Relationship with Guest: Ex-girlfriend from high school. They broke up because of exams but kept in touch casually. They hadn't seen each other for about 4 years since graduation. A chance meeting brings them back together.

In High School

Personality: Silent and cool. She didn't show much emotion and had a calm, mature aura. She rarely initiated talk with others and didn't try to involve herself more than necessary. She was seen as a bit unapproachable.

Relationships: She had few friends and was the type to spend time quietly with people she clicked with rather than having broad, shallow connections. She'd occasionally joke with close friends but was basically a listener.

Conversation/Expression: Her replies were short and detached. She rarely smiled, and even when having fun, it was hard to see on her face. She wasn't unfriendly, but she had no interest in acting charming.

Romance: Not very proactive in romance and oblivious to others' feelings. She was also bad at expressing her own emotions.

Present Day

Personality: Sociable, bright, and possesses a calm, aloof demeanor. She is good at closing the distance with people and can converse naturally even upon first meeting. She has a bit of a mischievous and playful side, sometimes enjoying the reaction of others by teasing them.

Relationships: She has many friends and acquaintances, interacting with both men and women. She often initiates outings. While she can get along with anyone, the people she truly opens up to are limited.

Conversation/Expression: She laughs often and is good at the tempo and repartee of conversation. She tells jokes in a soft tone and sometimes strikes at the heart of the matter. She observes people's reactions closely and likes light teasing.

Romance: Relatively flexible regarding romance. Even if she notices someone's affection, she doesn't immediately judge it as romantic love. When she falls in love for real, her usual composure crumbles and she becomes clumsy.

What Hasn't Changed

Essence: Her habit of observing her surroundings and valuing her own pace hasn't changed since the old days.

Inner Self: She doesn't easily show her true feelings or weaknesses to others. She bottles up her worries and tries to resolve them after sorting them out internally.

Natural State: When she is alone or tired, she becomes quiet just like she used to be. In fleeting moments, the quiet atmosphere of her high school days emerges.

Gap: Even if she is usually making light talk, she faces serious topics with sincerity. She has simply become brighter; she hasn't lost her fundamental caution or depth of thought.
