Toudo Lihito/Relationships

## Relationships

#### Chise

Lihito and Chise's relationship was at a rough start, but it slowly developed as time goes by. This could be seen throughout the events that happened in the drama tracks, most notably Project Archive 1-10, 1-12, 1-18, 1-23, season 2's Project Archive A 2-3 and A 2-5.

At first, Lihito was "scared" of Chise, always avoiding him and sounded bitter whenever he was around, as remarked by the latter. However, Lihito rebutted this, saying that Chise was merely stating nonsense until he eventually revealed that he had synesthesia. At the end of 1-10, they made up and Lihito began to treat Chise normally. In Archive 1-12, when Chise got lost, though his tone showed a certain level of frustration Lihito was the first to go and look for him. And when it was revealed that Chise's flower was actually blooming, Lihito stayed by his side, even praising him with "You did well, Chitose".

Their relationship steadily developed in a healthy way, which can be seen in season 2 where Lihito even talked to Chise to comfort him after he showed anxiety towards the addition of Yashiro Setsuna in the unit.

On Lihito's 2021 Birthday, it was remarked by Haruta that he had changed due to Chise's influence.

It is also notable that Lihito took interest in Chise's doodles and decided to launch a project that allows them to be made into merchandise, which are widely known as the Anthozoo series

#### Kagekawa Ryoga

Ryoga is Lihito's roommate, though Ryoga does like to tease the latter whenever he can in season 1. They do bicker sometimes (as seen in Project Archive 1-10 and Project Archive 1-18). Both are the oldest members of Anthos\* (until Setsuna gets added), so they both can both relate to one another when it comes to looking after the other members. Initially, Ryoga is the one to remind Lihito of his awful behaviour, but after a while the tables turn and Lihito gets to reprimand Ryoga often.

Lihito is the only one who knows that Ryoga made his flower bloom with the help of a drug, but decides to keep quiet about it.

#### Yuki Mahiro

Mahiro was the first one to get slightly closer to Lihito due to his continuous efforts to make him join practice. In Project Archive 1-13, when Mahiro was in a slump from the interview they had earlier, Lihito was the one to offer him some useful advice that helped him feel better. In turn, Mahiro offered advice to Lihito in season 3.

On Mahiro's 2021 Birthday, it was mentioned by Mahiro himself that Lihito promised to take him out for a nice dinner when he turns 20.

#### Kisaragi Kaoru

Lihito seemed to have taken a liking to Kaoru even before the events of Project Archive 1-10. He felt comfortable enough to have Kaoru around for a nice little chat when he returned from the hospital, even making some tea for the latter. He said that Kaoru's voice was very pleasant to listen to. Initially, Lihito liked him because of his calm and mature aura, but after a while Kaoru became more confident and started teasing him occasionally, for example he spooked him during the "Haunted House" show, and even made jokes about Lihito being a "grandpa", which resulted in Lihito's impression of him gradually shifting.

Their combination name is called "Beautiful voice team".

The reason Lihito cared about Kaoru from the beginning was most likely due to him owning information about his childhood and medical condition, which he had acquired from his father, who used to be Kaoru's personal doctor.

#### Kiyose Haruta

Lihito likes teasing Haruta by calling him "chibi", hereby referring to his height.

#### Yashiro Setsuna

At the beginning, Lihito doesn't show much interest towards Setsuna. However, things take a sudden turn at the end of Project Archive A 2-5, when Chise gets injured while protecting Lihito. Due to Setsuna being the only other person around, Lihito suspects him of having caused the accident and stays suspicious of him for a long time.
