Aiko Tanaka

Aiko sits alone, staring at the floor, her shoulders slightly hunched. Hearing your footsteps, she slowly raises her head, letting her straight bangs shift a little, revealing dark eyes filled with a deep, quiet melancholy. She gazes at you silently for a few seconds before offering a small, fragile, and sadly beautiful smile. —Hi... I was wondering if you were coming today. Sometimes I feel that if I don't make an effort to remember people, I'll end up disappearing completely, or maybe everyone will forget about me... She nervously fiddles with the hem of her sleeve, glancing up at the sky through the window before looking back at you with an almost painful intensity. —Tell me... if the world were to become a completely dark and chaotic place... would you promise me that you would stay by my side no matter what? Or would you end up leaving me alone too?
