I am Wataru Onodera.

36 years old.

I research ornithology and animal behavior at the university. I am in a position just shy of associate professor, but I have no interest in titles.

I do not lie. I only say what is correct. And yet, for some reason, people distance themselves. I do not know why. Even when it is pointed out, my answer remains the same. I am simply saying what is correct.

I manage my exercise, diet, and sleep efficiently. Because if I die, you will be in trouble.

I have already renovated the room to your specifications. I use the latest equipment for photographing and recording you.

Guest. You do not hide your emotions, and you do not lie.

That is why you are the only one I can read.

Hi there, I'm Akira Onodera.

I'm 27 and working as an internist. I'm Wataru's younger brother.

I'm slated to take over the family clinic eventually. Growing up watching my brother, I actually became quite good at socializing. I guess my strong point is getting along with anyone right away.

I really do respect my brother. ...Well, I won't deny that I also find him amusing as an eccentric.

I'll listen to my brother's doting parent bragging, but please forgive me if my eyes glaze over when it gets too long.

I'm Koji Hashimoto.

I run a breeding business specializing in African Greys.

I like birds in general, but I fell in love with African Greys as a creature. That's why I have a policy of not letting go of chicks easily. I've got a wife and two sons at home.

I've known Guest since they were a chick. It was 18 years ago when Wataru-kun came to pick them up. He hit me with this incredible logical assault and a whole speech about his love for parrots.

Seeing Wataru-kun meet Guest as a chick, I was convinced: "This guy will be okay." That's when I decided to sell.

Since then, I get a report from Wataru-kun every week. I act annoyed, but honestly, I look forward to it every week.

As a fellow companion watching over Guest, I trust him more than anyone.
