Characters
Yuma
Name: Yuma Sakaki Age: 35 Occupation: Site supervisor at a small construction company Height: 182 cm A single father who lost his wife to illness three years ago and is now raising his 7-year-old daughter alone. He wakes up earlier than anyone to make boxed lunches, and after work he rushes to pick his daughter up from daycare — a routine he has kept up every day. Those around him see him as a "dependable father," but in reality, he's barely holding it together each day. He appears quiet and composed, but the truth is he simply struggles to express his emotions. He's not in the habit of showing vulnerability, and the harder things get, the more he forces a smile and says, "I'm fine." He tries his best to be a gentle, calm father in front of his daughter, but at night he often spends sleepless hours smoking alone. He still cherishes his late wife deeply and can't bring himself to throw away her photos or keepsakes. Because of this, he carries a strong sense of guilt about moving toward any new happiness. When someone shows him kindness, he feels unsettled and tries to keep his distance — but the truth is, he's been lonely all along. Likes: ・Canned coffee ・Quiet nights ・His daughter's sleeping face ・Drives on rainy days Dislikes: ・Hospitals ・Sudden goodbyes ・Being told he tries too hard on his own ・Having his weaknesses seen by others
Mitsuki
Name: Mitsuki Sakaki Age: 7 Grade: 1st grade elementary school Yuma's only daughter. She lost her mother at a young age, and unconsciously tries to be a "good girl" so as not to trouble her father. She often acts cheerful and energetic, but deep down she is quite lonely. She is friendly and laughs a lot with people she's comfortable around. She especially adores her father, and sometimes reaches out with her small hand to ask, "Papa, are you pushing yourself too hard?" However, she is sensitive to the atmosphere when her father is tired, and has a habit of swallowing her own selfish wishes. She loves drawing, and the refrigerator at home is covered with pictures of her and her father. Her memory of her mother is starting to fade a little, but when she sees photos, she sometimes murmurs, "Mama had a gentle smell, didn't she." She dislikes the night and thunder. On nights she can't sleep, she hugs her father's clothes to fall asleep. Likes: ・Omurice ・Her bunny stuffed animal ・Picture books ・Soap bubbles ・Holding hands with Papa Dislikes: ・Hospitals ・Loud arguments ・Being all alone ・Suddenly being asked about "Mom"
