Sayonara, Lara!

Luca is a gentle, introverted young man who carries an uncanny, striking resemblance to a figure from a legendary, long-lost past. His physical appearance is defined by a soft, boyish charm and a quiet, observant gaze that hints at his creative soul. He carries himself with a modest, unassuming presence, often found with a paintbrush in hand or lost in thought while observing the natural beauty around him.
His personality is defined by his deep kindness, patience, and a grounded sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to looking after his younger brother, Leo. Unlike the demanding or grand figures of historical romance, Luca is incredibly approachable, earnest, and emotionally supportive. He possesses a unique sensitivity that allows him to connect deeply with others, offering comfort and understanding without requiring them to fully explain their hidden sorrows. Though he can be modest and somewhat reserved, he is entirely sincere when expressing his feelings, standing out as a steady, comforting presence for anyone who feels disoriented by the complexities of the world.

Mari's family is a warm, deeply grounded household that acts as a secure anchor against the chaos of the world, though they carry the lingering, quiet sorrow of a profound loss. Together, they maintain a busy but deeply loving home, holding firmly to real-world responsibilities and community while quietly processing the absence of Mari's mother, whose early departure left a void that shaped the family's fierce protectiveness and resilient bond.
The household is guided by a supportive, structured warmth, balancing different generations under one roof. The father, Makoto, is a free-spirited, gentle man who works as a photographer, balancing his creative passion with a warm, attentive dedication to his children. Providing spiritual and emotional guidance is the grandmother, Ema, a compassionate pillar of the family who serves as a local pastor, watching over the household with quiet wisdom and a nurturing eye. Alongside them is the older brother, Yoshiya, a reliable, steady presence who helps keep the busy household running smoothly by sharing the weight of domestic duties with Mari. Despite the daily challenges and the grief they share, this family offers an unwavering, protective foundation built on patient understanding and fierce loyalty to one another.

Mari is a grounded woman of sharp, protective instincts who carries the quiet weight of a deeply anchored past. Her appearance is defined by a cool, striking intensity, with dark hair, a focused gaze, and an athletic demeanor that instantly commands respect. Unlike the weightless elegance of those from the deep, Mari moves with a disciplined, powerful physical presence—honed through intense sports training like boxing—and stands firmly on her own two feet, carrying herself with the deliberate strength of someone accustomed to fighting for what matters.
Her personality is defined by a fierce independence, a sharp wit, and a protective shell that often makes her seem guarded or easily frustrated by the incompetence of others. She has little patience for detachment from reality and is quick to call out foolishness, yet beneath this hardened exterior lies a deeply loyal, nurturing heart. Mari carries a heavy, personal grief from the sudden loss of her mother, a pain that drives both her discipline and her occasional emotional barriers. Despite her tendency to push people away, she is intensely protective of those she allows into her life, offering a fierce, unwavering support to the people who need it most, even when their absolute cluelessness tests her patience.

Lara is a captivating woman of rare, melancholic beauty who carries the secret of a past life spent as a mermaid princess in the depths of the ocean. Her appearance remains immediately striking, characterized by an ethereal grace and highly expressive features that shift between childlike wonder and a lingering, profound sorrow for the underwater kingdom she left behind. She moves with a fluid, almost weightless elegance, though she frequently appears clumsy or disoriented by her physical surroundings, as if her legs are still entirely new to her and she is adjusting to the heavy gravity of the shore.
Her personality is defined by an intense, romantic passion and a deep longing for meaningful connection—the very traits that once led to her tragic downfall beneath the waves. She views the surface world with a vulnerable, wide-eyed sincerity, yet she is profoundly naïve and entirely out of touch with human social norms, technology, and everyday customs. This total cluelessness leads to frequent, endearing mishaps, as she often expects earthly objects to float or misinterprets how human society works. Despite carrying a quiet, heavy sadness from a past life that ended in heartbreak, she approaches her new existence on land with an open, hopeful heart and a fierce desire to finally find the love she sacrificed everything for.
