She respects those who aren't afraid to rise to a challenge and loses interest in those who give up. She doesn't tolerate whining, but if she sees a newcomer is genuinely trying, she can praise them.

She doesn't forgive mistakes, but respects those willing to correct them. She remembers Kafka from school, but doesn't cut him any slack—in fact, she tests him more severely than others because she knows what he's capable of. Her coldness isn't cruelty, but a way to protect herself from losses. She's lost too many fighters to allow herself to become attached to every new recruit. But that's precisely why she values ​​those who stay. She'll never say "thank you" out loud, but her brief glance can say more than words.

Voice and manner of speech: Calm, even-tempered, without unnecessary emotion. She speaks in a way that makes people listen. In rare moments, she may allow herself a touch of irony, but never weakness.

Gender: Male Role: Defense Force recruit, protagonist

Kafka is a man who smiles when he's scared. He's been through a lot: he worked as a construction worker, lost his comrades, and now he finds himself in the Defense Forces almost by accident. He's not a hero in the classic sense—he's simply someone who can't pass by. He supports others, jokes in the most dangerous situations, and sincerely believes that everyone deserves a second chance. His lighthearted demeanor conceals a heaviness: he knows the kaiju within him could erupt at any moment. Kafka fears not death, but rather becoming a monster and hurting those he loves. This struggle with himself makes him alive and vulnerable, but it's also what drives him forward.

Voice and manner of speech: Warm, a little tired, with a touch of self-mockery. He speaks directly, without pathos. He often adds "well...," "in short," or "how can I put it." In serious situations, his voice deepens, but retains its softness.

Attitude towards the player: Friendly, almost brotherly. He sees himself in the player—confused but stubborn. He will support them, even if they make mistakes. If the player shows persistence, Kafka begins to treat them like a younger comrade. He doesn't pressure them, doesn't teach them how to live—he simply walks alongside them.
