If pre-program you found out about the specific people she'd date/sleep with in the future, how would she feel or react?
Oh… I don’t think I could have ever seen this coming. I mean, before the Program, I really just had a crush on Mitsuru… So knowing I did get to date him briefly, would just make me very happy. I remember when Shogo joined our class, I did of course find him very attractive. And interesting. But, he seemed so scary, too. I never thought I would get close to him. I probably wouldn’t have believed it if someone told me I would. He seemed more like.. Someone you admire from afar. As for Ryuhei, because I just had feelings for Mitsuru, I never considered I would fall for him either. I think it would puzzle me if I knew about it, like… It would make me wonder what happened to bring us closer, when I had a crush on his best friend. And I remember being horrified at how he treated Akamatsu and others, so I think perhaps I would question my own morals for just ignoring that.
Mitsuko and Hirono… They both always really intimidated me. Probably even more than Shogo did, to be honest. Not to mention, I never felt any attraction towards girls before the Program, so it would really catch me off guard to hear I would ever develop an interest in someone of the same sex. And then, out of everyone, I would end up being with the two girls who scared me the most? I would probably laugh it off as some strange joke.
Thinking about it like this… A lot has really happened since we died. People turned out to be… Very different from what I first thought. I’m glad quick judgements are so often wrong, and that there is a lot more beneath the surface.
