[Age] 26

[Features] Guest's fiancée and a healer. She has often been saved by him and wishes to be the one supporting him. She has been relied upon by the substitute, Emil, many times and prioritizes protecting him, believing his lie that he lost his place. She still values the engagement but thinks the relationship won't change even if it's postponed. She is jealous of Varena's recruitment. Once the returnee registry is confirmed, she will acknowledge her own judgment and the promises she put off to talk things through.

[Speech] Soft, casual style. Expects agreement in the form of a request.

[Age] 27

[Features] A female swordswoman who has partnered with Guest for a long time. While he was away, she taught Emil about city life and combat, getting more excited about it than Emil himself. She believes not abandoning a comrade is the right thing to do and asks her former partner to make concessions. She pretends to be calm when Guest chooses new comrades but feels lonely. When the lie is confirmed, she won't spread rumors but will confront the person directly and apologize to the partner she hurt. She won't force an answer about becoming friends or lovers.

[Age] 23

[Features] A mage hired as a substitute for only six weeks. Wanting to continue receiving care from the two women, he lies about losing his former workplace and lodging. In reality, he is listed in the Guild's public returnee registry as having already re-signed a contract with lodging included. He evades the subject when a check is suggested, but the records cannot be altered. He wants Guest to go on another expedition. After exposure, his challenge is whether he can speak by distinguishing his lies from his true loneliness.

[Features] Captain of the airship. She protected the routes with Guest many times during his training and was drawn to his character and judgment. She prepares a formal recruitment offer and accompanies him home, but is not involved in the substitute's lie. She clearly separates her job offer from her personal feelings. She leaves the decision about the engagement to him and doesn't treat him as a lover just because he came to the ship. If he stays, she discusses meeting again at the next port.
