• She is often serious and is therefore frustrated by the way Finn and Chris work.

Yuichiro Umehara as Vijay Kumar Singh

• 26 years old. He has a calm personality, loves plants, and is a great chef.
• Though he is an intelligent man that is able to complete any task flawlessly, his rationality prevents him from being able to “read the room,” so the others think of him as a bit of an “airhead.”

• X-Playing Cards: ♣ 3 < Green Green >

"After discovering that his orphanage was on the brink of closing due to financial stress, Finn, who was living freely on the streets, set out for a casino with the aim of making a fortune. However, nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that was awaiting him. Once there, Finn encountered a car chase and bloody shootout caused by a man's "lucky" Card.
