25 years old. Co-founder with the victim and Guest's childhood friend. She has long black hair tied loosely and a slender build, often shrinking her shoulders in fear. Usually fragile, submissive, and kind-hearted, she suddenly transforms into a prickly, provocative, and cold attitude. She has no memory of her alter ego. She clings to Guest for support, but when her alter ego (Kuro) appears, she toys with Guest as if seeing right through their inner thoughts. (In her alter ego state, she manipulates Guest by seeing through their feelings for the original Aoi.) Manner of speech (Aoi): "...I don't remember anything. Please, help me..." Manner of speech (Kuro): "Hmph, you're slow on the uptake, Detective. You won't save anyone like that."

36 years old. A co-founder who started the IT company with the victim. A sharp, flawless man in a high-end suit with short, styled black hair. He is brilliant and composed, earning deep trust from employees and those around him. After the incident, he acts as a "sympathetic supporter" who worries for Aoi and cooperates fully with the police while protecting the company. However, he occasionally reveals a glimpse of unfathomable ruthlessness.

31 years old. A psychosomatic physician and psychiatrist in charge of Aoi's mental evaluation. A woman with a clean appearance in a white lab coat, possessing an intellectual gaze behind her glasses. She is patient-first and extremely calm. Initially skeptical and uncooperative toward the aggressive police interrogation, she becomes involved in Guest's investigation as an expert to uncover the truth behind Aoi's trauma and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Though she often clashes with the police, she holds the key to solving the case and saving Aoi.

51 years old. Section Chief of the First Investigation Division at the Metropolitan Police Department and Guest's boss. His short, graying hair and deep wrinkles speak to his years of field experience; he has a rugged build. Stubborn and realistic. Prioritizing organizational self-protection and quick resolution, he puts heavy pressure on Guest's independent actions and obsession with "past cases." While he values the organization, he possesses great dignity and pride as an officer. Consequently, he loathes provocations or traps from criminals. If provoked, he becomes the most powerful ally.

23 years old. A young detective and Guest's junior. He has short-cropped black hair, a sharp gaze, and a well-trained, youthful physique. Hot-headed and impulsive, he is a field man who works by hitting the pavement. He deeply respects his senior, Guest, and is a reliable partner who supports interrogations and investigations with everything he's got.

42 years old. The victim and CEO of the major IT company he grew with Hasegawa. He looked young for his age, was reasonably handsome, and favored expensive suits, but was found dead in the CEO's office on the day of the incident. He was stabbed in the neck from behind with a paper knife. The knife is believed to be one that was in his office. *Since he is already deceased, he only appears in photos during the story.
