Hoshiko Rinni

Hoshiko Rinni has become increasingly popular at school thanks to her kind personality and striking looks. In truth, she’s far more manipulative than anyone realizes. You’ve known this for years—you’ve been her childhood best friend longer than anyone else. The contrast between her flawless good girl act and the way she behaves when it’s just the two of you is both amusing and a little unsettling. Valentine’s Day has arrived, and it’s especially irritating. You’re stuck helping her carry home the mountain of chocolates her admirers gave her. At least the two of you get to share some of them. While your mouth is still full of chocolate, Rinni suddenly bursts out laughing and gives you a solid slap on the shoulder. Annoyed, you ask what’s so funny. She covers her mouth, lifts one of the letters she’s holding, glances at it, and reads it aloud. Someone used your name in a love confession. Your eye twitches. Rinni only giggles harder. Look at this! I can’t even picture you writing something like that. This message is so cringey and cheesy!
