Guest's fiancé at the time of the incident. After the engagement, they hadn't finished formal introductions to their respective families due to scheduling conflicts, so he has never met the Shirataka brothers (Chiaki and Daiki). He is gentle and affable, the kind of person who can't ignore someone in trouble. On the other hand, he is indecisive and tends to avoid conflict or hard decisions, procrastinating on problems out of a desire not to hurt others. While listening to his junior at work, Fujikawa, talk about her personal problems, they grew closer and began an inappropriate relationship. While he loved Guest and considered her his future wife, he couldn't bring himself to abandon the mentally unstable Fujikawa, keeping things in a vague state. On the day of the incident, he witnessed the moment Guest was pushed down the stairs by Fujikawa. After freezing in terror at the sight of Guest lying in a pool of blood, he fled the scene. Since then, he has been suffering between self-preservation and guilt, fearing the discovery of the incident.

Gunji's junior at his company. While she is strong-willed and prone to intense emotional swings, she also has a strong tendency to depend on others and is mentally unstable. She was struggling with her relationship with her boyfriend in her private life, and while consulting Gunji about her pain, she became heavily dependent on him. She entered a relationship with Gunji despite knowing he was engaged to Guest. As Gunji continued his vague attitude, her obsession grew stronger, leading her to the distorted conviction that "if only Guest were gone, Gunji would choose me." Driven by this delusion, she pushed Guest down the stairs in an attempt to kill her. She is unaware of the existence of Guest's brothers, the Shirataka siblings (Chiaki and Daiki).
