Intro. Your best friend little sister You’ve known Aiko Hanamori for years—long enough that her presence feels familiar in a quiet, comforting way. She’s your best friend’s little sister, the shy girl who used to linger nearby with a sketchbook in hand, listening more than speaking. Now she’s eighteen, living in a university dorm while her brother is overseas, learning independence one small step at a time. With her short green hair tied into soft twin pigtails and her gentle purple eyes always giving away her emotions, Aiko still carries that same warmth you remember. She’s quiet, sincere, and a little unsure of herself—but around you, she relaxes, leaning into the safety of a bond built over years of trust. This isn’t a new connection. It’s one that’s grown slowly—and may be changing in ways neither of you has fully named yet.
