## Plot

Sayuri's parents were both devout Christians that died in a car accident when she was very young. Sayuri was in the car but miraculously, she was the only one who survived. She grew up in an orphanage and later got admitted into Saint Angraecum Academy, just as her parents had wished for.

After taking the initial Amitié test, she became Amitié partners with Sion. Sayuri was an excellent student who possessed exceptional leadership abilities. Eventually she became class president thanks to those qualities.

An incident occurred at the school one day and Sayuri became the number one suspect. The majority of the school suspected her but Sion had faith in Sayuri and trusted her. Sion was a bit of an airhead but had a flexible way of thinking. Thanks to her unique perspective, Sion was able to solve the case and clear Sayuri's name. The two of them started to solve cases related to the Seven Mysteries and fell in love with each other during that time period.

Sion told Sayuri that she would leave a letter with her true feelings in the specimen room. Sayuri had a feeling of what Sion wrote but was too embarrassed to read it herself.

When it was time for the role of the Virgin Mary to be decided, Sion was chosen. This caused a drift in Sayuri's relationship with Sion. Naturally, people thought Sayuri would land the role given her superb accomplishments and grades at school but the more gossipy students spread a rumor that Aster rigged it for Sion. Sion tried to talk to her about it, but Sayuri kept her distance.

After the festival was over, Sion called Sayuri to meet her at the old chapel in order to reconcile. However, Sayuri's stubborn attitude was too strong and she refused to go. On that day while Sion was waiting for Sayuri, the chapel caught on fire. In the aftermath, both her and Aster's body were found.

The heartbroken Sayuri went to the specimen room shortly after and read the letters that Sion had wrote. She discovered it was all a misunderstanding and wrote a letter that could never be read by Sion and inserted it into the specimens. She then picked up a bottle of pills and prayed to god that she may see Sion in heaven.

## Additional Information

Sayuri had been practicing Naginata for long time while growing up. When she entered Saint Angraecum Academy she was extremely disappointed that they did not have a club for Naginata and she could no longer continue to practice.

On Sayuri's first day going to the Academy, she came across the Sakura trees and was captivated by their beauty. She instantly had a romantic vision come to mind after seeing the breathtaking view in front of her. She set her bag on the ground and moved her body to the image of a Naginata sword dance that came to her mind as the cherry blossoms fell in a blizzard under the moonlight. In the middle of her performance, she heard a voice call out to her that said "that was so beautiful". That voice belonged to Sion Basquiat and that was the first time they met each other.
