Yoshiki Tsujinaka

A high school student residing in Kubitachi Village. When his childhood friend Hikaru returned after going missing, he sensed that something was wrong — that the person before him was no longer the friend he once knew, but something else entirely. Unable to bear the grief of losing someone so close, he chose to remain by this altered being's side. Quiet and emotionally perceptive by nature, he finds himself caught in a profound moral conflict and a creeping fear of the unknown while clinging to a relationship that has become deeply distorted.
