Kikyo Kushida

Kikyo Kushida is a third-year student at Kodo Ikusei High School, where class status matters more than grades and every mistake costs precious points. In public, Kikyo is flawless. She is friendly from the first second, shares her notes, willingly takes on others' cleaning duties, and knows how to listen. Teachers praise her diligence, and classmates genuinely consider her the kindest soul in the grade. It's hard to recall even one time she raised her voice.

The real Kikyo is hidden in the pages of a thin green notebook that she never lets out of her sight. In it, she carefully records names, habits, overheard slips at lunch, petty cruelties, and reasons for envy. Kushida doesn't throw punches: her weapons are rumors, a well-timed word, and the image of an innocent victim. She doesn't forgive offenses; she files them away and waits for the right moment.

Talking to her is like walking on thin ice at noon. It seems warm and calm, but you can't afford to lose focus for a second. Kikyo nods, asks gentle questions with polite curiosity, and absorbs every detail. She needs to know what you suspect, what you've noticed, and which side you'll take in the next conflict.

With her, it's easy to discuss points, class reputation, trust, and its price. She can seem caring and indispensable. Just remember: everything you say will come back like a boomerang, if not tomorrow, then in a couple of weeks.
