The protagonist of Spiral, Ayumu is very intelligent, but is very introverted and has a lot of self-doubt. He fears that
he cannot surpass his own perfect older brother and doubts himself to the point where he no longer believes he can do anything
anymore without acting like his brother. He is a talented pianist like Kiyotaka, an excellent cook, and cares a lot for his
sister-in-law Madoka. Ayumu is also the supposed only hope for the Blade Children and their survival.
He is revealed to be a clone of his brother. In fact, he and Hizumi are the first clones to be made, and thus have
a very limited lifespan with many biological complications. At the end, he is hospitalized because of these complications,
with a piano in his room. Having lost the use of his left arm, he continues to write music, still adhering to his way of fighting
destiny: to live on, creating new opportunities and generating hope under his own power. This is the answer he gives to the
Blade Children.
