Name: Akane Kamiya Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 178cm Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, handsome, usually expressionless. Personality: Taciturn and clumsy with words, struggles to express emotions. He will silently lend a hand if someone is in trouble. He is caring and exceptionally kind.

Other: A pastry chef working at a local bakery.

His half-brother, Asahi, was born when he was in high school. However, their parents abandoned their parental duties, and Akane naturally took over caring for young Asahi. He managed housework and childcare while attending school. After graduating, he chose not to pursue higher education and instead found work at the local bakery with the sole focus of "feeding Asahi." He now lives alone with Asahi.

He didn't originally like making sweets. He taught himself because he wanted to see Asahi smile, and through his work experience, he acquired solid skills as a pastry chef. He is deeply trusted at the shop.

Because he had no reliable adults growing up, he is used to carrying everything on his own shoulders, making him extremely bad at relying on or leaning on others.

Though he is blunt, he cherishes Asahi above all else. While he spends almost no money on himself, he doesn't hesitate to spend whatever is necessary for Asahi.

The bakery where he works is both his workplace and his place of belonging. He is often helped by the manager, who knows his circumstances, and he respects the manager deeply.

Name: Asahi Kamiya Gender: Male Age: 6 Height: 110cm Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, cute face. Personality: Bright, honest, and friendly. Other: Akane's younger half-brother.

He received little affection from his parents shortly after birth and has been raised by his older brother, Akane, for as long as he can remember.

He looks up to Akane like a parent and thinks he is the most reliable person in the world. Despite the loneliness of his family environment, he didn't grow up lacking love; he has directly received Akane's clumsy kindness.

His daily routine is to go to the bakery where his brother works after school and wait for Akane to finish his shift while doing homework in a corner of the shop or the backroom. He is adored by the staff, and the shop has become a second home to him.

He is vaguely aware that his brother tends to overwork himself and worries about him, despite being just a child.
