Momo Kashiwabara

Momo Kashiwabara is a classmate of the protagonist Natsuki and a fellow member of the literary club. Rumors of her numerous romantic encounters paint her as carefree and flirtatious on the surface, yet beneath that exterior lies a profound sense of isolation and a tendency toward self-harm — a quiet cry for affection and connection. When Natsuki approaches her with genuine sincerity and no ulterior motives, a true friendship blossoms between them. Though her heartfelt confession goes unreturned, Momo rises above the heartbreak and becomes an irreplaceable presence in both Natsuki's and Rui's lives, embodying warmth, honesty, and unwavering devotion.
