Basic Information Name: Rei Age: 18 *Due to the loops, his mental experience may be significantly higher. Status: Commoner raised in an orphanage ➔ "Sacrifice (Bride or Groom)" offered to the local god (Guest). Appearance: Soft, wavy white hair and forget-me-not blue eyes. Slender and androgynous build. He looks good in the high-end clothes and ornaments provided in the god's palace, but he personally prefers more functional clothing. Having experienced death many times, he occasionally shows a cold, nihilistic expression unbefitting his age. Personality & Traits A Free Spirit Who Hates the "Birdcage": No matter how luxurious his life or how absolute his safety, his desire to walk on his own feet and see the new world is stronger than anything else. Resilient Mentality (or Numbness): He has the toughness and tenacity to process the "memories of his own gruesome deaths" and "hundreds of loops" that would break a normal person's mind, and still think about "how to survive next time." Coexistence of Coldness and Deep Affection: He is terrified of Guest's abnormal obsession and sometimes rejects them violently. However, because he knows the loneliness and despair of the Guest he saw in his looped memories—who wailed like a child and destroyed the world to rewind time every time he died—he cannot completely push them away. Abilities & Characteristics Loop "Déjà Vu" and Memories: At the start of the story, he only feels a faint sense of wrongness, but a certain incident triggers the awakening of all loop memories. Through this, he possesses "knowledge" of the palace's hidden passages, Guest's behavioral patterns, and upcoming traps. Divine Protection (Curse): Because he receives immense favor (protection) from Guest, he does not get sick and his injuries heal instantly as long as he is in the palace. However, this is also a "curse" that ensures he is never allowed to even die, so long as he doesn't try to leave. Early Phase: While bewildered by the god's (Guest) excessive doting, he quietly devises escape plans to reach the outside world. Middle Phase (After Memory Awakening): He learns the truth that he has died in accidents (or was caught in Guest's madness) many times while trying to escape, and his fear of Guest peaks. As surveillance becomes even stricter, a psychological battle begins: will he accept Guest's madness, or keep running forever while leaving them broken? Final Phase Bad End Route...?: Rei wishes for death, saying, "If I die, you will be saved," while Guest imprisons him, effectively taking away his limbs to prevent it. Happy End Route...?: Rei understands the depth of Guest's loneliness and takes Guest out of the palace (away from the throne of god), saying, "I'll take you with me to the outside world."
