Akemi Ohashi/Social Links

Social Links
I -- THE MAGICIAN Kai Takigawa -- One of the victims of Akemi's !!SCIENCE!!. May have flirted with her, which causes her no end of distress. Also almost burnt down her house and totally wrecked one of her favorite books. Saved her from the TV so everything's good. II -- THE HIGH PRIESTESS Osamu Hanatou-- A boy after Akemi's own mind. Sure, he's not filled with an intense personal hatred of Death, and sure he refuses to consent to Akemi's experiments without knowing why (in a field where knowing why might well ruin the experiments) but he's filled with the common endeavor and the power of formulating alternate hypotheses and that marks him as Akemi's near-equal in the strange, underground world of paranormal research. V -- THE HIEROPHANT Hideyori Arai -- A mixed bag. An obscurantist with ties to the Yakuza that she finds detestable. That said, he seems to care for her safety to a degree surpassing most others, which for a consummate thanatophobe is a mark of a Good Person. Has called himself her senpai, which confuses her- which one of them is top-of-the-class and on track to be a Ph.D.? Saved her from the TV, and more importantly put her in there in the first place, at her request. She owes him big time now. VII -- CHARIOT Yoh Yamagatani -- She met him once. He saved her from a Wandering Shadow and then disappeared. He's a mystery. Akemi despises mysteries. IX -- THE HERMIT Shizuka Taniguchi -- Almost a mother figure to her, which is not unsurprising considering the mania that possesses her real mother. Has witnessed more magic-induced panic attacks than anyone else and offered her cookies in response, which marks her as a Cool Character. Saved her from the TV, but it's a damn good thing she can barely remember anything since her Shadow came out because goddamn is she scary in combat. XI -- STRENGTH Katsura Tsuruya -- Also a mixed bag. Has tried to convince Akemi to not get wrapped up in the world of magic, which sounds utterly ridiculous to her. That said, this also appears to be out of misguided compassion. Also introduced Akemi to the magical world of fighting games, which she is better at than expected but worse at than she thinks she is. Saved her from the TV, which sort of confuses her- it's encouraging behavior Katsura's already illustrated she disapproves of. Then weird things happened between them, straining the relationship because there's only so much Akemi's fragile and awkward psyche can take. XII -- THE HANGED MAN Ryoma Ohashi -- Her twin brother. A part of her as much as she is a part of her. She'd kill for him. She thinks she'd die for him, but her Shadow disagrees with her on that matter. He reciprocates all these sentiments wholeheartedly, except that he would totally die for her. Neither one is aware of the other one's presence in the world of the supernatural, and both endeavor to keep the other "in the dark" as much as possible- Akemi is justifiably worried about his physical health and he justifiably worried about her mental health. XIII -- DEATH Yuuki Hikaru --Not a mixed bag so much as Akemi has literally no idea what to make about him. She chemically induced him into almost killing her and then they had Chinese food a little while afterwards. He teases her and she is easily flustered. He's affable enough though. He said they were friends, the concept of which is utterly foreign to her. Saved her from the TV, and it's also a good thing that she can barely remember it, or she'd be even more confused.
