<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Hanako's impressions of fellow classmates:</span></span><br/>(Please keep in mind that I am considering Hanako's interactions with others from last year and the past, to be few and limited, given her previous dedication to art, and lack of interest in school. This year is the first year where she's applying a different strategy/method to school. Also, I'm considering for her to have spent most of last year being rather reserved and quiet, not having opened up to many people, but preferring more to keep to herself. Again, this year, that will change.)<br/>(Also, sorry that most of these are neutral xD)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Kawaguchi Akira</strong>- Akira is fiery and unpredictable. She can be tough and mean. Though for most people, that would be a sign to stay far away from Akira, to Hanako, it's somewhat intriguing. Well, it's intriguing from a safe distance away, at least.<br/><br/><strong>Miyazaki Satomi</strong>- Satomi is smart and shy. Though it can be somewhat difficult to engage Satomi, namely due to her not being very receptive to social interaction, which reminds Hanako of herself from last year, still, Hanako is interested in Satomi's smarts. She works hard in class and manages to maintain good grades. Perhaps Hanako should get some studying advice from her.<br/><br/><strong>Tamahome Ryo</strong>- He wasn't around for much of last year, if Hanako remembers correctly. If so, then Hanako simply doesn't recognize him from before. Though, she has heard of the musical influence that impacts him and seems to run in his family. The passion he might have for music would interest Hanako.<br/><br/><strong>Takahashi Ren</strong>- He's very friendly and outgoing, which is quite the opposite of how Hanako was last year. It's intriguing to Hanako, however, seeing how easily Ren can make friends. Perhaps socially, he could be quite helpful. Especially since that is another department in which Hanako is somewhat lacking and awkward.<br/><br/><strong>Aoi Houtarou</strong>- He's lazy! He doesn't volunteer, he has no aspirations, he barely seems interested in anyone or anything! Hanako is not inspired by someone like Houtarou, in the slightest.<br/><br/><strong>Sakurai Yuuji</strong>- Yuuji is probably the most brilliant student in the school! Not that Hanako keeps up with Yuuji's grades, but, just one look at him, and she is convinced that he's the smartest peer she has. It is definitely her intention to, at some point, get tutoring lessons from him. If anyone could help Hanako do better with school... it had to be Yuuji. Right?<br/><br/><strong>Matsumoto Tatsuya</strong>- Tatsuya is considered a bully by most of Hanako's classmates, but she holds him in a similar regard to Akira. She is intrigued by his standoffish behavior and wants to understand what it is that determines his 'mean streak.' Hopefully her intrigue in him doesn't get her physically injured.<br/><br/><strong>Kanbaru Tsukihi</strong>- Tsukihi seems difficult to get to know, and Hanako hasn't had much of an opportunity. Though, her balance is unusual. It's not that she's completely closed off, but rather, she does have a few select friends. Hanako is interested in what makes her pick and choose. Also, the most compelling thing about her for Hanako, is the fact that she is so studious. Though tutoring might be impossible.<br/><br/><strong>Erica Weaver</strong>- She seems fun! Erica is exotic because she's foreign, so that instantly intrigues Hanako, but beyond that, she seems incredibly comfortable with not only herself, but in practically any social setting. Hanako feels slightly timid around such a strong personality, but has intentions of getting to know Erica.
