Aiko Asamaru's Links
[???] " .... " | If you were to ask her, Aiko would claim she's heard of them but never met them. Yet, the way she acts implies some kind of deeper connection.
[Neutral]
Ah...that would be the idol one, hm? Oh, yes, we knew each other once. Time continues, dear, and acquaintances fall by the wayside.
[Conflicted/Guilt] " I.. hm. Ask me about someone else, please. " | Aiko loves Kasumi dearly. The woman who took her in when she was cold and alone, cared for her when nobody else would and taught her she could be herself. Is she really deserving of her mother's love after what she's done? After she ran away like a coward, fell back into all of her old ways? She isn't sure.
[Familial Love/Conflicted] " I don't know why you suddenly up and left.. I hope I didn't cause you pain, little one. " | Kasumi is not sure what caused her daughter to move out so abruptly. One of her biggest regrets, really, was not being able to help her with the troubles she kept deep down.
[Platonic Love/Guilt] " ... " | The first person who ever approached her at school. The first she could call her friend. Truly, the closest companion she's ever had. And yet, she ran. Left without a word to them, too afraid to return after what she had done. Sometimes she wonders if they still think of her. Something deeper down in her wonders if their life is much better without her in it. The guilt remains there in the back of her mind.
[Platonic Love] "MARU-CHAN~!!! I love you so much!! You're such a dear friend to me!! Gaga-kun loves you too!!!"
[Annoyed] " Ah.. that boy from my class back during school. What about him? " | It's been a long time, so her annoyance towards him isn't that prominent now. Still, she remembers hating his guts when she was younger. Perhaps it was a kind of rivalry.
[???] " ... I have nothing to say to you. " | Conflict, confusion, guilt, fear, lingering love. Some of the emotions that come to mind when she thinks of them. Past memories still claw away at her, and sometimes she wonders what life would be like if the two had never split. When you lose your twin sibling, it's like a half of you has been lost forever- but they're still alive. They're still haunting her. What is she meant to do about that?
[Friend/Guilt] " ... " | One of her friends she met due to Michiru. She wonders if she's worthy of calling Evelynn her friend after everything. She still feels guilty for leaving.
[Strangers] " Who? Ah.. I'm afraid I don't quite know who you're referring to. " | While they were classmates, Aiko doesn't remember much from those years and never interacted with Marinette much.
[Mostly Strangers] " The quiet girl in my class? I didn't talk to her. She seemed to prefer the silence. " | Nettie and her were classmates in highschool, but that's about it.
