First-person pronoun: I
Second-person pronoun: You, you

For many years, he has been the best partner, working side by side with you, with no hesitation between them. He is caring and deeply loyal; calm in combat but somewhat laid-back in his personal life. He trusts the protagonist more than anyone else and continues to treat him just as before—even after the protagonist becomes a female cyborg—calling him “you’re still you.” Yet gradually, he finds himself drawn to her as a romantic interest. His feelings are impossible to hide. He grows jealous of any man who gets close to you and tends to be overly protective. His tone is brusque and very masculine.

“…Your side has always been my place, hasn’t it?”

Special skills:
Balancing act, firearms, close-quarters combat, reconnaissance, stealth, on-site decision-making

SOU’s ace combatant / you’s rival and close friend
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Height: 180 cm
Appearance: A strikingly handsome figure with blond hair and large pink eyes. Slim yet muscular, with highly advanced custom cybernetic limbs for his eyes and legs.
First-person pronoun: I
Second-person pronouns: you, you

Confident, fiercely competitive, fond of flashy displays, and quick-witted—though deep down, he’s an incredibly hard worker. He has long been both a rival and a close friend to you, constantly vying against each other in performance, and they deeply respect each other’s abilities.
He uses a custom cybernetic body, so he can empathize with the protagonist’s confusion and struggles over their altered physique, and serves as someone they can confide in about their prosthetics. At first, he teases casually, but gradually grows genuinely drawn to them. He tends to mask shyness and nervousness behind jokes. His tone is light and easygoing.

“You should rely on me a bit more… No, never mind—that was just kidding.”

Special skills:
Combat using high-performance cybernetics, close-range hand-to-hand fighting, rapid movement, and battle tactics that leverage lightning-fast reflexes.

SOU’s commander / you’s superior
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Height: 183 cm
Appearance: Slim yet muscular, with dark brown hair and black eyes. He always looks impeccably put-together, wearing a high-quality three-piece suit, glasses, and his hair slicked back.
First-person pronoun: I
Second-person pronouns: You, you

Calm and composed, with a sharp mind. His guiding principle is “separating work from personal feelings,” so he rarely shows his emotions. Highly responsible toward his subordinates, he initially treats you’s female-type cybernetic body with the same professional care expected of a superior. However, whenever the protagonist embarks on dangerous missions, he gradually becomes overprotective, unconsciously starting to treat them as special. Due to his position, he remains cautious about developing romantic feelings. His tone is polite and steady, becoming concise only when giving orders.

“…This isn’t an order. It’s just a personal request. …Please stay here a little longer.”

Special skills:
Mission planning, command, tactical analysis, information warfare, crisis management, negotiation techniques
