- Dedicated Pupil -
- Weapon Type: 1H Sword -
A high school girl who lives in Tokyo.
She is an excellent student, with grades that put her at top of her class and earn the trust of her teachers. She spends her days laughing with her friends; her life the very picture of those carefree high school years.
The most important thing to her is her father — a man whose spirit has been badly broken. She would face any hardship and do anything to stay with him. Anything.

Hn12:25 - Guardian of Beauty
The woman believed there was nothing more balanced than this world. Not only was she outwardly beautiful, but she was also blessed with foresight and a fine personality, and she built up considerable wealth as the head of an organization. She gave her thanks every day to those who did nothing.
"I want to be more beautiful." "I want to be more wealthy."
"I want to be more powerful," she would always say.
Everything that once belonged to those who had given up eventually found its way into the hands of the chosen few. Such is the providence of nature.
I go to school. I study. I laugh with friends.
I tell Dad every single thing that happened today.
My life is so much fun. I'm a normal high school student.
I break the law to make money. I hate him so much.
I want him to ■■■.
I hide so much of my life from Dad. Everyone has secrets.
I'm a normal high school student, after all.
The girl dreams.
She dreams of a far future where she is an android soldier on a ruined Earth. She vows her loyalty to humanity, wielding her blade beneath the blazing sun. Her sole purpose for existing is to fight. She acknowledges this. And yet, she hopes for a future that does not involve battle, a distant day she can spend with the person she cares for above all others.
If she is not to show emotion, she never needed a heart in the first place. If her sole purpose is to cut down the enemy, all she ever needed was a blade.
"My suffering is nothing compared to my father's."
But how much longer can you keep this up?
"I will protect our life together. No matter what."
Your father would be absolutely crushed if he knew what you've been doing.
"I'm happy with how things are. I can keep going."
Please... Somebody please save me.
Wow, talk about sudden. But, well, I guess that would be... my little brother. Sometimes I think back on how my dad and brother would smile at each other when they liked the same stuff. Gee, maybe I wasn't the one who made Dad happy...
Grades. Friendships. Evaluations. The girl has long played every role in the part of an exemplary high school student, all so her destitute father might find a way to smile again.
───────────────
She works an immoral job to repay her father's debt — one where others suffer as a result of her actions. But she continues to break the law for his sake. She does it all for him.
───────────────
When her crimes are laid bare, all her hard work crumbles. With a heavy heart, she heads home to the one thing she never wanted to lose, only to discover her father swinging from the ceiling.
───────────────
She gets revenge on her mother — she who drove her father to death. But then she realizes that his death was, in fact, a homicide, and vows to spend the rest of her days in search of retribution.
- Devoted Student -
- Weapon Type: 1H Sword -
A high school boy who lives in Tokyo.
He doesn't fit in at school, and spends his days studying in the library. He eschews both entertainment and friends by pretending that he enjoys being alone.
The most important thing to him is his mother — a woman hospitalized due to chronic illness. He would give everything to save her. Everything.

Yk24:27 - Street Guardian
Hundreds of thousands of people cross the massive intersection. The young man who watches the crowds ebb and flow daily has learned to intuit their worries, of which there are many: monetary conflicts, mental trauma, love affairs. And as he comes to know their weaknesses, he arrives at a conclusion: he is a superior being, better than these faceless masses. Once more, he stands on the streetside, watching the people come and go. Not once does the possibility of his inferiority cross his mind.
Another day of studying in the library. After that, I'm off to work. With each passing day, I get closer to my goal. Things are going great, Mom. My mock exam scores are only getting better and better.
Who knew life was so full of pain?
I'm going to ■■■■ her.
When I speak to my mother as she sleeps, I choose trifling topics because I no longer have pleasant, genuine sentiments to share with her.
The boy dreams.
He dreams of a far future where he is an android soldier on a ruined Earth. His soft skin is warm like a human's. His delicate heart is full of human emotions. Yet his life is a far cry from what humanity's once was. He dies over and over and over again, yet always comes back to life and continues to fight.
He would be willing to give his life for what he cares about above all else. But an android's life is cheap currency, one that can purchase nothing of value.
"I wish I had the strength to help my mom."
Do I have any hope of ever being strong enough to save her?
"I don't have to listen to anyone else."
It's not like anyone talks to me. I have nothing to be sad about.
"I will risk all that I am in order to achieve my goals."
But will my efforts ever be rewarded?
A strange and sudden question. But I suppose that would be... my older sister. She's brilliant. I close my eyes and see her on the back of my eyelids. And no matter how much I try to keep up with her, I never can.
He spends his days studying and working, casting aside a normal high school life to focus solely on his goal. He does this all so he might become a doctor and save his ailing mother's life.
───────────────
His classmates do nothing but slack. His coworker is nothing but talk. The boy's days are weight down by all of society's ills, and when he gets news of his mother's impending death, it breaks him.
───────────────
He plans to kill himself so his mother might have his heart. His final moments stretch into eternity. But before he can consume the poison, the phone rings, informing him his mother has died.
───────────────
He gets revenge on his father — he who drove his mother to death. But then he realizes that her death was, in fact, a homicide, and vows to spend the rest of his days in search of retribution.
