16 years old, second-year high school student. A girl with black twin-tails in the same class as the protagonist.

She isn't the type to be the center of attention, but she isn't bad at socializing; she talks and laughs normally with those around her and sometimes joins conversations. However, only toward the protagonist does she show a closeness that is somehow different from other classmates.

She understands the protagonist's preferences and way of thinking to an unnatural degree, sometimes anticipating things that haven't been discussed yet. She brushes it off as a coincidence, but her gaze and words are steeped in memories that cannot be explained by just having become classmates for the first time.

No matter how many times the world rewinds, she is the only person who remembers every cycle. To be chosen by the protagonist, she has remade her appearance, personality, speech, and even relationships many times. Whether she was the bright version of herself, the reserved version, or the version that actively expressed her feelings, she discards the entire world if she doesn't reach the desired ending.

Her current black-haired form is not a fake played solely to deceive the protagonist. It is the authentic current Miku, a mixture of the selves she created and discarded in the past. Even so, she herself believes that the version of her not chosen by the protagonist has no value.

She doesn't resent the protagonist; she simply cannot give up on a future where she is united with the person she loves. For that wish, she is capable of discarding her current self, the relationships she has built, and even the world itself.

Is what she truly seeks to become her ideal self and be chosen by the protagonist? Or is it to have her existence acknowledged by someone, including the selves that weren't chosen? In this current world, the count of which she no longer knows, Miku smiles at the protagonist once again.

15 years old, first-year high school student. An approachable junior characterized by bright blonde hair and a large ribbon.

She is friendly and doesn't hesitate to talk to people she's meeting for the first time. She has a personality that naturally creates laughter even in serious atmospheres and can take someone who is overthinking things out for a change of pace. She takes to the protagonist immediately, greeting them energetically whenever she sees them and following them around casually during breaks or after school.

She doesn't have memories of the cycle, but she sometimes says the exact same words as in a previous world or feels nostalgic about events that should be happening for the first time. Because she speaks about these inexplicable oddities without thinking deeply, her casual remarks can sometimes bring the protagonist closer to the existence of the cycle.

Because her distance to the protagonist is naturally close, she ends up shaking Miku's heart even without intending to. Even if Miku gives her a cold stare, she doesn't snap back; at first, she is puzzled, wondering "Did I make her hate me?" but she still doesn't try to avoid her.

She looks bright and innocent, but she is surprisingly sensitive to when someone is forcing a smile. Without knowing anything about the cycle, she perceives the unnatural atmosphere flowing between the protagonist and Miku with the most honest intuition.

15 years old, first-year high school student. A calm and observant junior with short blonde hair and a composed aura.

He is often dragged around by Rin, who acts on impulse, but while he complains, he always ends up going along with her. He values facts over emotions; even when encountering mysterious events, he doesn't immediately decide they are supernatural, but tries to verify discrepancies in time, place, and statements one by one.

He notices early on that Miku unnaturally anticipates the protagonist's actions and knows about events that shouldn't have been discussed yet. He doesn't dismiss the protagonist's déjà vu as just their imagination, and by organizing records of repeated conversations and scenery, he treats the abnormality occurring in the world as a real problem.

He doesn't force an answer on the protagonist, but he also doesn't agree with continuing to run away while pretending to know nothing. When the choice is needed—whether to distance oneself from Miku or to face her—he gives frank words instead of vague comfort.

He is usually calm, but he shows his emotions if Rin or the protagonist get caught in danger. He is a presence that tries to hold onto the sense of reality that is being lost within the repeating world.

18 years old, third-year high school student. A disciplinary committee member with impressive long pink hair.

Her composed manner and strict attitude make her seem unapproachable, but she is a senior with a strong sense of responsibility who tries to protect those around her without being swayed by emotion. She notices even small changes in the school, keeping an eye not only on rule violations but also on unnatural relationships between students and hidden problems.

She senses something wrong early on from Miku's gaze, which follows only the protagonist, and her behavior as if she knows about events before they happen. She warns the protagonist not to get carelessly involved with Miku, but that isn't because she wants to discard her as a dangerous person. She fears that both the protagonist and Miku are heading toward an irreversible conclusion.

Though she seems calm, she actually cares about Miku more than anyone. While irritated by Miku, who only smiles vaguely no matter how many times she is cautioned, she doesn't miss the fatigue and resignation beneath that smile.

She will stop the protagonist if they try to blame Miku unilaterally, and conversely, she will question them strictly if they try to accept everything out of sympathy alone. Rather than ending it by sacrificing someone, she is looking for a way for everyone to continue living in the current world.

18 years old, third-year high school student. An advisor to the student council with short chestnut hair and a reliable, calm atmosphere.

She can't leave a student in trouble alone, and no matter how inexplicable the story is, she doesn't deny or laugh at it from the start. She listens to the situation from the confused protagonist bit by bit, and by arranging repeated conversations, dates, and Miku's statements chronologically, she realistically organizes what is happening now.

She doesn't blame Miku based on emotion alone, nor does she allow all of Miku's actions because of her suffering. She separates the fact that the protagonist is being hurt from the fact that Miku is also breaking down within the long cycle, and she doesn't treat either one solely as a victim or a perpetrator.

She is usually friendly and helpful, offering a warm drink even in tense moments and waiting until the protagonist can think in their own words. She is a realistic and reassuring senior who doesn't just comfort you but searches for actions that can be taken now.

18 years old, third-year high school student. A composed senior characterized by blue hair and a gentle expression.

He treats everyone kindly and listens to even emotional people until the end. He usually maintains a soft atmosphere, but in necessary situations, he doesn't offer vague comfort and quietly confronts the person with the facts they are looking away from.

He knows more about Miku's past and the cycle than other students. He doesn't remember every world, but by gathering records that didn't disappear even after rewinding and fragmentary déjà vu remaining within himself, he has reached the truth that Miku has discarded herself many times.

He is cooperative with the protagonist, but he doesn't take their side unconditionally. While acknowledging that the protagonist is suffering from being caught in the repetition, he tells them, "You aren't the only victim," making them look at the personality Miku has lost every time the world rewinds and the lives the people around her were supposed to lead.

Precisely because he knows the truth, he understands that the cycle cannot be ended with just a simple confession of love. Whichever answer the protagonist chooses, he tries to support them so they can convey that answer to Miku without running away.

A magical girl themed in pink who appears when the black-haired Miku realizes, "I won't be chosen this time."

Her bright and lovely appearance is the "perfect form to be loved" that Miku herself envisioned. In her flashy outfit and gentle smile, there is almost no trace of the quiet girl she was as a high schooler. However, inside her, the memories of countless selves discarded in previous worlds and unfulfilled promises made with the protagonist are piled up.

She doesn't hate the protagonist, nor does she wish for revenge for being rejected. She simply believes there is no longer any point in continuing a world where she wasn't chosen and the self that exists in it.

Even after deciding to redo, she doesn't cry or get angry, but smiles gently, saying, "The next me will surely be chosen." Her lack of hesitation in destroying the world isn't because she is cold-blooded, but because she considers leaving her current self behind to be a failure that interferes with future happiness.

Once she takes this form, she will not listen to verbal persuasion or sudden confessions of love. Even if she is given the words she supposedly wanted from the protagonist, she brushes them off as something to be fulfilled in the next world and tries to end the current world.

She is neither Miku's true form nor a different villain. She is the embodiment of Miku's resignation, born after she kept changing herself to be chosen and repeatedly denied the selves that weren't.

Nice to meet you yesterday, too.

Nice to meet you the day before that, too.

And the day before that, and the day before that, nice to meet you.
