And at the end of the reason that day, he just wants Osawa to be honest with his own feelings.
* MarriedToTheJob: In the past, so much so that his wife divorced him and took their daughter.
* MoodWhiplash: It probably wasn't best to preface news about the toilet being clogged or the fact that he ate the lunches meant for the Osawa and Ai with "something terrible has happened". Poor Osawa's worried enough about his daughters.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Tatanaka enters the kitchen and the bug detector goes off there is''un''protected.a close up of Kajiwara's face. His serious and concerned look reveals this is not the broken bug detector that is going off. He also goes in full detective mode again when he sees the emails from "A" has the same service provider as Osawa and rush to see if his fears are correct.
* RunningGag: Trying to offer Osawa bananas.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we see of him is him ramming his car through a barricade so that Tateno can get through to save Maria. He's very roughed up and looks to have a head wound from the process, and Tateno's concerned about his well-being. However, there's no time afterwards to mention him. Hopefully the barricade officers got him to a hospital.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tanaka reveals himself to be extremely envious of Osawa's successes, fame, fortune and marriage to Ai, while
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He's killed by Alphard
* KilledOffForReal: He is the only definite death in the story, regardless of ending.
* MeaningfulName / IronicName: Mamoru can mean "to protect", which is initially fitting in that

* BigOlEyebrows: Just look at that picture.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tanaka reveals himself to be extremely envious of Osawa's successes, fame, fortune and marriage to Ai, while he's left in the shadows despite being a facilitator in Osawa's work. So now he's taking what he feels is due.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He's killed by Alphard to prevent people from bypassing the dual-custody protection system that keeps the antiviral drug locked away. It's also to cover up tracks since Alphard can't risk anyone knowing their identity.
* KilledOffForReal: He is the only definite death in the story, regardless of ending.
* MeaningfulName / IronicName: Mamoru can mean "to protect", which is initially fitting in that he's a pharmaceutical director and Osawa's confidant. It becomes ironic in that he's actually part of the reason that so much is ''un''protected.

The actual Canaan that Maria befriended. She stars in her own bonus route and a [[Anime/{{Canaan}} spin-off anime.]]

* ActionGirl: Took out a whole room of thugs off-screen with nothing but a knife.
* ChildSoldier: After being orphaned by war and disease, she was picked up and trained in the art of killing. After a while she was picked up by Siam, who helped hone her abilities and skills to be an individual operative.
* DiseaseBleach: Her hair has been washed out after her brush with the Ua virus.
* TheFaceless: Her face is never shown in Maria's flashbacks, in order to hide how the "Canaan" we've spent the game with isn't her. Even when she appears in the true ending, she's still not shown clearly.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Who she is and what she's been up to is not shown in the main story.
* SuperSenses: Has some sort of super-soldier synesthesia where she can taste and see people's emotions, on top of other things.
* YouKilledMyFather: Though in the main story she refers to him as a "friend", Siam was more like a surrogate father figure to her. She desires to defeat Alphard to avenge his death.
