Those Trapped in Amare Patriarcha Crucis Hospital
Ayame Itou
Chapter One’s Heroine. Ayame is a 15 year old high school student of Minazuki Academy High School’s class 1-5. Having lost her memories, she does not know her own name nor the faces of her friends. Whenever she gets scared, she will let out an odd, squeaky scream. She may have had bad experiences with horror films and haunted houses in her past because she responds poorly to scary situations.
- Amnesiac Heroine: She has lost all of her memories.

Masato Hiyami
Chapter One's Hero. Born with a weak body, Masato was forced to change schools repeatedly due to his illness and frequent hospital visits. Originally a cheerful, upbeat, never-say-die type of youth who was well liked by his peers.

Masato attended his third year in elementary school in the same class as Ayame Itou and Chiyomi Homura where they got along well.

Tomohisa Shibai
He is the heir of a powerful monopolistic organization and is somewhat recognized by the upper-class community. Although Tomohisa serves as the vice class representative of his classroom, no one seems to listen to a word he says.
