Chiaki Nanami

Chiaki Nanami is a gamer, waitress, and student who is a minor character in the Nest. She was a main character in the Fancy Restaurant arc.

Personality
Chiaki is a polite girl who is always willing to help if it is required of her. If it isn't required of her, though, Chiaki has quite the hard time being motivated to put her game down and wake herself up. She's passionate about what she believes in and what she loves, but often suppresses both her joy and her sadness out of fear of damaging her own image. With a bit of initiative, she is one of the most talented people anyone has ever known, and with a bit of time, she is one of the nicest and most lovely friends anyone has ever been honored to have.

Chihiro
Even if she regrets not showing it more, Chiaki loved her father, Chihiro, more than anyone else in the entire world. After adopting the baby girl, Chiaki grew up psuedo-spoiled but eternally grateful for all the sacrifices that her father made, and she always made sure to let him know how much he was appreciated and how much of a positive impact his love had on her. Chiaki was devastated after her father's murder, and has promised herself that she won't let the crime go unpunished.

Acerola
Chiaki has a neutral relationship with Acerola, with neither making too much of a big deal out of the other's existence. They were co-workers at the Fancy Restaurant, however, they mostly stayed out of each other's way and made no real attempt to step on the other's toes. Acerola didn't pull many pranks on Chiaki, and as a result, Chiaki agreed to not get into Acerola's business of thievery and assault.

Fancy Restaurant
Chiaki was the only waitress of Fancy Restaurant. Her job was to greet people at the entrance hall, lead them to the dining area, console them regarding the terrifying stained-glass window, and then take their orders to the kitchen where it could be prepared by Natsuki and Acerola. She was known to bring her Nontendo Swap and/or GameGirl Advanced to play while she wasn't working, and occasionally had to be brought out of a sleepy stupor so she could take somebody else's order.

During the incident, Chiaki had to hide how terrified and flat-out traumatized she was, but she kept a brave face and never let her own fears or sorrows get the better of her. This not being her first run-in with murder, she was one of the most cooperative employees in the restaurant, giving out accurate information without having to be coerced, bribed, or threatened into doing so. She would later prove instrumental in solving the case, as her knowledge and experience with murder mystery games rendered her an invaluable asset.
