華見 舞歌

Eito's teacher for Japanese language classes. She's still a teaching assistant, but is widely respected by the student body for her ability to listen to student's concerns and address them honestly. She's an OG of Eito's high school.

She shares a little of her past when Eito worries about his career path.

Maika aspired to be an actress, one day dreaming to act out screenplays written by Shiori on a national stage. Unfortunately her acting ability was middling, and she realised the dream they shared could not be fulfilled due to her lack of talent. Despite this, she never blamed Shiori for her retirement. While deliberating about her future path, she committed to helping others fulfil their dreams through the teaching occupation.

Although she lost touch with Shiori as the latter's career took off, after Shiori is returned from the Great Library contact is re-established between the former best friends. It is through Maika and the shared experience of the school library which allows Shiori to reunite with Eito after their return in spite of the temporal difference between the two.
