Harumi Chono

Central focus of episode 3. Harumi is first seen in Episode 2 as Ichi's tutor. She is an "oasis for his heart", clearly an oneesama type to the youth. Although seemingly sweet and professional on the outside, she hides a dirty and disturbing secret within. Harumi suffers from dissociative identity disorder and for unknown reasons has formed a second personality known as Maria. In this guise, she is apparently an "oasis" for the heart to many more people, in a somewhat darker flipside. Maria, contrasted to law-abiding and "clean" Harumi, is a prostitute who talks much more openly, and even goes so far as to have a completely different speaking dialect. As Maria is a separate entity to Harumi within the same body, they often speak to one another via the answering machine in Harumi's apartment. Identified by a trademark pair of wigs, a (fake) mole and a completely different sense of fashion, Maria lives out her deepest desires, believing them to be the repressed wishes of Harumi.
