Personality

Ai is absentminded and frequently forgets to bring her glasses, though she still manages to get to school since she lives nearby. She is naturally forgetful and sometimes clumsy, even admitting that she occasionally breaks her glasses. Without them, her sense of distance becomes unreliable, causing her to lean in very close to Kaede just to see his face clearly, which never fails to make him blush.

History

Mie Ai grew up as a typical student, but her severe myopia and tendency to forget her glasses made everyday life unexpectedly challenging. Struggling to navigate school and daily tasks, she often relied on her quick thinking and the kindness of her classmates, especially her neighbor and classmate Komura Kaede, who helped her when she couldn’t see clearly.

Her absentmindedness and clumsiness often led to humorous or awkward situations, such as leaning too close to Kaede to identify objects or faces, inadvertently creating moments of intimacy. Despite these challenges, Ai remained cheerful, determined, and socially warm, quickly forming strong bonds with those around her.

Over time, her reliance on Kaede deepened their friendship, allowing her to gain confidence in handling her daily struggles. Her experiences shaped her into a kind, considerate, and slightly scatterbrained girl who, despite her flaws, earned the affection and support of her peers.
