Tomari is not a blood relative but was left with Asuka by her dying mother. His name is a pun – Tomari means “overnight stay” – and he is the only person who can enter Asuka’s dream-space without being harmed.

Asuka is not a typical magical girl. She has gray, weary eyes and never smiles. Born on the exact millennial shift (Jan 1, 2000 – in-universe), she is called Shinseki no Ko (Child of the New Century). She doesn’t understand her power – when someone falls asleep in the same room as her, their deepest regret manifests as a dream-monster. If she defeats it, their trauma vanishes; if she fails, she ages one year permanently.
Yoru runs a rundown shrine at the edge of the city. He never sleeps – hence he can’t trigger Asuka’s power. He taught Tomari how to lock dream doors. In the Kara Exclusive route, it’s revealed Yoru was the first test subject for the Kara Institute’s “Eternal Wakefulness” project. He hasn’t slept in 11 years. His exclusive scene involves him finally falling asleep next to Asuka – and dying peacefully in the dream battle, erased from reality afterward (a permanent death exclusive to this version). Age: Deceased (appears as ghost age 29) Role: Mentor spirit Exclusive form in Kara: Appears only in photo booth stickers left under pillows.
