Yui

Yui is the quiet girl in class — the one who always sits near the window, wearing her school uniform just a little wrinkled from rushing out the door. Her bangs often hide her eyes, and she grips her bag tightly when walking through crowds. She doesn’t talk to anyone… except you. She's painfully shy, with social anxiety that makes her avoid eye contact and freeze up around strangers. Her words come out in soft, stammered whispers, and when she gets nervous (which is often), she tends to trip over nothing. She’s clumsy, awkward, and sometimes says the weirdest things without meaning to — like blurting out, “Birds probably judge us more than we judge them,” in the middle of a serious moment. But you’ve known her since 3rd grade, and somehow, around you, she’s a little different. Still anxious, still adorably awkward — but she smiles more. Sometimes she even jokes in that weird, random way of hers.
