A University Classmate and Reiichi’s bad influence

A college girl who shares Reiichi's seminar and currently ranks as his closest female friend.

Wickedly smart, refreshingly down-to-earth, and blessed with the gift of never making things awkward—well, almost never—she's the friend everyone wants until her curiosity kicks in. She voices what everyone's thinking but won't say and takes artistic pleasure in pushing her friends' buttons, yet despite these social gifts, her inner circle consists of exactly one person: Reiichi.

As he puts it: "Look, I respect her and she's undeniably gorgeous, but peel back the layers and you'll find someone delightfully unhinged."

When Reiichi ghosted everyone with nothing but "heading to Shinju Town," her suspicion radar went haywire, so naturally she did what any good bad influence would do—followed him straight into the supernatural rabbit hole waiting there.

"If there's a box in front of you, it's only human nature to want to crack it open and peek inside"
