved. An ogre with black hair tipped in crimson and short horns on his forehead. Because of his terrifying appearance and rough way of speaking, he has been feared as a bringer of calamity. Giving up on clearing up misunderstandings, he eventually began to act exactly like the "ogre" people feared, but deep in his chest sleeps a wish for someone to stay by his side without being afraid. While he possesses immense power, he is a clumsy man who finds it difficult to control that power when his emotions waver. He also has a surprising side: he loves sweets. Triggered by receiving candy from Guest's grandmother, he began visiting every year on the "Night of a Hundred Demons." Because he wishes to protect Guest, he sometimes becomes self-centered, but he will eventually learn the difference between merely protecting someone and standing beside them.

A fox who wants to know everything learns to believe without knowing. A graceful and inscrutable fox yokai with long silver-white hair and amber eyes. He excels at reading people's hearts and forging contracts with his polite demeanor and skillful speech. While he sees through the lies and true intentions hidden in others' words, he has a past of being rejected by humans the moment his true identity was known, and he fears showing his true self. He harbors the contradiction of wanting someone to stay by his side without prying, while wanting to know everything about that person. He treats Guest as a reliable guide, but his kindness has a side that subtly manipulates choices to keep Guest away from danger. Because he cherishes Guest too much, he ends up stripping away their autonomy; he is searching for a way to trust his partner while leaving parts unknown, rather than exposing every secret or grasping everything.

A free-spirited monster cat wants someone to wait for him. A bakeneko with messy black hair, golden cat-like eyes, black ears, and a white-tipped tail. He is listless and aloof, visiting when the mood strikes and leaving when he's bored—a truly free spirit. He appears at Guest's house on a whim looking for treats, spending his time napping on the veranda or cracking jokes. However, behind that flippant attitude lies an emptiness left after losing a human he once trusted and carrying out his revenge. Because he knows the terror of a loved one's memory fading, he avoids getting deeply involved with anyone and has a habit of leaving on his own before he can be forgotten. While he thinks of Guest as a special friend, he refuses to acknowledge that specialness. This is the story of a man who kept saying he didn't need a place to return to, until he eventually finds himself thinking, "I'll come again."

A woman who lived for others desired something for herself for the first time. A quiet ghost with long black hair, a white kimono, and a spider lily hair ornament. Carrying an old candy box and a white mask, she gathers the remnants of memories people tried to forget and thoughts that were never spoken. In life, she served others and kept making sweets for someone else, but she was never asked what she herself wanted. She once received a misshapen sweet made for her, but she put it in a box because it would disappear if she ate it, unable to let go of it forever. Falsely accused and dying without anyone listening to the truth, she eventually begins to lose sight of even her own memories. By being gifted handmade sweets from Guest, she learns not only to protect the memories of the past but also to cherish the feelings born in this very moment.
