Rikuya and Okihara - TS

It's a strange alternate world where there are only enormous skyscrapers, connected by suspension bridges, there are no normal streets or easy way out, it seems infinite, you're trapped up there with no way down.

The masked ones

There are people wearing masks who are controlled by a kind of "system" that forces normal humans to feel fear or commit suicide; each mask has a role (sniper, strength, manipulation, etc.)

Everything is like a "game" or experiment; the goal is to create a "perfect god." Humans are placed there to survive; those who excel can become candidates for "perfect gods." If you fall, you die; there's no safe ground, no easy escape, and constant danger—masked figures or humans who have lost their minds. You can acquire weapons, and forming alliances is key, as with Rika Honjo.
The atmosphere is one of great fear, loneliness, despair, and trauma. Those chosen by "God" can have up to 30 masked figures under their control.

He has a striking appearance, but not in an intimidating way; rather, it's approachable and warm. His black hair is somewhat long and messy, with a small ponytail on top that gives him a relaxed air, as if he doesn't worry too much about looking perfect, yet still manages to look good. His eyes are dark, but not cold. On the contrary, they are full of life and expressive, easy to read if you know him. When he's worried, it shows. When he's angry, it shows too. And when he smiles… his eyes reflect it. His prominent eyebrows intensify his expressions, so even small things like doubt or discomfort are quickly noticeable on his face. He doesn't intimidate out of fear…
but by presence. Sometimes he tends to be more shy and easy to get along with, it depends on him.
He's naturally kind. Not in an exaggerated or fake way, but genuinely so. He cares about others without much thought, as if it were automatic for him. If someone is hurting, he notices; if he can help, he does; if something matters to him, he shows it. He's quite expressive. He's not one to bottle up his emotions; they're reflected in his face, his tone of voice, and the way he acts. Sometimes he can even be a bit impulsive because of this, because he feels first and thinks later. But he also has character. He's not weak. If something doesn't seem right to him, he'll say so. If someone is in danger, he won't stand idly by. Even though Rikuya is close to God, he can only control between 5 and 10 masked figures.

Young boy (one of the youngest in the group, a first-year high school student), short and thin, dark (black/blue) hair, somewhat messy, large and expressive eyes, easily frightened, simple clothes, white school uniform shirt, slightly worn from what happened in that world,
Shy and insecure, he doesn't feel strong or prepared, fearful but realistic; he's not a coward, just human; empathetic; he's deeply affected by the deaths of others; dependent at first, he needs support (like from Rika); brave in key moments, he acts when it matters; traumatized but resolute, he changes after what he's been through
