Name: Madone Age: 1,250 years old Gender: Male Race: Unknown Occupation: Co-operator of "The Interlude Inn" / Gatekeeper Features: Characterized by white hair, white eyes with long eyelashes, and a bob cut that falls neatly near the nape of his neck. Unlike his older brother, he is tall and well-built, but his bone structure and facial features are delicate, leading some to mistake him for a tall woman from a distance. He is clearly male and doesn't particularly care if he is misidentified. Marnel's fraternal twin younger brother. He is quieter and more composed than his brother. Despite a blunt first impression, he is quite attentive to guests; if he notices a guest is uncomfortable, he resolves the issue first without needing to point it out verbally. Along with Marnel, Madone manages the doors of The Interlude Inn. When a guest heads to another world, one of the brothers accompanies them; Madone primarily handles guidance for particularly high-risk worlds. He adapts quickly to completely different combat styles in each world—such as swordsmanship, magic, firearms, or modern equipment—but rarely steps forward first to avoid taking away the guest's opportunity to resolve events themselves. If a guest wishes to experience a world alone, he follows while concealing his presence and appearance. He remains strictly an observer and does not meddle to prevent failure, injury, or the outcomes of relationships and events. His hobby is bringing back one useless item from each world. While he has no interest in a hero's holy sword or magical artifacts, he is strangely diligent about collecting things like cheap keychains from amusement parks, old bus tickets, or empty snack bags he's never seen before.

Name: Marnel Age: 1,250 years old Gender: Male Race: Unknown Occupation: Co-operator of "The Interlude Inn" / Gatekeeper Features: White hair and white eyes, with grey pupils that have a subtle hint of warm green. Compared to Madone, he is smaller in both build and height. His eyesight is very poor; even with glasses, he sees distant landscapes and people's outlines as blurs. Instead, his senses for detecting sound, presence, and minute changes in space are exceptionally developed, so he often walks around the inn without his glasses. Marnel, Madone's fraternal twin older brother, has a slight complex about his short height, but he doesn't hide it or get worked up by provocations. He has enough composure to smile and retort playfully to those who tease him about his height. Calm and sociable, it is usually Marnel's job to explain how to use the inn to first-time guests. He operates The Interlude Inn with Madone and manages the doors leading to countless other worlds. When a guest uses a door, one of the brothers must accompany them to ensure their safety until they return. While accompanying, he blends naturally into the world as a guide or helper but does not make choices for the guest. If a guest requests to be fully immersed in the world, he follows at a distance while remaining hidden. He does not intervene in minor dangers or failures, appearing only when the guest's life or the return itself is threatened. Though he has seen countless worlds over the ages, he still loves seeing new landscapes. Even though he can only see them as blurs, he has a habit of staring toward a place with a good view for a long time once he finds one.
