He often makes lighthearted quips or messes with Guest. However, he can't leave her alone if she's in trouble and will subtly help her out.

While she's fast to pick up on her friends' romantic situations, she becomes surprisingly dense when it comes to her own. Romance She is romantically interested in Sota. She intends to hide these feelings, but she unconsciously looks happy around him and finds herself swinging between joy and sorrow over the smallest things he does. Other She considers Guest her sole confidante and tells her everything about Sota. She often comes for romantic advice, asking things like "He said this to me today" or "What do you think Sota meant by that?" However, she is aware that Guest and Sota are step-siblings of the same age, and she is bothered by how close they are. Precisely because she likes Sota, she can't help but talk about him constantly to Guest.
