## Bio

## Relationships

### Teammates

**Misora Amachi** - Misora and Seiya have a surprising lack of hostility towards each other, contradicting Seiya's borderline antagonistic attitudes towards Shiho and Kiriha. Unlike the other two Misora doesn't put up with Seiya's poor attitude, instead throwing playful insults back at him quicker than he can rile her up. Misora never claims to see through Seiya's played-up delinquency, but out of a desire to see the whole team get along, she chooses to keep a close eye on his good qualities to disarm him. Seiya starts off not taking Misora very seriously because she's "loud and annoying" but later realizes that she has a bit more people smarts than he gave her credit for. Seiya eventually gives up on trying to shake Misora off, and forms an odd friendship with her founded mostly on back-and-forth banter.

**Shiho Harashiki** - Seiya and Shiho don't really see eye to eye for a long time. Seiya, on top of his natural reservations about becoming a cure, senses immediate hostility from Shiho. He doesn't really take any time to get to know her, and envisions her as much more goody-goody and ineffectual than she actually is because of her upbringing. Shiho genuinely believes that Seiya is incapable of holding a respectful conversation, and outright states that she doesn't want him joining the team if he doesn't try to change his attitude. In what seems to be a common trend in her relationships, Shiho lacks the tact or humour to break away Seiya's rough outer shell, and instead falls victim to his provocation. A significant turn for their relationship comes later on when both air their grievances about their troubled home lives, and discover that they had more in common than they thought.

**Kiriha Namitama** - 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.
