In order of first appearance!
- Maki Sonomura: It's weir-- Friendship will do. An artist from St. Hermellin High, one of the very first people Shiki met after his manga debuted. This chance encounter could have been forgotten in the passing months, but wound up the catalyst for a series of very strange events during the Mikage-cho incident. The exact specifics will not be retold here, but Shiki now wants to be her friend, despite (or because of?) the fact that she might just hold the key to unmaking all existence.
- Minato Arisato: Healthy respect. Gekkoukan High's inexplicably charming quiet boy and SEES field leader. Shiki met him through shenanigans involving 4koma he drew, but now he feels a little bad about that. Officially recruited him into SEES, and led teams including Shiki out of trouble more than once. AKA Baseball Ranger Blue.
- Thora Kobayashi: Admiration. A very scary girl from Inaba, apparentice at Daidara Metalworks and ally to both SEES and the KDA. Their relationship got off to a rocky start, but all was forgiven when it was revealed Thora reads the manga Shiki draws. She's since saved his life on his first foray into the Dark Hour, and supported him in many ways big and small. Calls her "Thora-senpai" despite knowing she's a fellow first-year. Shiki recently learned a dark secret regarding her, but chooses to keep on trusting her, as strange as even he admits that might be.
- Aigis: Trust. A strange girl from Gekkoukan, secretly SEES' secret anti-Shadow weapon. Shiki bumped into her and fought alongside the droid both on the battle and baseball fields many times now. Greatly trusts her as a teammate and is very grateful for the role she played in rescuing him in Mikage-cho, but has had few opportunities to get close to her beyond this. AKA Baseball Ranger Yellow.
- Fumiya Watanabe: Casual friendship. An exuberant boy who originates from Port Island but is currently staying over with his grandparents in Inaba. Known for his unusual neon clothing, strange fixation on the eighties and tendency to attract trouble. Was recently trapped in the TV, but rescued by a team that included Shiki, who realized the two had far more in common than he originally thought. Shiki is very grateful for the role the cool boy played saving him in Mikage-cho, but hasn't had the chance to catch up since.
- Shirou Sekigawa: Casual friendship. A sickly-looking boy from Inaba, affiliated to the KDA. Shiki once challenged him to an epic shooting arcade game duel. Shiki technically won, but declared that this would be the start of a friendly rivalry. Exactly how or why, no one is quite sure. Seems rather close to Thora, though Shiki doesn't know exactly how much yet.
- Shinjiro Aragaki: ( ' < quack. SEES' resident atoning loner badass. Was there to witness Shiki first summoning his Persona, and since helps train the boy. Now has become a sort of mentor (and maybe even parental) figure to Shiki, who in turn has taken it upon himself to help solve the many problems troubling his senpai. Shiki learned much about his senpai's darker side after a horrifying Midnight Channel dive, but chose to keep regarding him as a hero. The two have recently shared a few secrets, making Shiki happy he was trusted with them.
- Hideo Aratami: ?!?!? Would-be heroic knight from Kasugayama High. Originally got along well with Shiki due to similar idealism. Since then, a dramatic series of events involving Shiki and Itsuka led to the boy being trapped inside the Midnight Channel and subsequently becoming Shadow-possessed. Shiki dueled him, lost, and was brought back home safely by Hideo himself and another nice boy. Was assured that the knight was perfectly fine despite his condition, but even Shiki has trouble believing this, even though Hideo was one of the people present to rescue him from Mikage-cho.
- Akatsuki Enda: Admiration. A Gekkoukan High graduate and SEES member, who excels in basically everything. Has helped Shiki salvage his school grades many times, proven himself to be quite the badass in combat, and given Shiki a valuable dating tip or two.
- Itsuka Mizuhara: ~Teenage love.~ A fellow second-year from Gekkoukan High and SEES member. Met Shiki while studying with Akatsuki, later became friends after the boy stealthily tried to draw her. Have gone on too many adventures together to count now, founded SEES' official unofficial "Eclipse Squad", and are now officially dating. AKA "Tsuka". The two have shared many secrets since, and Shiki has gained new insight into the girl's more troubling sides. However, her apparently genuine desire to become a better person as well as her perseverance in rescuing him from Mikage-cho have prevented the boy from even considering turning her back on her.
- Hinata Itoh: Friendship. Fellow second-year and SEES member. The youngest of the Itoh sisters, who is part of the baseball and manga clubs along with him. One of the few people who can match his levels of enthusiasm. She has proven herself many times in trying to save him from Mikage-cho, and was part of the team that wound up freeing him. Shiki considers her a more valuable friend than ever. AKA Baseball Ranger Pink.
- Yoshiro Yoshino: Friendship. Another fellow second-year and SEES member, reckless courier. First summoned his Persona using Shiki's Evoker, more or less saving the day, more or less as intended. Was invited to be part of Shiki and Itsuka's so-called Eclipse Squad, and is now officially a member even though he might not take it as seriously as the other two. Shiki used to have a hilariously clueless disregard for Yoshiro's well-being, but some planetary alignment may have caused this trend to reverse.
- Ran Itoh: Friendship. Gekkoukan High graduate, SEES member and employee of the Lucky 7 convenience store. Seems to enjoy an unusually close relationship to Shinjiro, which Shiki is all too pleased to encourage. Her friendly and cheerful demeanor make her easy for the boy to get along with. Was both rescuee and rescuer in the same Midnight Channel dive, displaying tenacity that won the boy's admiration.
- Miwa Saitou: Casual friendship. Seven Sisters High graduate. Has been run into a few times under varying circumstances. Dates Akatsuki's nice twin brother, has an affinity for the occult, and can most probably be considered trustworthy.
- Himeru Namikawa: Friendship. A fellow second-year at Gekkoukan High. A very peculiar girl whose behavior seems to hover between two extremes, both of which initially puzzled Shiki more than anything else. Her involvement in rescuing Shinjiro and later Shiki himself have caused Shiki to completely rethink his view of her and gladly accept her as a friend despite her unsettling quirks.
- Shinsuke Kusagawa: Friendship. New pal and Itsuka's nice long-lost twin brother. More info forthcoming in actual social links update!
