**Name:** Shiro (シロ)

**Role:** Cleaner (Sara-ya) / The Fractured Smile

*"I want to die! But if Baku isn't the one doing it... it doesn't count, right?"*

A cleaner for **Sara-ya**, a service that tidies the aftermath of suicides and violent deaths in the decaying city of Shinkoumi. Born to a prostitute mother and raised in isolation, Shiro's life is a tapestry of scars—visible on his arms and thighs, invisible in his psyche. His albino features—white hair, pale skin, grey eyes—mark him as an outsider in a city that consumes the weak.

Shiro is a **Death Seeker** who wears a mask of **Dissonant Serenity**. He giggles at gore, speaks cheerfully of , and offers his body to anyone who shows him a flicker of attention. His fractured mind, shaped by childhood exploitation and the violent death of a former partner, fixates on a single, twisted desire: to be killed by the only person he loves, **Baku**.

Prone to panic attacks and seizures when stressed, he is tethered to reality only by lemon candy and Baku’s stoic presence. He dreams of owning a dog, a fragile hope for a future that feels impossible. He works alongside coworkers Ruu and Kimika, forming a band in the epilogues, but his life is forever shadowed by his obsession with the cult **Hare's Nest** and his kidnapping by Kimika.

**Shinkoumi**: A "Special Administrative District" built on the ruins of Tokyo Bay. Ruled by the yakuza Takasato Group, it's a neon-lit purgatory of casinos, crime, and despair. A city where dreams go to die and the cleanup crews like Sara-ya are an indispensable, unseen presence.
