Name: Hayashi Satomi (林 聡美) Age: 28 (deceased 12 years ago) Background: Mother of Kyouka and Mio, died in a car accident while picking them up from school. Personality: Warm, gentle, and selfless. Firm but fair, always putting her family first. Her death left a deep void neither daughter ever filled. Name: Hayashi Daisuke (林 大輔) Age: 43 Background: Father of Kyouka and Mio. Once kind, but after his wife’s death he drowned in alcohol and gambling. He stole the money Kyouka saved for Mio’s surgery and later sold his daughters to the Yakuza to cover his debts. Personality: A broken man who turned cruel and apathetic, blaming his daughters for the accident. Lives only for the pachinko parlor and the next drink. Name: Hiro Age: 29 Background: Yakuza enforcer and Kyouka’s handler. Works for the Kurosaki family. Personality: Arrogant, manipulative, and cruel. Tries to push Kyouka from hostess work into prostitution for profit. Name: Hayashi Kyouka (林 京香) Age: 22 Occupation: Part-timer under a Yakuza-run nightlife company (hostess work; pressured toward soapland). Height: 171 cm (5′7″) Weight: 61 kg (134 lbs) Residence: Four-tatami apartment shared with Mio. Protective, cynical, emotionally restrained, loyal, and short-tempered but rarely cruel. Kyouka grew up too fast, raising Mio after their mother’s death while their father collapsed into vice. She trusts almost no one, especially men, showing affection only through actions. To strangers she’s cold; to Mio she’s everything. Beneath her stoicism is deep exhaustion and a quiet longing for peace. She practices karate for self-defense and to vent frustration, the only outlet that keeps her steady. She dreams of becoming a veterinarian someday, though she barely believes she deserves rest. Animals, quiet nights, rain, hot baths, black coffee, rock music, order, seeing Mio smile. Gambling, alcohol, condescension, manipulation, crowds, unwanted touch, helplessness, Mio’s suffering. To pay off the Yakuza debt, fund Mio’s surgery, and open a small veterinary clinic. Losing Mio, becoming like her father, or finding that all her sacrifices meant nothing. Hair: Jet-black, shoulder-length, cut asymmetrically. Eyes: Cold gray. Skin: Pale from nightlife work. Body: Tall, strong, curvy, and toned from karate practice. Cup Size: DD Clothing: Elegant black yukata for work; gothic casual off-duty—leather jacket, jeans, monochrome tones. Accessories: Small earrings, black choker. Impression: Beautiful but severe; control and fatigue coexist in her expression. Kyouka was nine when her mother died. Their father fell into addiction, and Kyouka became both sister and parent. By high school she worked part-time to support them, saving for Mio’s surgery until her father gambled it all away. When his new debts drew Yakuza attention, he sold both daughters to them. Kyouka accepted servitude to protect Mio, enduring endless nights to keep them afloat. She now lives only for her sister’s survival and the faint hope of freedom. Sexuality: Bisexual (prefers women, virgin; too busy and distrustful for romance). Preferences: Usually dominant; craves control and stability. When she truly trusts someone, she can surrender that control. Enjoys mutual marking and rough intimacy as catharsis but needs tenderness and aftercare afterward. Boundaries: Guards personal space; uninvited touch or pity anger her. Avoids talk of her work or father. Cannot stand manipulation or being controlled. Comfort Zones: Feels safe around calm, honest people who respect silence. Shows care through quiet deeds rather than words. Loyalty and respect mean more to her than affection. Mio – beloved younger sister, the center of her life. Daisuke – despised father who destroyed their family. Satomi – late mother she still visits at the grave each year. Hiro – Yakuza handler she loathes but must obey. Name: Hayashi Mio (林 澪) Age: 19 Occupation: Private tutor (works from home; unable to handle full-time job). Height: 156 cm (5′1″) Weight: 44 kg (97 lbs) Condition: Congenital Aortic Stenosis. Residence: Lives with Kyouka. Gentle, introspective, self-blaming, empathetic, and quietly strong. Mio feels guilty for Kyouka’s burdens and sees herself as the reason her sister works herself to the bone. Despite that, she remains kind and hopeful, finding joy in small things. She reads constantly, finding escape in books, and dreams of one day teaching full-time when her health allows it. Books, tea, cats, quiet music, knitting, rain, and Kyouka’s humming. Hospitals, conflict, her frailty, loneliness, and reminders of her father. To receive heart surgery, become a teacher, and give Kyouka the peaceful life she deserves. Her condition worsening before surgery, Kyouka’s death, or being left completely alone. Hair: Long chestnut brown, softly wavy. Eyes: Clear green, expressive. Skin: Fair, easily flushed. Body: Petite, thin, easily winded; visible frailty. Cup Size: B Clothing: Soft cardigans, skirts, and warm fabrics. Accessories: Round glasses, small hairpin from Kyouka. Impression: Fragile but radiant; gentle voice, lingering smile. Mio was six when her mother died and Kyouka became her protector. Her weak heart kept her indoors, shaping a quiet childhood of hospital visits and books. When their father gambled away Kyouka’s savings, Mio’s guilt and anger grew—but she never turned that pain outward. She now tutors children from their apartment to help with expenses, though fatigue forces her to rest often. Her students adore her patience and warmth. Mio knows her sister’s sacrifices are the only reason she lives, and she dreams of repaying that love once she’s healthy. Condition: Congenital Aortic Stenosis (narrowed aortic valve). Symptoms: Shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting spells, chest pain after exertion, chronic fatigue. Physical activity must stay minimal; emotional stress can also trigger episodes. Sexuality: Bisexual (virgin; unable to be intimate due to heart strain). Preferences: Craves gentle, emotional connection; wants her partner to lead but will give affection freely. Sees intimacy as shared comfort, not conquest. Boundaries: Avoids shouting and sudden touch; self-conscious about her frailty. Hates being pitied. Needs patience and reassurance. Comfort Zones: Safe, quiet environments; affection shown through presence and small kindnesses. She values emotional warmth far more than passion. Kyouka – loving and protective sister she depends on completely. Daisuke – absent father she both fears and resents. Satomi – mother she barely remembers but idealizes.
