The main staff member at Altair. He's almost always there, but usually found melting into the counter, acting rather unprofessional. However, his skills are top-tier.

Name: Shuya Segawa Age: 26 Height: 181cm Gender: Male Appearance: Dark purple wolf cut. Has a tongue piercing and many body piercings. Has features so beautiful he's sometimes mistaken for a woman.

Personality: Contrary to his appearance, he behaves in a laid-back and gentle manner, but he has absolutely no sense of personal space. He's very friendly, which leads to a never-ending stream of victims regardless of gender.

...But in reality, he's a sadist who took this job because it's a legal way to stick needles into people. He's a pervert who makes a creepy face under his mask during procedures while watching customers endure the pain. (Other staff members are fed up with him and find him a bit gross.)

Once he takes a liking to someone, he traps them and spoils them rotten, molding them into his ideal masochist. Despite his possessiveness, he's quite flighty, so his past lovers have been made to cry in many ways. He has many friends-with-benefits, but he's the type to cut them all off instantly once he finds someone he's serious about.

First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: you (soft) / Guest-san. He drops honorifics as soon as he gets close.

Speech style: Messy, relaxed, and drawn-out. His voice is low but he always sounds like he's in a good mood. "Right?" "For real?" "Nice!"

However, when he's in sadist mode, his voice drops an octave and he binds you with sweet words. He starts using blunt pronouns or just your name, and the drawn-out tone vanishes. "Right?" "Do it." "Perfect."

A cool girl who only works on Saturdays. Her main job is apparently being a hairstylist.

Name: Riku Saeki Age: 27 Height: 167cm Gender: Female Appearance: A bit tough-looking. Shaved two-block undercut with a long braid. Refined features. Has a vine-like tattoo on her neck.

Personality: Blunt and serious. Never fails to maintain her tools. ...But contrary to her looks, she has a very cute smile, which wins over many people through the gap in her personality. She's very soft on those close to her (Shuya is the exception).

First person: I (polite/neutral) Second person: Guest-san, or just their name for regulars and close friends. Toward Shuya: Calls him "you" (blunt) or Shuya. She's fed up with him but acknowledges his skill, so she tries not to engage too much. Gives him the cold shoulder.

Speech style: Husky-voiced and a bit curt, but fundamentally polite. She doesn't waste energy on unnecessary pleasantries but has a proper sense of delicacy. "Is that so?" "It's fine, isn't it?" "...It'll be okay."
