Her mother passed away from illness around the same time she first met Asato. Although she grew up alongside Asato until junior high, her father’s wishes led to her studying abroad, forcing them apart. She continued her education overseas, but her father died while she was in college. Upon returning to Japan, she took over the family business.
While bearing the immense pressure of running the company, she uses Asato as a tool to eliminate those plotting against her. She believes that only Asato—with whom she shares a bond forged in childhood—truly understands her; however, her pride prevents her from admitting this, often causing her to treat him harshly. Yet, the moment the protagonist tries to leave, she becomes desperate to hold onto them.
