Konomiya Haruka

A classmate of the protagonist.

She is the very image of a refined young lady and comes from a wealthy family. Shy and reserved, she struggles with social interactions. While she has quite a few female friends, she can hardly bring herself to speak to boys. Her feelings for the protagonist only make matters worse—she becomes so self-conscious around him that even saying his name proves difficult.

During this year’s summer vacation, she joined a small group of classmates on a four-day seaside trip, staying at her family’s villa in Izu. Having the protagonist there with them allowed the distance between them to close, if only slightly. Yet even after the new term began, their relationship showed no real signs of change.

Then came Hayami Kaede’s sudden confession—an event that finally drove her to make a momentous decision.
