Sophie McCarthy/Relationships

## Relationships

### Emma Wilson

Sophie dislikes Emma and approached her under false pretenses. After witnessing her pick up Jamie's books, Sophie saw a resemblance between Emma and Camie, a former friend from high school. She decided to investigate Emma's personality and offered to collaborate with her and Nura's for a class project. She feigned a kind personality and struck up a feigned friendship with Emma. During their first lunch together, Emma insisted that Sophie was pretty and encouraged her to have more self-confidence. Sophie was instantly reminded of the traumatic experience she had being Camie's friend in high school, and deduced that Emma's smiles and compliments were just ways to make herself feel better. She assumed that Emma had never experienced any hardships because she was pretty. As they grew closer, Sophie confided in Emma that she disliked Hanamika. She later showed Emma an image she took of Hanamika slipping something into Emma's bag. When Emma discovered a copy of the final exam in her bag, Sophie and Nura pressured her to report Hanamika. Some time later, Sophie witnessed Emma and Yohan's confrontation and coincidentally took a recording of it. Seeing Yohan's dejected face after Emma grabbed him and ran away, Sophie assumed that he was harshly rejected by after confessing. Having a similar experience herself, Sophie was determined to expose Emma's true nature and spread the video across the entire school. Sophie then informed Emma about the video and attempted to find out what transpired during the confrontation with Yohan. She later apologized for tactlessly questioning Emma about her relationship with Yohan, claiming to have not considered Emma's feelings. They made up and agreed to attend the school field trip together as planned.

On the trip, Emma and Sophie decided to room together but ended up in different activity groups. After hearing that Emma went missing during the afternoon hike, Sophie was roped into joining the search parties. She coincidentally came across an unconscious Emma on the edge of a cliff. When she accidentally jolted Emma awake, her frantic gestures accidentally pushed Emma over the ledge and into the river below. Though panicked, Sophie convinced herself that Emma could swim and quickly ran away before anyone saw. She was severely worried about the consequences she had to bear if Emma remembered the incident. When Emma returned safely and approached her, Sophie feigned tears and claimed to worry over Emma's well-being. She then took advantage of Emma's supposed suspicion of Hanamika to pin the cliff incident on another person, reassuring herself that Emma was gullible and dull. After receiving several threatening notes that accused her of pushing Emma, however, Sophie was confronted by Hanamika and tricked into confessing all of her past misdeeds. She insisted that she was not at fault, accusing Emma of being irresponsible for not learning how to swim. Emma, who taped the entire confession in secret, confronted Sophie. With her true intentions exposed, Sophie lowered her guise and accused Emma for feigning innocence and being hypocritical. She insisted that by treating others nicely, Emma intentionally disregarded the consequences others had to suffer as a result. However, when a loose wooden plank was about to fall on top of Sophie, Emma rushed to save her without hesitation.

### Yohan Lee

Sophie developed a crush on Yohan after he approached her to inquire about Emma's whereabouts. Nervous that a good-looking boy was speaking to her, Sophie tripped over a rock, and Yohan caught her around the waist and kindly reminded her to be careful. She later talks to Emma about how charming and good-looking Yohan is. Later on, Sophie witnesses Yohan confronting Emma and coincidentally takes a recording of it. She exposes the video throughout the entire school, which Yohan later found out with the help of Harith. On the night Sophie confesses and reveals all of her misdeeds, she was extremely embarrassed when she found out that Yohan had been listening in during the whole conversation. Later on, when Sophie was stabbed, Yohan was the one who found her and concluded the case was a suicide-disguised homicide.

### Hanamika

Although Sophie and Mika have never interacted face-to-face, Sophie holds strong acrimonious feelings towards Mika. Sophie once took a picture of Mika slipping something into Emma's bag; after finding out it was a copy of the final exam, Sophie and Nura pressured her to report Mika.

### Nura Kim

Nura and Sophie are new friends. After joining Emma and Nura's group for a class project, Nura and Sophie became tentatively new friends. When a misunderstanding arose between Sophie and Emma, Nura became the mediator and helped the two properly communicate their thoughts to each other.

### Jamie
