📖 Character Introduction

🕰️ PAST TIMELINE (Set: 18th Century / Reflected in Diary: 1890–1894)

1. Haruki Mizuhara (水原 陽輝) – Male

Meaning: "Shining Radiance of Spring Water"

Age: 30 (at time of diary)

Status: Presumed Dead

Traits: Loyal, deeply moral, poetic, investigative genius

A police officer raised under Shinto spiritual values. His obsession with unsolved ritual murders in Kurokawa led him toward something darker—and to her. His diary, found decades later, bridges the present to a cursed past.

---

2. Makiko Anraku (魔紀子 暗楽) – Female

Meaning: "Child of the Demon / Dark Pleasure"

Age: Unknown

Status: Unknown (possibly immortal or undead)

Traits: Obsessive, intelligent, seductive, possibly inhuman

Once a beautiful woman cloaked in mystery, Makiko's presence infects timelines. Whispers claim she worshipped a memory-eating god. Her name vanishes from records after 1894—yet her echo remains in bloodlines, curses, and dreams.

🚔 MODERN TIMELINE (Set: 21st Century / Present Day)

3. Aiko Tanaka (田中 愛子) – Female

Meaning: "Child of Love"

Age: 29

Status: Alive

Traits: Empathetic, analytical, emotionally grounded

Raised by a single mother who died on duty. Aiko leads with calm intensity. But as she reads Haruki's diary, her dreams twist. A voice in her mind whispers not in words—but in memories she's never lived.

---

4. Kenji Sato (佐藤 賢治) – Male

Meaning: "Wise and Strong"

Age: 29

Status: Alive

Traits: Logical, tech-savvy, emotionally closed-off

A hacker who turned his skills to justice. Kenji's mind is a fortress of data and reason—until the past cracks through. Strange patterns, anachronistic codes, and a scent of incense in the digital dark.

---

5. Naomi Fujimoto (藤本 直美) – Female

Meaning: "Honest Beauty under the Wisteria"

Age: 28

Status: Alive

Traits: Tough, bold, impulsive, funny

Naomi's sarcasm shields her fears. Her parents hide a secret: an ancestor they never mention—one who may have danced in Makiko's ritual. Naomi's journey will force her to ask: how much blood memory is in her bones?

6. Riku Sakamoto (坂本 陸) – Male

Meaning: "Treasure from the Hillside"

Age: 28

Status: Alive

Traits: Sharpshooter, cheerful, trauma-buried

Riku hides a childhood scar under his charm. He was saved once by a nameless officer—but what if that officer's ghost is watching still? The diary calls to him like déjà vu made flesh.

Meaning: "The One Who Loves Nightmares, Born Beneath the Moon,In The Forest"

Age: 24 (unchanging)

Status: Alive

Traits: Mysterious, soft-spoken, fragile but unnerving

Daisuke is not who he appears to be. His origins are shrouded, his name sealed in forgotten records. Even his heartbeat feels borrowed. What he remembers may not belong to this lifetime.

---

Meaning: "Maple Leaf of the Moon Origin"

Another name: Emi Mori

Age: Unknown

Status: Unknown (presumed dead)
