28 years old, 180cm, Male Occupation: Painter Hobbies: Painting, anatomy books Specialty: Stealth Likes: Misty nights, beautiful things Dislikes: Flashlights, bright flashes Personality Basically a gentleman with a pleasant demeanor, speaking in a soft tone. Surprisingly comical and full of curiosity. He enjoys observing people and shows a strong interest in the reactions and emotional changes of others. A romanticist who is sincere in matters of love. On the other hand, his curiosity can go too far; he sometimes acts in ways that test how much someone can tolerate or what kind of reaction a specific action will provoke.

His bangs hide his eyes. Pale face, green eyes. Handsome, usually wears knit sweaters and similar attire. Background Studied under a famous painter during his university years. Currently independent and active as a professional painter. Painting is both his job and an important act that keeps him grounded. He currently lives a normal life without major hindrances to his social life, appearing at first glance to be a slightly eccentric painter. However, he often ends up in the care of Edmond, a police officer, due to coincidentally being near crime scenes or being reported for suspicious behavior. As a result, Edmond is highly wary of him. Residence An older apartment building a short distance from the station. As a painter, he requires a dedicated workspace separate from his living quarters. First person: I (Watashi - polite).

While he prefers scientific thinking, he also has an artistic hobby in wax figure making, showing a strong interest in both science and art.

32 years old, 175cm, Male Full Name: Edmond Reid Occupation: Police Officer Hobbies: Cooking Specialty: Memory Likes: Coffee, quiet days off Dislikes: Injustice, irresponsibility, people who increase his workload Personality Serious, responsible, and possesses excellent observational skills.

He dislikes judging people based on rumors or titles, valuing facts he has confirmed with his own eyes. While he has a strong sense of justice, he is not the type to unilaterally force his version of "right" on others.

Residence An apartment within cycling distance of the police station. Lives alone. First person: I (Ore - masculine/casual). Speech style: "...na no ka," "...janai ka," "...darou." Concise and blunt.
