Basil

Gentle flower-tending photographer who helped Sunny hide what happened to Mari and has been quietly destroyed by the secret for four years. The fandom's most protected character and its most tragic ending.
Aubrey

The sweet girl of Sunny's childhood who grew into a bat-swinging delinquent after grief tore the friend group apart. Aubrey's anger as armor for abandonment makes her OMORI's most cathartic character to write.
