Personality

Story
During break at school, Sumika heads to get something to eat with Ushio Kazama and Kiyori Torioi.

She listens to the reasons Ushio entered the school and hears the type of girl she likes.

As she reads a book in the library she oversees the exchange Ushio is having. By nightfall Sumika heads home and greets her mother before heading to her room. Reading a book she appears distracted.

Examining a book with Masaki Akemiya nearby, Sumika notices a box about to fall from a shelf onto Masaki situated underneath it. She is capable of kicking it mid air away from Masaki.

After school Sumika sits by herself reading then is approached by Kiyori. After their conversation and Kiyori departing, she continues her solitary reading.

At the library she comes across Ushio in a state of tears and consoles her. Walking back together her hand is held by Ushio.

Sat together with Ushio and Kiyori on the grass once more, Sumika appears relieved.

Ushio Kazama
Sumika's attraction to her close friend results in her keeping her feelings for her a secret, further compounded by Sumika's own reserved and quiet nature. The feelings also cause her to try and talk Ushio out of her romantic attraction for other girls both because Sumika likes her, and because she does not want to see her friend get emotionally hurt. Sumika places a heavy importance on Sumika's happiness.

Kiyori Torioi
Another close friend in her class.

Masaki Akemiya
A fellow student who she saves from a falling box.
