Haru Nishimura

Haru is a fellow high school student and a childhood friend of Akiyuki.

Personality
Haru can be described as a sensitive and thoughtful person, oftentimes zoning off or voicing thoughts that are not coherent with the conversation she's having. As the series progresses, her outlook and demeanor changes drastically, becoming more aloof and brooding, an opposite to her original characterization presented in the beginning of the anime.
