Character

Machi

Machi is Ayane's older sister. At first glance, Machi seems like a sort of shy and innocent girl who is reaching her end of marriageable age, meiji-age tradition-wise. She is the quiet one, and also has a tendency to doze off if nothing serious is happening. Despite her innocent looks though, Machi is somewhat of a sadist: she often tortures Ayane with her voodoo doll, finding beauty in her pained, frightened expressions. She alludes to the fact that the more she likes someone, the more she wants to torture or play around with them, suggesting her sadistic acts may be her own sign of affection.
