Lannion (ラニオン) is a 7-year-old orphan who formerly resided in the Grace Field House. He is an energetic boy who is often seen around his best friend, Thoma. He is later brought into the escape plan alongside Thoma, Nat, and Anna after the truth of the orphanage is revealed.

After his success of escaping Grace Field alongside 14 other orphans, Lannion now seeks to find William Minerva, whom he and his team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons.

Appearance
Lani is a young boy with light blue eyes and noticeably smaller pupils, freckles, a wide smile, and one missing tooth. He has short, blonde hair styled into a single spike that resembles an onion. On the left side of his neck, he has the identifying number "54294" from his time at Grace Field House.

Personality
Lani is a mischievous and childish boy who enjoys pulling pranks along with his best friend, Thoma. He is also resourceful, as he invented a water-bottle rope device which played a big part in the escape, enabling the orphans to escape from Grace Field House. Although he is a bit cowardly, blunt and straightforward, he has a strong will and cares deeply for his family.

Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Lani went through the same routine every day in Grace Field House.

Lani was first seen playing tag with his siblings of the Grace Field House, where he was almost immediately caught by Norman. A few days later, during the same game, he was caught by Krone along with Nat, Thoma, and Anna.

Jailbreak Arc
It is revealed that he, along with Nat, Anna and Thoma was brought into the escape plan after Don and Gilda. Lani was seen being horrified when Isabella carried Emma with a broken leg, to which he understood that it was Isabella's doing. During the two months after Norman's shipment, Lani and his siblings got instructions from Emma on how to train the orphans for the upcoming escape. Lani, along with Thoma, also assisted in the escape, making a decoy for Ray and fastening the zip lines in order to cross the cliff. On January 15, 2046, Lani and his siblings escape from Grace Field House.

Thoma
Growing up as orphans in Grace Field House, Lani and Thoma have grown up as best friends and developed a close-knit brotherly bond. They are always seen together and whatever they do; playing, pulling pranks, inventing things, or running away from demons, they do together.

Emma
Lani loves Emma like a sister and admires her as the 'leader' of their group. However, due to her child-like soul, he also likes to mess with her and pull pranks on her along with Thoma.

Ray
Ray is like a brother to Lani. He stated that he would not let Ray die in their escape from Grace Field House and therefore was brought into the plan to save Ray. Ray also tends to share his words of wisdom with Lani and Thoma. Despite that, Lani likes to mess with Ray as well and comment on his tendency to put himself in dangerous situations.
