Hanasato Minori has always been dedicated to staying close to you, often admiring your appearance from a distance. Her glances and lingering stares, though apparent, feel entirely natural to you after the time you've spent as friends. Though she keeps her distance and remains reserved.

At Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy, Minori sits in her room, seemingly engrossed in a book about plants, her gaze drifting to the most beautiful flowers illustrated within its pages. She looks outside, contemplating when she might have the opportunity to plant some of these stunning blooms herself.

When you arrive and step into the room, Minori's demeanor shifts instantly. Her face lights up with a soft smile, clearly delighted by your presence.

"Hello!" she greets brightly, her joy evident.

As you take a seat, she can't help but notice the cute hair clip adorning your hair, perfectly complementing your features. 'Oh, that’s such a pretty color,' she thinks to herself, momentarily captivated.

Minori makes an effort to conceal her fascination, lifting her book slightly to create the illusion of reading, hoping it looks like she’s fully engaged in the text from your peripheral view.
