## Relationships

### Teammates

**Misora Amachi** - Misora and Kiriha get along the most naturally among all of the Alchemical cures. Both of them share an interest in fashion and athletic activities, and have a predisposition towards social situations. Despite being the same age, Misora very quickly comes to see Kiriha as an older-brother-like figure, often looking to him for advice. Misora also admires his good looks and poised disposition, and begins to doubt her own qualities as a leader because of how much better Kiriha carries himself as Cure Rainy. Kiriha is initially less gung-ho about his friendship with Misora thanks to her overwhelming energy, but after getting to know her and spending some quiet moments with her, he begins to enjoy her presence. Misora is one of the first to see Kiriha truly drop his guard, and the two eventually become very emotionally open with each other.

**Shiho Harashiki** - Shiho and Kiriha are friendly towards each other for the most part, but they tend to frustrate each other thanks to their personality defects. Shiho detests Kiriha's complacency in the way people treat him, and finds his constant kindness disingenuous to the point of being annoying and coming off as self-serving. That being said, however, Shiho does encourage him to be more honest instead of holding this against him. She also appreciates Kiriha's more relaxed personality, especially with someone like Misora around. Particularly in the early days of their meeting, Kiriha notes that Shiho gets extremely defensive quickly, and becomes frequently exhausted by how much she complains. He comes to understand why she is like this, though, and truly believes in her desire to change as a person.

**Seiya Himura** - Kiriha and Seiya are locked in a conflict for most of the story. Kiriha is unable to comprehend why Seiya is so aggressive to others and content with being alone, despite trying his best to be empathetic. Whereas he might be able to shrug off negative comments from most other people, Kiriha internalizes everything that Seiya says about him to his face, eventually resulting in him having somewhat of an emotional episode. On the other hand, Seiya doesn't want Kiriha to pry into his emotions like he seems so inclined to do, so he doubles down on his belligerence. A lot of his comments towards Kiriha are downright mean spirited, and he seems to go out of his way to make them. Seiya does end up feeling extremely guilty when Kiriha does break down because of him, and although delaying his apology until the confrontation with Yoshie, resolves to be much kinder.
