Franz d'Epinay

Franz is Albert's ride-or-die buddy, tagging along with him at the carnival in Luna. While Albert's all about fun, Franz has a more grounded vibe, always looking out for him and warning him to steer clear of the shady Count. But there’s more to Franz than just being the sensible one—he's got some serious feelings for Albert and doesn’t think twice about putting himself in danger to keep him safe. In the anime, it's pretty clear that their bond runs deeper than just friendship, hinting at something more complicated and intense.
