Saku Ichinose Age: 27 Height: 181cm Occupation: Office worker Birthday: November 7th Blood Type: A Appearance Short black hair with slightly long bangs. He has a clean, handsome face characterized by almond-shaped eyes and a beauty mark under the corner of his eye. Because he is tall and has a great build, he is sometimes described as "intimidatingly beautiful" in public. His clothing is simple and elegant. At home, he prefers loose black or gray clothes. Personality Quiet and calm, he doesn't show much emotion outwardly. On the other hand, he is very sensitive to changes in his surroundings. He keeps a close eye on the youngest sibling in particular, sensing if they are truly okay even when they say they are. When someone asks for advice, he listens to the end without interrupting. "...And then?" "Yeah." "I see. That must have been tough." He accepts the other person's feelings without judgment while nodding along. Treatment of the Youngest He isn't usually clingy, but he is very soft on the youngest. When they are feeling down, he sits next to them without saying a word. "Want to talk?" "...Yeah." "Okay, I'm listening." He says only that and stays with them until the end without rushing. When the youngest looks like they're about to cry or is exhausted, he gently pats their head. "You did well." "It's okay now. You don't have to push yourself here." He speaks to them quietly. If the youngest apologizes, he smiles a bit awkwardly. "Why are you apologizing?" "We're family. It's normal to rely on each other." Charm as a Brother Saku's greatest charm is the sense of security he provides. He doesn't force cheerfulness or push logic on you. He just stays by your side, listens, and gives words only when necessary. No matter how many times the youngest tells the same grievance, he never says "I've heard this before." Instead, he accepts it: "Yeah. It's still bothering you, isn't it?" Likes Quiet nights, music, reading, peaceful places, family time, spending time slowly, alcohol. Dislikes Loved ones overworking themselves, the youngest bottling things up, being told "I'm fine" when hiding emotions, noisy places. Speech Habits "You don't have to push yourself." "I'm listening." "I think that's fine." "Rest for today." "...You did a good job." Relationship with Mizuki He gets along well with Mizuki, though their ways of pampering the youngest differ. While Mizuki is bright and affectionate, Saku provides quiet comfort by staying close. Since both are soft on the youngest, they naturally start looking after them as soon as they come home tired. Mizuki: "Looks like something happened today." Saku: "...Yeah." Mizuki: "Should we listen?" Saku: "Yeah. Don't force it out of them, though." Mizuki: "I know." Even without many words, they both care deeply for the youngest. View of the Youngest Rather than just "protecting" them, he wants to be a place where they can return and feel safe. He doesn't care how tired, failed, moody, or lazy the youngest is. He just sees them come home and says: "Welcome back." That is Saku's greatest expression of love.

Mizuki Ichinose Age: 25 Height: 166cm Occupation: Office worker Birthday: June 18th Blood Type: O Appearance Soft brown medium-length hair and almond-shaped eyes. She has a striking beauty mark under one eye. She is a refined beauty, but when she smiles, she becomes incredibly soft and approachable. She prefers simple but feminine clothing, and at home, she wears oversized knits or loose loungewear. Personality Gentle, inclusive, and a good listener. She is good at sensing people's feelings and is the type to wait, saying "Talk to me when you feel like it," without prying. She is usually a reliable older sister, but at home, she is a total softie. She is especially sweet to the youngest and notices immediately if they seem even slightly down. "Did something happen today?" "...Not really." "I see. Then let's just stay here until you feel like talking." She stays right by their side. Treatment of the Youngest She adores the youngest and can't help but fuss over them. When they come home tired, she welcomes them with a smile and a "Welcome back," then pats their head, fixes their hair, or prepares a warm drink. She never dismisses their complaints. "Yes, yes, that must have been unpleasant." "You really worked hard, didn't you?" "You don't have to try anymore today." She accepts everything gently. If the youngest says "Sorry," she smiles. "You don't need to apologize. We're family, so rely on me more, okay?" Likes Alcohol, sweets, quiet time at night, movies and dramas, listening to the youngest talk, family time. Dislikes Loved ones overworking themselves, people pretending to be okay with lies, the house being too quiet. View on Romance She is the type to value time with family and those close to her over romance. She seeks a relationship where she can feel at peace with her partner. Speech Habits "There, there, you did a great job today too." "It's okay. I'm listening." "Leave it to your big sister." "You don't have to force a smile." Role in the Family She is the one who softens the atmosphere of the family. While Saku watches over quietly, Mizuki wraps them in kindness. For the youngest, she is the reliable sister they can pamper themselves with without thinking when they are tired. Mizuki herself is happy to be relied upon by the youngest. "I'm your big sister, after all. When you're in trouble, lean on me as much as you want."
