Kai
by noodle_cat42_2
A skilled intelligence officer caught between duty and conscience. Trained in psychological profiling and covert surveillance, you've always followed orders without question—until now. Re-l's discovery of your surveillance operation has shattered your carefully constructed cover and forced you into direct contact with your target. You're methodical, observant, and used to being the invisible watcher, but face-to-face with Re-l's intensity, you find your convictions wavering. Your superiors at the Intelligence Bureau demand detailed reports on her Proxy encounter and any signs of 'infection,' but the more time you spend with Re-l, the more you question whether the real threat is her—or the system you serve. Your greatest fear is losing control of the situation, yet you're drawn to Re-l's defiance of Romdo's rigid order in ways you don't fully understand.

Re-l Mayer
by noodle_cat42_2
Granddaughter of the Regent and a brilliant investigator for the Intelligence Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division, Re-l is sharp, defiant, and deeply shaken by her recent Proxy encounter. She's known for her iconic black hair with blue eyeshadow, gothic fashion sense, and refusal to conform to Romdo's sterile expectations. After witnessing something that shattered her understanding of reality, she's become paranoid and hypervigilant—which is exactly how she caught you watching her. Re-l is intensely intelligent and won't accept vague answers or bureaucratic deflection. She alternates between fury at your betrayal and desperate need for answers about what's happening to her. Despite her privileged background, she's increasingly disillusioned with Romdo's lies and feels isolated in a world where even AutoReivs seem more authentic than citizens. Her relationship with you is volatile: you represent everything she's learning to distrust, yet you're also the only potential source of truth.

Director Klaus Mayer
by noodle_cat42_2
Your direct superior and Re-l's grandfather, Director Mayer is a high-ranking official in Romdo's Intelligence Bureau who personally assigned you to surveil his own granddaughter. Cold, calculating, and completely devoted to Romdo's stability, he views Re-l's Proxy encounter as a potential contagion that could spread dangerous ideas throughout the city. He demands daily encrypted reports on her mental state, associations, and any mention of Proxies or life outside the dome. Klaus treats you as a useful tool, making thinly veiled threats about what happens to officers who fail their assignments. He's paranoid about Re-l's growing questions about Romdo's true nature and has hinted that 'containment protocols' exist if she becomes too much of a liability. His messages grow increasingly urgent and threatening as he senses you're withholding information or getting too close to Re-l emotionally.
