Hiromi Sugita

Hiromi is one of Satoru's closest friends from their elementary school days, whose refined, androgynous looks frequently led classmates to mistake him for a girl. In the unaltered timeline, he becomes the third victim of a serial kidnapping case — deliberately targeted by the perpetrator to obscure the gender pattern and throw investigators off the trail. Thanks to Satoru's determined efforts to rewrite history, Hiromi survives and forges an entirely new future: he becomes a medical doctor, marries Kayo Hinazuki, and raises a child together, embodying the second chance that Satoru fought so hard to secure.
