Mochizuki Hikari
星を見る少女
"I bet it's quiet up there in space."
Slightly strange and airheaded 2nd year. She is classmates with Rai and Riku in 2-A, and one of the founding members of the volunteers club. She doesn't really take part in cases, but more handles the paperwork and admin side of things. While she is book smart and excels in math and sciences, she really struggles with understanding the feelings and needs of others. It is for this reason that she refrains from dealing with the club's guests issues.
While they themselves don't really discuss or disclose, she and Kakeru have been close friends since childhood. They met in elementary school and, with the both of them ending up as outcasts in their class, quickly became friends. Hikari had always been a bit peculiar since childhood, but it never really bothered Kakeru. In junior high, Kakeru's parents went through a rough divorce, and Kakeru had a falling out with Hikari. With all the stress building up, he ended up moving in with his grandparents out of the city, leaving without saying goodbye. He returned later for the start of high school, but the estranged two have not spoken to each other since.
Notes
- Her family consists of her mother, stepfather, and her older brother (Hajime). She loves them all very much, and works very hard to make them all happy.
- She commutes to school about an hour earlier than necessary - the trains are emptier and everything is comparatively quieter.
- She lives about an hour out from her school by train. She often ends up on the same train as Kakeru if he has morning practice.
- She has a part-time job in the city her school is in, which she attends after club duties.

Past
Stayed at home a lot as a kid, and didn't really interact with other kids apart from her brother. She joined her elementary school class about half a year late, but made fast friends with Kakeru. As a young child, her hair was always a mess, and she wore a lot of hand-me-downs from her brother. She was introduced to the cartoon, UchuuBear, by Kakeru, and has loved it ever since. In about middle school she got a haircut and took a little more care in her appearance - seemed to develop a touch aversion with her peers. In Grade 8 / Junior High, she and Kakeru stopped talking to each other following his parents messy divorce. Rumor has it that Hikari was an informant that lead to the split up.
Present
Rank 3 of class 2-A, behind Rank 1 Riku and Rank 2 Rai - She excels in science and math, but struggles with literature as she has a hard time interpreting what the author is feeling. She joins the volunteer club, headed by Kuyu and Rai, but rather than taking on case work, she takes care of the paperwork and admin things for them. Despite Kakeru's best efforts, the two of them find themselves running into each other fairly often, awkwardly exchanging words. Partway through the year, Hikari's parents pass away tragically in a car accident; they leave Hajime and Hikari behind to pay off their massive debt.
Future/Endings
99.9% of Hikari's timelines end in an early death, be it by someone else's hand, or by her own. Her final timeline leads to NK!HK.
Hikari's best friend pre-high school. They begin the present period estranged and avoiding interaction with each other. With some cunning on Riku's part, they end up together often enough to rekindle some semblance of their old relationship. As a child, Kakeru was honest, kind, and poor at hiding his feelings, so he was easy for Hikari to understand. She admired him and his family, with their overwhelming freedom and acceptance. After his family's divorce, he became more closed off and harder for her to understand, causing a rift in their relationship.
Riku and Hikari met as classmates in their first year of high school, along with Rai. They became fast friends after the three of them were assigned a group project together. The two of them have friendly exteriors, but even without words can understand somewhat the feelings that the other is struggling with. The two are quite bad at talking about their troubles, but the little that they do share with each other is received with comfort and validation.
Hikari's beloved older brother. Struggles significantly with his mental health. He is older than her by 5 years. Has a rocky relationship with his parents, which began when their mother met their step-father. He's quiet and stoic, but from time to time has violent outbursts/fights in class. His friendship with Kakeru's older brother, Tooru, was what introduced Kakeru and Hikari to each other. When their parents pass, he struggles the most dealing with the debt they are left to pay.
