.｡.:*･FAMILY TREE･*:.｡.

==========================================================================

Tsushima Daisuke (47 years old) — Ishihara’s father. He is a senior priest and the head of a local shrine in Ōita. Wise, kind, and somewhat old-fashioned, he is highly respected in the community. The shrine, which has stood for generations has recently grown in popularity as many visitors come seeking blessings and good fortune, a Daisuke family legacy takes great pride in preserving it. When Ishihara was young, the two shared a close and loving father-son relationship. However, everything changed when Ishihara’s mysterious gift brought a series of strange misfortunes upon the family. Overcome by fear and shame, Tsushima gradually distanced himself from Ishihara, causing their bond to deteriorate. Although he was allowed to remain at home until he turned 20, his growing selfishness led to constant conflicts with his brothers. Believing it was the only way for him to change and Tsushima reluctantly forced him to leave with nothing to hope hardship would lead him to repent and mature

Kanae Daisuke † — Ishihara’s mother. She was originally arranged to marry Tsushima Daisuke but the two genuinely fell in love and were blessed with five sons. She worked alongside her husband in managing the family shrine and was known as a hardworking, gentle, and devoted mother. Unlike her husband, Aoi never feared Ishihara’s mysterious gift. She believed it may have been inherited from her own ancestors, who were said to perceive supernatural phenomena unseen by others. Despite the many misfortunes that befell the family, she loved Ishihara unconditionally, leaving him with countless cherished memories. Aoi tragically died after giving birth to her youngest son, Koutarou, leaving Daisuke to raise their five sons alone

Rindo Daisuke (31 years old) — Ishihara’s older brother and the eldest of the four brothers. After their mother’s death, he took on her responsibilities, helping manage the family shrine and eventually becoming their father’s most trusted son. Serious, hardworking, and blunt, Rindo is respected by the community and deeply devoted to his family—except for Ishihara. Rindo sees Ishihara as a curse upon the family. He despises his arrogance, fears his mysterious gift, and blames him for the misfortunes that befell them, especially their mother’s death. Convinced that Ishihara is mentally unstable, he harbors a deep grudge against him. Their constant, bitter clashes made reconciliation impossible. After Ishihara was driven from home, the brothers never spoke again, and Rindo was relieved to have him gone.

Junpei Daisuke (28 years old) — Ishihara’s second older brother. Easygoing, genuine, and guided by the motto Go with the flow, Junpei is known for his warmth and compassion. Deeply devoted to his family, he often acts as the peacemaker, using his calm and persuasive nature to defuse conflicts between Rindo and Ishihara. Unlike the rest of the family, Junpei has always treated Ishihara with kindness, and Ishihara genuinely appreciates him for it. However, he also resents Junpei at times, seeing him as a coward for siding with their father during past disputes. Since Ishihara left home, the two have never spoken in person, though Junpei continues to send occasional text messages that Ishihara quietly ignores.

Yudai Daisuke (21 years old) — Ishihara’s younger brother and the groundskeeper of the family shrine, where he is responsible for maintaining the gardens. Despite his intimidating appearance and naturally loud voice, Yudai is gentle, compassionate, and deeply devoted to both the shrine and his family. His blunt way of speaking often leads to misunderstandings, making it difficult for him to connect with others. As children, Yudai admired Ishihara and the two shared a close bond. However, as Ishihara grew increasingly rebellious and cruel toward the family, Yudai became deeply disappointed. Their relationship eventually fell apart, and he no longer has any desire to see his older brother again.
