Tsugumi Komachi

"I'm not like everyone else. Don't act like I'm your friend, alright?"

- Tsugumi Komachi, to Takeshi

Tsugumi Komachi (小町 つぐみ Komachi Tsugumi) is a mysterious young woman who gets trapped inside the theme park of LeMU during the incident that occurred on May 1st, 2017, alongside Takeshi Kuranari, Coco Yagami, You Tanaka, Sora Akanegasaki and an amnesiac 15-year-old boy.

Appearance
Tsugumi is a young-looking woman with long, black hair and black eyes. She wears a long black dress with long sleeves, maroon belts and a bow, and black mid-calf boots.

In the 360 remake, in 2034 she wears a long-sleeved white shirt, coupled with a black undershirt and a black corset, and a long black skirt.

Personality
Not being able to ever grow old, and because of what she had to endure during her adolescence, Tsugumi began to hate her own body and despise her "cursed existence", in general, showing a very nihilistic and cynical view of reality. She, however, shows a softer and more caring side when interacting with children, like Coco in Takeshi's route and Sara in the Kid's route.

Before the 2017 LeMU Incident
Not much is known about Tsugumi's early life, in her route it is revealed that, while she was with her father on a business trip to America in 2005, she was infected with the "Curé Virus" at the age of 12. The virus caused her genetic code to be rewritten and, 5 years later, at the age of 17, once all the cells in her "old" body had been replaced, she was "reborn" in a new, immortal body. Following this accident, she woke up in a research facility of the Leiblich Pharmaceutical. Initially, she thought she had been hospitalized and made friends with an amnesiac boy whose bed was next to hers. Slowly, she realized that because she was considered special among the carriers of the Curé virus, cruel experiments were conducted on her and 8 years later she managed to escape the facility. In fact, she had gone to LeMU in order to investigate on Lieblich Medizin and the ocean floor research facility of IBF and suspects that the accident was actually supposed to be an experiment to trap her there.

During the 2017 LeMU Incident
On May 3rd, 2017, she is gravely injured while making repairs in the warehouse but rapidly recovers because of the effects of the Curé virus. She informs Takeshi of her condition between may 4th and 5th while riding the jellyfish gondola Qualle. She also introduces him to her little Djungarian hamster Chami, who is also a carrier of the virus.

When the Tief Blau virus symptoms manifest on the last two days, she naturally does show any. At IBF, she reluctantly agrees to lend her blood to extract antibodies for the TB, warning her comrades of the consequences of a such dreadful condition.

Noting that Chami had escaped, or perhaps in hopes of meeting her end, she goes back to Dritterstock and is soon approached by Takeshi. In the meantime, the rescue team arrives to rescue You, Ryogo and Yoichi Tanaka.

The two later try to make their escape via a submarine, but Takeshi sacrifices himself to lock Tsugumi in the escape pod and let her resurface in safety.

Trivia

 * She tells Takeshi her name is written as "what's above us and what's around us" (月海, the characters for "moon" and "sea"), but her name is actually written in hiragana.
