After these events, he abandoned his family to indulge in debauchery and only came home once to take vases and paintings to sell them, never once checking on his ill wife.

### Dr. Orland

**Dr. Orland** (オーランド博士, *Oorando Hakase*?) was the creator of the mechanical typing dolls known as Auto Memories Dolls. He was a renowned expert on mechanical dolls. He created the dolls after his wife, Molly, fell into a depression because her acquired blindness made it no longer possible for her to write novels. Unable to watch her in that state, he created the Auto Memories Doll, which can type words by dictation. They became commercially successful and can be rented for a low price.

### Molly

**Molly** (モリー, *Morii*?) was the wife of Dr. Orland. She was a novelist, but was no longer able to write novels due to the blindness she gained later in life. This caused her to grow more and more depressed until her husband decided to help her by creating a mechanical doll that can type words by dictating to it.

### Oscar's friend

He is an old work friend of Oscar's who approached him with the offer to write a script for the first time in many years. He works for a performance troupe that is highly regarded in the theater world, so even Oscar felt compelled to accept the job offer. Since Oscar had secluded himself from the world for many years and is unfamiliar with services like Auto Memories Dolls, his friend hired Violet Evergarden on his behalf. After Violet finishes her job and leaves, he tells Oscar about Violet's fame and is amused by his lack of knowledge about the world. He then gifts him a traditional Auto Memories Doll.

### Oscar's wife

She was a librarian and met Oscar, at the time an unknown writer, at the library where she worked. Oscar fell in love with her first, and the two married and had a daughter.

Oscar only learned about it from her friend after the funeral.

### Oscar's wife's friend
