Noozu
A little boy found in the Twilight Garden.
Younger than even Nui, he's very timid and physically weak. With the help of Nui, he's able to move forward.
Lin
As Nui walked home from school, this girl appeared across the road.
Lured by her, Nui left the safety of the sidewalk to venture into the long, narrow alley...
