Akari's love interest. She has met him prior to the beginning of the game, stating she has been "following" him in the itroduction cutscene. She only realized she was in love with him after having overheard a conversation between Meisa Ito and Eriko Sakura about Makio. Akari cares a lot for him and wishes to spend as much time with him as she can - no matter what the cost may be.

Students[]

Akari seemingly doesn't care about the fates of the students, and will get rid of them if they get in her way.

Akari has no problem talking to her schoolmates, however, some students don't feel particulary pleased when Akari confronts them, speaking in an awkward tone and wondering why Akari would confront them. They also don't seem to think highly of her. Akari is generally nice to her schoolmates and doesn't eliminate them in real life as she wishes not to cause herself too much trouble. However, in her dreams, she is easily able to kill off the entire school. If a student witnesses Akari killing someone, they will run away in fear. However, this is different with Ryoichi Taniguchi and Keita Hiyama as they will instead respond by strangling Akari from behind.

Mr. and Mrs Furutaka[]

Akari doesn't seem to have a negative relationship with either of her parents, but they do not physically show up during gameplay.
