Hanamika/Relationships

## Relationships

### Yohan Lee

Hanamika and Yohan are best friends and share a unique relationship. They have been well-acquainted since freshman year of university, along with Harith. They have starkly contrasting personalities, as Hanamika prefers to keep herself while Yohan desires social interaction. Most of their interactions consist of Yohan constantly talking and Hanamika responding in her typical curt manner. Though she claims that spending too much time with Yohan drains her energy, Hanamika tolerates his presence and cares for his wellbeing. Yohan sees beyond her cold indifference and does not allow her blunt manner of speaking to affect his perception of her kindness. They share moments of friendly banter, often with Yohan teasing Hanamika for attention. Hanamika keeps an eye out for Yohan's lazy tendencies, ascertaining that he does not neglect his health. Despite their differences, Hanamika and Yohan hold each other to high esteem, placing trust in each other's loyalty and abilities. Though Yohan freely shares his worries with her, Hanamika tends to refrain from confiding with him unless the situation calls for it.

While procrastinating during his studies, Yohan came across a photo of himself and Harith that Hanamika took during their freshman year of university. Later that day, Hana offered to accompany him while he chaperoned Yona during a shopping outing. During the search for Emma on the school field trip, Hanamika discovered her with Yohan in the middle of the forest. Delighted that they were saved from seclusion, Yohan then confided with Emma that he and Hanamika were best friends. At the inn lounge, Hanamika made sure Yohan properly took his medicine, despite his protests.  He became extremely offended when he discovered that Hanamika failed to confide with him that she was harassed for an entire semester. He later found offense when she revealed that his extroverted presence drained her energy. Despite this, they continue to maintain a healthy, close friendship, as he understood that she did not harbor any antagonistic feelings in her comments.

### Emma Wilson

Emma and Hanamika are acquaintances who previously shared a class together at H. University. Though a series of misunderstandings led to a rather rocky relationship between the two, they have since reconciled their differences and cleared the air. Emma initially found Hanamika intimidating and unfriendly, committing the common mistake of interpreting Hanamika's curt words as hostile. Unaware that Emma perceived her in this manner, Hanamika felt indifferent towards her. Because she witnessed Sophie glaring at Emma in the hallways, Hanamika was later surprised to hear that Emma considered Sophie a good friend.

Initially, when Emma and Nura politely invited Hanamika to join their group for a class project, Hanamika ignored both of them. She found Nura, whose outgoing behavior resembled that of Yohan's, draining and thus chose to avoid both girls. Later, Sophie managed to capture a photo of Hanamika hovering around Emma's schoolbag. After discovering a copy of the final exam in her bag, Emma was convinced by Nura and Sophie to report Hanamika to the professor. Hanamika was then called to the professor's office and suspended for allegedly distributing illicit copies of the final exam. At the school trip, Hanamika and Emma ended up in the same activity group. While hiking, Emma suggested to switch places so she could follow Hanamika instead. After agreeing, Hanamika was surprised to realize that Emma had disappeared behind her. She informed their group leader, who then organized several search parties to find Emma. Hanamika eventually found her with Yohan and led the two back to the inn. At the inn lounge, Hanamika explained how it was easy to misconstrue her blunt personality as hostile, reassuring Emma that she harbored no antagonistic feelings towards her. Emma realized through their conversations that Hanamika was unlikely the culprit behind the cliff incident, since Hanamika was unaware that she fell into the river. When Emma confessed to accusing Hanamika of stealing the final exam answer sheets, Hanamika held no grudge against her, deciding that Sophie was the main perpetrator behind the incident.

### Sophie McCarthy

Sophie and Hanamika are acquaintances who attend the same class at H. University. After receiving several threatening notes written on light-brown paper in her locker, Hanamika began to investigate those around her. During this time, she noticed several sheets of identical paper placed on a desk in her classroom. When she picked it up for closer examination, Sophie indiscreetly took a photo of Hanamika. Before Hanamika could confront Sophie about the photo, several students began flooding the classroom. Deciding it was not worthwhile to cause a scene, Hanamika then dismissed the incident. When Emma collided with Jamie in the hallways, Hanamika caught sight of Sophie glaring hostilely at Emma from behind. Due to this incident, Hanamika became genuinely surprised when Emma later claimed that she and Sophie were good friends. She found Sophie's contradicting words and behaviors suspicious, deciding that it is probable that Sophie was the culprit who pushed Emma off of the cliff.

### Nura Kim

Nura and Hanamika have never had an actual conversation. When Emma and Nura politely invited Hanamika to join their group for a class project, Hanamika coolly ignored them. Hanamika perceived Nura as having similar outgoing personalities as Yohan, whom she is well-acquainted with. Deciding that Nura would be a nuisance whose presence would drain her energy, Hanamika chose to avoid being grouped with her.

### Harith

Harith and Hanamika are friends. Hanamika took a photo of Harith and Yohan during freshman year of university and posted it on social media.
