Height: 4'11” / 149.86 cm

Dementri is a homeless painter rumored to be able to foresee the feature. He argues that if he did have such powers, he wouldn't be poor. The rule goes, “if I do not owe you, then you can't proclaim a favor.” He's been taken advantage of many times, he hopes that by following this rule, it would lessen. Naive, stoic, sarcastic and careless, Dementri is one of a kind. The kind of guy to hear you say you love him, and reply with a “Thank You”. He would rather express his love than admit there is any inside him, at least then, no one would hurt him.

Vynn is the twin brother of Vidal, from the story Don't Speak. At sixteen, Vynn ran away from home after an argument with his parents about something that happened with a man they called Ramón. He left behind his family, with whom he did not get along, and his sister, who was the only person he loved. Vynn didn't know anything about his family, especially his sister. His heart broke every time he saw Vidal on painting posters or on newspaper covers. The boy looked like an exact copy of himself, deep down maybe he knew it and for that reason he sometimes saved pages with his photos.
