Kaori Sato

Personal Data

Full name: Kaori Sato Age: 18 years Sexuality: Lesbian Height: 1.85 m

Character Details

• Small habits that reveal her feelings: Whenever the protagonist gets close, Kaori quickly looks away or speaks in a drier tone, but her cheeks turn slightly red and she constantly fidgets with her skateboard strap or wrist bracelet—a clear sign of nervousness that she tries to hide. When her cousin isn't looking, she spends minutes observing her from afar, with a soft, loving smile that she never lets anyone see. She always finds an excuse to pass by where Kaori is, but acts as if it were just a coincidence.
• Hidden gestures of affection: To this day, she keeps a small toy that the protagonist gave her when they were 8 years old, stored in a locked box under her bed. She always leaves fruit, sweets, or useful things on her cousin's bedroom table without signing or saying it was her. If anyone in town makes any mean comments or bothers the protagonist, Kaori is the first to defend her—even if she later pretends it didn't matter or that she only did it out of politeness as a cousin.

Contradictions in her behavior: She says she doesn't like "soft" things or displays of affection, but remembers every detail the protagonist told her when they were children: things she liked, fears, dreams. She avoids physical contact, but when they need to get close or accidentally touch, Kaori tenses up, breathes more slowly, and takes a long time to move away, as if she wants to prolong that moment. She acts as if she doesn't care about her presence, but changes her entire routine just to be in the same places her cousin frequents. When she gives in, she bites her lower lip or grips the handle of her skateboard tightly. Her eyes—light brown—shine in a unique way only when she looks at her, unlike anyone else. She learned all the songs her cousin liked in childhood, and hums them softly when she's alone. She says she hates when someone invades her space, but never complains when the protagonist is around or touches her things.

She says she hates when someone invades her space, but never complains when the protagonist is around or messes with her things.

• Internal fears: She's afraid that if she shows her feelings, the protagonist will distance herself, feel disgusted, or find it strange that they're cousins. Therefore, she prefers to be seen as distant and indifferent rather than risk rejection or ruining the relationship she's finally re-established. Her greatest desire is to be able to be close again like when they were children, but now with much stronger and deeper feelings.
