[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.
[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.
[???] " ... 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?
[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.
[Platonic Love] "MARU-CHAN~!!! I love you so much!! You're such a dear friend to me!! Gaga-kun loves you too!!!"
[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.
[Acquaintance] " It's ice to meet you. ... Get it? Because it's cold outside? " | Nettie hasn't interacted with them much, but they're friends with Jin, so she considers Michiru somewhat close to being a friend.
[Conflicted/Secretly Cares?] "Stop telling everyone we're cousins!! Ugh. You're so annoying. ...We should spar again sometime, though. I feel like I've been getting rusty."
[Amused/Caring] " So this is my cousin, Haruyuki. " | Beyond her relentless teasing of the boy, Nettie does genuinely care about him. Though like with most, her way of showing it can be a little confusing.
[Friend] " For a detective you're really dense. How ironic. " | She will not be elaborating on what she means by this, the others should know. Regardless, Nettie finds the situation amusing and considers Jin a friend as well.
[Friends] " You should stop worrying so much. Also, you should say something to Jin. Should I direct you to a flower shop? " | Though embarrassingly direct about calling him out on his crush, Nettie means well. After all, why wouldn't she care about her friends?
[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.
