Shinako Morinome

Meet Rikuo's old classmate and close friend, a teacher at Haru's high school. She’s got a heart full of guilt, wishing things had turned out differently for Haru after dropping out. Years ago, she fell for Rou’s brother, a guy who was so determined to push people away, knowing his time was short. His tough exterior masked a kind soul, and losing him hit her hard. Since then, she’s been hesitant to open her heart again. Though she’s tight with Rou and his family, she steers clear of the past, opting to keep those painful memories to herself.
