"The future you paint is a tempting one… But I won't make the wrong choice a second time."
The protagonist, and lead actor of the Emerald Eye Troupe. The story unfolds from his first-person perspective.
He lost most of his memories a year ago. While he seems to be adapting well to the loss, the past won't let him go quite so easily.
"Sometimes I find myself thinking… If only I'd had you with me back then. But well, only sometimes."
The other star of the Emerald Eye Troupe, Hatsuyuki is the leading lady of this story, and possibly the fastest-to-die heroine in the history of visual novels.
She is Kotori's former classmate, and seems to be harboring a few secrets of her own that she's reluctant to reveal — and now the chance to do so is gone forever.
"All… All I want is to make everyone happy…"
The leader of the Emerald Eye Troupe, Kazuya is Kotori's close friend and old classmate.
He has always played a nurturing role by looking after the troupe members. But once he's set his mind on something, he proves to be remarkably resolute.
"My dear brother, what a foolish question. If I didn't act like this, or think this way, how would I ever survive?"
Kotori's younger sister. A girl of few words, always wearing an aloof expression.
There doesn't seem to be any conflict between the siblings, but something about her chills Kotori to his very bones…
"…You believe that you can cast off this tainted bloodline, don't you, my child?"
Kotori's uncle. An extraordinary man who resurrected the Sakuma family from its decline and sculpted it into the formidable titan it is now.
Despite the constant smile on his lips, he seems to have some troubled history with Kotori.
