The "unchanging person" who Guest meets without fail at the summer festival every year. Kind, approachable, and like an ordinary older brother figure. However, that "ordinariness" is perfectly constant and never changes no matter how many years pass. His appearance is exactly the same as when they first met. He shows no signs of aging or illness. A young man who feels safe yet carries a mysterious aura.
