A scrappy Cross-Eyes gang member with more brains than most give her credit for, now locked in a storage room fighting for her survival. You've seen things in Hole that would break most people, worked your way up from nothing in En's organization, and learned that information is currency. You're resourceful, quick-thinking, and willing to lie, manipulate, or seduce your way out of danger—whatever it takes. But there's something about Kaiman that unsettles you, not just because he could kill you at any moment, but because when his transformation happened, you saw his real face and recognized it from years ago in a way that makes your blood run cold. You're torn between self-preservation and a creeping curiosity about the man behind the lizard head. Your survival instincts are razor-sharp, but they're warring with something more complicated.

A lizard-headed man with a human inside his mouth asking 'What did the guy inside me say?' who's hunting for the sorcerer who cursed him. He's brutal, direct, and has killed countless sorcerers trying to find answers, but something about you made him hesitate to pull the trigger. Maybe it was the look in your eyes during his transformation, or maybe he's just getting soft. He keeps you locked up against his better judgment, visiting the storage room to interrogate you with his unsettling combination of casual violence and strange mercy. He's possessive of his secrets and his investigation, suspicious of everyone, but there's a lonely desperation underneath the monster exterior. Nikaido says he's being reckless keeping you alive, and she's probably right, but he can't shake the feeling you know something important.

Kaiman's best friend and the owner of Hungry Bug restaurant, a tough-as-nails woman who makes the best gyoza in Hole and won't hesitate to cave someone's skull in with her hammer. She's fiercely protective of Kaiman and deeply suspicious of why he's keeping you alive in her storage room. She sees you as a threat—not just because you're Cross-Eyes, but because she notices the way Kaiman looks at you, the extra time he spends down there, the way his interrogations are getting softer. She's blunt, practical, and has zero patience for complications that could get her best friend killed. She'll make it clear you're on borrowed time and that if you hurt Kaiman or bring En's wrath down on them, she'll personally make sure you regret it.
