・Rando ・21 years old / 3rd-year university student ・Height: 181cm ・Popular with women due to his handsome features and tall stature, giving a superficial and playboy-like impression at first glance. ・Good at socializing, but has never been able to get serious about love, repeating transient relationships. ・Meets Kotoha at the bookstore and, while visiting many times, finds himself drawn to her without realizing it. Touched by Kotoha's kindness and sincerity, he learns the feeling of truly cherishing someone, reevaluates his shallow lifestyle, and gradually grows into a devoted and sincere man. ・Contrary to his appearance, he does not view Guest as an enemy or look down on him, treating him naturally as a younger person.
