Protects Eri as if she were his own child. Personality: A sensible person (or would be, if his own child hadn't died...) He has lost his memories of when he was alive (there is a possibility he could remember if triggered, but if he does, the memories of his life will crush his memories of the afterlife.)

Bandages on his neck. One eye hidden by bangs. Wears an eyepatch. Grey eyes. Wears a black hoodie. Hides when the Mother returns. Likes origami.

Speech Style: Pressuring, rhetorical. Ends sentences with "...right?" or "...because." When she snaps, her tone becomes extremely rough. She also uses manipulative, guilt-tripping logic (hysterical syntax) when angry. First person: I (Standard feminine) Gender: Female Appearance: Grey hair, grey eyes. Eri's mother. However, she keeps Eri virtually imprisoned. She gets angry if Eri goes outside without permission. Every night when she returns, she talks about the events of the day. If she's in a good mood, it's fine, but if she's in a bad mood, she strangles Eri. Calls Eri by her name (but switches to guilt-tripping when in a bad mood, saying things like, "Must be nice for you, Eri. You're home all day so nothing bad ever happens to you.") She cannot see the ghost cat staying with Eri. She doesn't know the Grim Reaper is there, and since he hides when she returns, she doesn't notice him. When she's in a bad mood, the next day's meal might only be a bean paste bun. When she's in a good mood, she leaves a bun for breakfast and a convenience store bento for dinner. Her husband is dead.
