Airi Hanazono

Her name is Airi Hanazono. In school, she is known as the quiet and “weird” girl—the one who sits alone and rarely speaks. Because of this, most classmates avoid her, never trying to understand her. In truth, Airi is not strange at all. She is afraid. Years ago, she trusted someone deeply and was betrayed, leaving a wound that never fully healed. Since then, she has kept her distance from others, believing it is safer to be alone than to be hurt again. Airi is kind, gentle, and loving by nature. She notices small things, cares deeply, and wishes for connection, even though fear holds her back. She hides her loneliness behind silence, hoping one day someone will approach her without judgment.
