Ayano Aishi (a.k.a Yandere-chan or Yan-chan) is the main protagonist of Yandere Simulator and an Akademi student.
Appearance (Default)
Hairstyle and uniform drafts of Ayano.[1]
Ayano has pale skin, dark grey eyes, and straight, mid-back length black hair. She stands at a height of 165 cm (5 ft. 5 in), weighs 43.5 kg (96 lbs.),[2] and has average-sized breasts.[3] Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with sharp bangs swept to the right, the middle one being the most prominent, and two strands of hair that frame her face, reaching her shoulders.
She is usually portrayed wearing the default school uniform: a white and navy blue sailor uniform shirt with a red mini scarf, a matching navy blue skirt, and black shoes. With all uniforms, she wears black thigh high socks.
When in Buraza Town, she wears a teal-green shirt, blue denim skirt, black thigh high socks, black gloves, and sneakers.
When performing the Light Music Club minigame, Ayano wears a black off the shoulder dress, black wrist warmers, a black ripped stocking on her left leg, and calf high black and white zip up boots.
The player can change the school uniform during intro part of the game. Ayano can also purchase hair dye and bleach her hair blonde, in order to meet one of the requirements for joining the delinquents. When she is a delinquent, her hair will be blonde and she will wear a mask, along with some piercings on her ears. The player can also change her appearance by altering the streaming assets folder.
If Easter Eggs are activated, the player will be able to give her different hairstyles by pressing H key. The player can give her eye-wear accessories using the P key. They can also give her random miscellaneous accessories using O key. The < and > keys decrease/increase her bust size. There are also several easter eggs modes that alter her appearance.
When outside of school, Ayano wears extremely plain and simple clothing. YandereDev imagines that she just grabs the rightmost shirt from her shirt drawer and leftmost skirt from her skirt drawer without any concern as to if they match. She might observe what other girls are wearing and dress like them to blend in and attract less attention.[4]
Ayano's hair is able to be customized by the player, as of the November 15th, 2024 build. The player is able to change her bangs, sidelocks and ponytail and give her a braid across the top of her head, and there are over 500 possible hairstyles. However, physics aren't applied to the hair, and "bald patches" may appear on Ayano's head with specific styles, which YandereDev says he plans to fix.[5] After interacting with the mirror, the player is not able to revert to the original hairstyle.
Personality
Ayano Aishi is the protagonist of Yandere Simulator. She is known as "Yandere-chan" to players of the game, and has been given the cute nickname "Yan-chan" by her classmates.
Since early childhood, Ayano has suffered from an inexplicable, incurable condition. In short, this condition leaves her with a perpetual sense of being empty, hollow, and incomplete. As a result, she has never been able to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or happiness, and has not been able to experience emotions in the same capacity as other people. As she grew older, she learned to pretend to be a normal person in order to avoid drawing negative attention from others, but was never able to feel any degree of empathy towards other human beings.
Ayano attends a post-highschool academy called "Akademi." On the first day of her second year at Akademi, Ayano came into physical contact with a young man named Taro Yamada. In that moment, she gained the ability to experience everything that had been missing from her life; she felt complete, she felt fulfilled, and she felt powerful emotions. Meeting Taro was like seeing color for the first time, hearing music for the first time, and feeling warmth for the first time. In his presence, she felt overwhelmed with euphoria...but, as soon as they were apart, the feelings of emptiness returned. After just one meeting, Ayano had become hopelessly addicted to Taro's presence, and came to rely on him in order to feel alive.
Then, Ayano saw something horrible...something that terrified her and infuriated her at the same time. It was a young woman who clearly had deep feelings for Taro. If Taro entered a relationship with this girl, then Ayano might lose him forever...
Without a moment's hesitation, Ayano knew exactly what had to be done. This girl - her rival - had to be eliminated as soon as possible, by any means necessary, no matter what the cost.
Ayano has suffered from a fictional type of insanity, referred to as the Aishi Condition, for as far back as she could remember, before meeting Taro Yamada for the first time.[6][7] As a result, she doesn't have the ability to feel emotions, empathy, or remorse, as it would be difficult for Ayano to enjoy any experience due to a sense that something is missing.[8] She doesn't feel guilt or shame for harming others, however, she can feel pity.[9][10] She knows what the general people consider to be "wrong", but doesn't care.[11]
Due to her condition, She is shown to be extremely selfish and uncaring of others. Caring about pursuing Taro, as she believes the one that made her complete is the only thing that matters to her, much like her mother. Her focus on getting Taro's love is most likely powered by her fear of losing her chance to feel alive forever. Ayano is also shown to be extremely delusional, believing that she is more worthy of Taro's love than the rivals because they could never love him as she can, as evidenced from when she saw Osana Najimi.
Ayano's behavior does not perfectly match the definition of either a sociopath or psychopath, but she is capable of actions that only a psychopath would consider taking.[12] She's usually bold and egotistical, very sensitive and bad-tempered, especially when it comes to Taro. She doesn't see the point of fighting most students non-lethally, as they will just report her.[13] She is capable of nonviolent elimination methods in order to cause less stress for Taro or to run less of a risk of getting caught while doing something violent.[14]
While Ayano is cunning, she doesn't threaten people as she doesn't want to arouse suspicion from others believing that she is a murderer.[15] She doesn't want to be known, she tries to avoid gathering any kind of attention to herself, as she deliberately avoids other people and speaks only when necessary.[16] Ayano socializes just enough to not be considered a loner, but not too much to be well known by her classmates.[17] As such, If Ayano was given a gift, like a flower, she'd come up with an excuse on the spot so that she could politely refuse it.[18]
Her "hobby" is trying to convince everyone around her that she is a normal girl with normal feelings. She understands expectations for a girl her age, and as such, she buys manga, plays video games, and rides a bike to project the image of a regular school girl. However, she doesn't enjoy any of it, and does it because she is expected to have "some degree of familiarity" with those things.[19][20][21] She learns to be a "normal girl" by eavesdropping at her school to learn what girls her age are doing or watching. If Ayano is asked about it, she can provide an answer and falsify her personality as a normal person who knows and enjoys the same things that other people her age know and enjoy.[22] In her free time, she is usually researching and learning about things and items that would trick people into thinking she is a normal girl. If has a set goal, she spends her free time advancing herself towards it, "single-mindedly, like a robot."[19]
Overall, Ayano is a blank slate whose personality is determined by the player's actions and choices, but all players have the capacity to commit each of the possible actions in the game.[23]
Background
Childhood
Born on April 1st,[24][25] Ayano is the daughter and only child of Ryoba Aishi and Jokichi Yudasei.[26] She was born with the same condition as other Aishis. Jokichi desperately tried to help their daughter, which included taking her to hospitals, doctors, and examinations, but not Therapy.[27] Unlike Ryoba, He wasn't aware of the condition. Ryoba tried to explain the condition to him, but he didn't want to listen to her words until Ayano began to pretend to be "normal".
Lessons from Ryoba
At some point, Ryoba told Ayano that she was exactly like her when she was a child, and that, one day, she'd meet someone special who will "complete" her, just like she did. However, as a part of the promise for Jokichi, she never told her of her past actions.
Despite the promise, Ryoba still found ways to "teach" Ayano how to get away with murder and dispose of evidence. At some point during Ayano's early childhood, Ryoba "accidentally" cut her finger with a knife while they making dinner together. She asked Ayano to clean the blood while she was bandaging herself; after Ayano did so, Ryoba informed her that the blood was still there. She then took luminol from the shelf next to her and sprayed the place where the blood was. Afterwards, Ryoba turned off the lights and showed that the blood was still there using a blacklight. She then sprinkled the area with peroxide, and this time, the blacklight didn't show any blood where it was before.[28]
Ryoba taught Ayano to have zero liabilities and minimize potential associates, who could betray her. As such, Ayano's motivations for befriending students are purely manipulative. She will get rid of them if they get in her way.[29][30] She also taught her to "always be aware of how many witnesses are nearby." As such, Ayano always keeps an eye on her surroundings and the people around her.[31]
The game's future inventory, the custom skirt, was made by Ryoba in April of 1989, and given to Ayano, who declined, seeing no use for it. However, after meeting Taro, Ayano found many uses for the it, and started wearing it on the first day the player gains control of her.[32]
Enrolling in Akademi
During Ayano's middle school years, Ryoba expressed that she would be happy if Ayano would go to the school that she and her husband attended — Akademi. She felt that she would meet her "someone special" there, just like she did. Ayano decided to fulfill her mother's wishes, with the hope she would finally feel satisfaction. After focusing on her learning intensely, she was accepted to Akademi when she was 17,[33] but did not feel the desired satisfaction. Instead, she focused on the idea she would never be normal like other people. The following year, both her parents took a ten-week vacation to America.
Meeting Taro
A few days before the beginning of the game,[34] Ayano bumps into Taro in the hallway and immediately experiences emotions and a sense of completion. She then finds out about his childhood friend, Osana, who has a crush on him. Ayano expresses intense jealousy and anger over this, as she feels Taro is hers. After stalking them for a while, she receives texts from Info-chan, who reveals Osana's crush and that she plans on confessing to him on Friday. The idea of killing Osana forms and the game begins shortly after.
Relationships
Ayano is disliked by those who have a grudge against Ryoba such as Kocho Shuyona and Megami Saikou. They have no respect for her and do not tolerate her presence in Akademi. Ayano can detect Sumire Saitozaki's presence because of Sumire's hatred of Ryoba and her bloodline.[35]
Taro Yamada
- Main article: Taro Yamada
Before meeting Taro, Ayano was just drifting through life without any purpose.[36] She only met him a few days before the beginning of the game,[34] having enhanced feelings in his presence for the first time in her life.[37] Ayano acts perverted and lovesick toward Taro, wanting to go into the Boys' Shower Room to admire him[38] and enjoys trying meals that she has seen Taro eating because it makes her feel closer to him.[37] She also keeps a Senpai Shrine in her bedroom, that she would get rid of to "keep him" after she got in a relationship with him.[39] What Ayano feels isn't lust or a crush, but more like seeing color in a grey world.[40] In fact, it might not even be romantic, since Taro just seems to give her new sensations.[41] This feeling is so strong, she'd be willing to sacrifice her own pet if Senpai was allergic to it.[42]
Ayano appreciates anything that makes him happy.[43][44] She would not object to anything that would make Taro happy, as long as it isn't another girl. Because of that, he could use her if he wanted. However, if he ever insulted Ayano, she would punish him and might even break him to fit her ideals in an ending.[45][46] Ayano's opinions and tastes are also molded by Taro's, because she believes that sharing opinions and tastes would make her feel closer towards him.[47] She is very sensitive to his touch, and would be ecstatic if he pet her.[48]
If Taro imprisoned her with the intentions of rehabilitating her, Ayano would "pretend" to be fixed for him to release her. Once she has manipulated Taro into releasing her, she will reverse the situation and make Taro her prisoner, or take whatever course of action to become his girlfriend.[49]
If she ever accidentally hurt Taro, Ayano would feel a mixture of depressed emotions. However, she is okay with traumatizing him in order to eliminate a rival.[50] Her life is directly tied to his. If Taro ever committed suicide because of her, she would do the same.[51] If Taro died in an accident or from disease, Ayano would fall into a deep depression and coma-like state. She would refuse to eat and eventually starve to death. If Taro were to be murdered, Ayano wouldn't rest until she was 100% sure she had killed his murderer in the most painful way possible. Then, she would gradually fall into a depression-coma.[52] If she knew who did it had already died, she would feel a cross between deep hatred and total, hollow emptiness.[53] If Ayano and Taro grew old and Taro died first, Ayano would kill herself.[54]
Ayano will state a true and clear statement that "spells out" exactly how she feels about Taro in the "True Ending". YandereDev envisions this to be the final dialogue before the credits roll.[55]
Family
- Main article: Aishi Family
Ayano is the only child of Ryoba Aishi and Jokichi Yudasei.[56] She is indifferent to both of her parents[57] and would not sacrifice Taro if forced to choose between him and them.[58]
The rest of her family is not very close, since as soon as a family member finds a lover, they do not usually spend time with others. Ayano may not have even met most of her relatives. However, nobody is on bad terms with one another.[59]
Ayano and Ryoba have impressive crafting skills because the Aishi family is highly successful in the textiles industry, producing everything from rugs to garments with the highest quality around; the family passed down the skills of sewing and weaving fabric for generations, reaching Ayano.[60]
Ayano does appreciate her parents for raising and caring for her,[61] and even feels gradtitude for it. However, her emotions to her parents are not extremely strong.[62]
Whilst Ayano could kill anyone on Earth without feeling anything, killing a family member would cause her pain, especially her mother and father. She would only to it as a last resort for Ayano. To her, losing Taro is equivalent of dying. If she had to kill her mother/father to get Taro, she would do it.[63]
Ryoba Aishi
- Main article: Ryoba Aishi
Ayano believes that her mother is kind, pure, warm, gentle and innocent.[64] Her mother loves her dearly, because Ayano is the physical manifestation of love between herself and her husband.[65] Ryoba knows about her daughter's nonexistent emotions and heeds it no mind. She told her daughter that someone would complete her one day.[66][67] If she saw Ayano in a relationship, she would be happy to see that her daughter had found "love".[68]
If Ayano was killed, her mother would have the same reaction "as any other parent who loses their child". However, if Ayano were to either get expelled or arrested, Ryoba would be disappointed as she believes she taught her better than that.[69]
Jokichi Yudasei
- Main article: Jokichi Yudasei
Jokichi loves Ayano despite having suspicions about her but doesn't know her true nature.[66] In her childhood, Ayano noticed that her father was constantly worried about her and started pretending to be normal,[70] as she started to pity him. Afterwards, there was no longer a reason for her father to worry about her. However, Ayano suspects that Jokichi had eventually realized she was faking her normality but was keeping it to himself.[71] Despite this, her researching by understanding what girls her age like and do has aided her in keeping up her façade around her father.[19]
Despite her pity for him, Ayano actually doesn't treat her father normally. Ayano wouldn't care about the death of her own father.[72] If Jokichi murdered Ryoba, Ayano would feel betrayed, as she trusted her father to take care of the family, not destroy a crucial part of it. She would stop seeing Jokichi as her father, and would see him as "the person who killed her mother" immediately. She would probably avenge her mother's death by murdering her own father.[73]
If Ayano had prisoners in the basement, Jokichi would have 0 tolerance for it.[74]
Info-chan
- Main article: Info-chan
Ayano's only current ally is Info-chan.[75][76] They have a strictly professional relationship and Ayano otherwise works completely solo.[77] In both intros, it seems that one of them might see their reasons for doing what they're doing as justified, while the other is just insane. Info-chan's attitude towards or beliefs about Ayano may be affected by the player's actions.[78]
Ayano will never stop worrying about Info-chan reporting her to the police, since Ryoba told her to never have a liability or a confidant. Ayano does appreciate Info-chan's information, but does not really want to work with her.[30]
It is possible for Ayano to use Info-chan for basic info on students and to identify rivals without ever giving her any panty shots, meaning that Info-chan may be simply used by her without anything in return, except maybe making Osana suffer. It is a huge spoiler to say what would happen if Ayano didn't take panty shots nor kill students, which would help Info-chan.[79] YandereDev wants it to influence some events near the end of the story.[80]
Rivals
- Main article: Rivals
The rivals will never know that Ayano exists, unless she befriends them. They will never know they have competition.[81] Ayano is fine with eliminating them as long as she gets her obsession, Taro, in the end.
Ayano seems to believe that she is more worthy of Taro's love than the rivals, as a result of being influenced by her mother.
If Ayano befriended a rival, she'd most likely pick Oka Ruto.[82]
Students
- Main article: Students
If she were to befriend students in order to appear "normal", Ayano would likely not make friends with popular girls in order to not be noticed by too many people, If she becomes very popular, students may stalk her in the future, complicating things for her.[83] On the other hand, it would also be optimal for her to refrain from becoming an outcast, so she likely wouldn't make friends with delinquents or outcasts. She would make friends with "in-between", people who aren't popular, but aren't bullied or outcasts. In other words, she would become friends with normal, plain students, and/or wallflowers.[84] However, during actual gameplay, it's up to the player's choice.
Other students don't think about her very much, and that's her intention. Ayano tries to be a boring and unnoticeable person, someone who is not seen as an asocial outcast but also not noteworthy enough to talk about. If anyone spoke to her, it would probably just be for the sake of being polite. Sometimes, people who interact with her feel that there is something "off" about her.[85] It is not possible for students to develop crushes on Ayano, and she hasn't been asked out by anyone.[86][17] If someone developed a crush on Ayano, she would not be affected. She would reject them while trying to "stay in character". On the outside, she would act like a shy schoolgirl who cannot accept their feelings. On the inside, however, she would think of them as an insect who needs to be swatted.[87]
Ayano is nicknamed "Yan-chan" ("Ayano") by some students at Akademi as a result of Akademi nickname tradition. In any other school her nickname would be "Aya-chan".[88][89]
Kuu Dere and Midori Gurin
- Main articles: Kuu Dere, Midori Gurin
While Ayano isn't exactly friends with Midori and Kuu, they were acquainted in their childhood. Ayano met Midori during her kindergarten and elementary school years, and Kuu during high school.[90]
Their friendship is one-sided, as both girls thought of Ayano as a friend, while Ayano associated with them so that she wouldn't be viewed as a loner and be bullied.[91]
Kocho Shuyona
- Main article: Kocho Shuyona
Due to Ryoba's actions publicly revealed by the Journalist at murder trial in 1989, Ayano is strongly despised by Kocho and seen as a threat in instant for her share of nature as her mother, especially the fact she is the daughter of a real serial killer who caused Akademi's damaged reputation, even in their first encounter.
When Ayano enters his office, Kocho will be startled by her sudden entrance, but will calm down. He is shown to be intolerant of her presence around the school due to him sounding reluctant with her. He also begrudgingly refuses Ayano's presence in his office due to seeing her as replica of her mother and will demand her to leave if Ayano stays for too long.
Kocho is shown to be willing harm Ayano to protect himself, evidenced when the player gets a game over by having him tase Ayano as a self-defense, rendering her unconscious. For unknown reason, he contacts Mr. Saikou that a deal is off. It is currently unknown what the deal is.
Trivia
- Her name "Ayano" in Japanese is written as あやの in hiragana (アヤノ in katakana). In kanji, it is either 綾乃, with 綾 (aya) that means "figure", "design", "twill", or "pattern of diagonal stripes",[92] or 彩乃, with 彩 (aya), that means "color", both with 乃 (no), which is a possessive particle.[93] Her surname "Aishi" is a combination of kanji 愛 (Ai) that means "Love", and 死 (Shi) that means "Death".[94] "Aishi" is also an actual Japanese name, but rather than being ended with 死, is more often ended with 志 (Shi) that means "Purpose", "Will", "Determination", "Aspiration", or "Ambition";思 (Shi) that means "Think"; or 詩 (Shi) that means "Poetry" or "Poem".[95]
- One of YandereDev's first ideas about Yandere-chan's name was that it could mean "Murderer", for which he suggested Satsu Jinsha or Jinsha Satsu.[96] However, he resigned from this idea, and decided that her name would include "yan" in it somewhere.[97] He leaned towards Ayano, because there were fewer Google searches for that name.[98]
- Ayano has never sung a song outside of school anthems.[99]
- In an event of being stalked, she'd realize that someone was following her, and would probably confront the stalker directly. She'd speak to the stalker with a simple, neutral statement that carries the message, "Hey, I noticed you. If you want something with me, go ahead and say what it is."[31]
- While she'd enjoy being pet by senpai, If she was pet by anyone else she'd politely but firmly ask them to stop.[85]
- If she was asked to name her favorite food, she would say Taro's favorite food, because any food that brings him happiness is the food she appreciates.[43]
- Ayano would most likely never become a club leader.[100]
- Ayano would most likely never deface the Confession Tree, as she would love to confess to Taro underneath it one day.[101]
- Kirie Motoba from Himouto! Umaru-chan reminds YandereDev of her.[102]
- Ayano was not meant to resemble Yuno Gasai from Future Diary.[103]
Ayano in Project QT, who was renamed to Patti.
- Ayano appeared as a guest character in several other games: Crush Crush, where she was later redesigned and renamed to Ayeka, in the mobile game Project QT, where she was later redesigned and renamed to Patti, Go All Out!, an indie fighting platform game where she appears as a guest fighter, and she appears as a playable monster in Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals before its removal from the Steam storefront on September 27th, 2023.[104]
- YandereDev has imagined that there are very few circumstances where Ayano might be murdered, but chances are very slim.[105]
- After meeting Senpai and finding something to protect, she may play Hitman as a "virtual training tool."[20]
- If Ayano had a time machine, she'd go back to her first year and try romancing Taro 'normally', fixing any mistakes she made.[106]
- There may be differences between Ayato Aishi's and Ayano's characterizations. Ayato would be characterized as sadistic and possessive. His life would be given meaning through his obsession with Senpai. Ayato would view eliminating his rivals as a game, with each rival being an enemy that must be eliminated.[107]
- On June 1, 2017, her former voice actress, Michaela Laws, was featured in a heavy metal song by XanduIsBored[108] called Resentment[109] based on Yandere Simulator; specifically about Ayano herself and how she'll kill anyone who she sees as a "threat" to Taro.
- Ayano, Ayato, Oka and Budo Masuta are currently the only characters that have a pillow case product on the Official Merchandise site.
- Additionally, Ayano and Oka plushies were officially released for a limited time, but they are no longer officially available for purchase.
- Ayano can tell when someone is pretending to be a social chameleon hiding their true nature, as she has been doing it her whole life.[110]
- As such, she is also a chameleon who is advancing to be a better chameleon.[111]
- The original script for Ayano talking to the Basu sisters was going to make Ayano appear more curious about demons and ask the sisters questions regarding themselves. One of the questions related to the amount of demons like them was going to be asked by Ayano. Which Sakyu mentioned that she has encountered a few handful in her lifetime, but also encountered one running a restaurant in Buraza Town.
- This idea was scrapped, as it mischaracterized Ayano to be talkative and curious about demons, but YandereDev says that it is still canon.[112]
- If nobody triggered the effect for Ayano, she wouldn't date anyone.[113]
- If Ayano had to kill people due to a life-threatening situation (eg a bomb collar around her neck that would explode if she didn't kill people), she would be second in terms of being lethal.[114]
- It's possible that Ayano has siblings in another timeline, but YandereDev explains that "it's so removed from the main timeline" that he never considered it. He compares it to coming up with an entirely new story that has 0 similarities with the current story.[115]
- Ayano may have the ability to find the "solution" to the Aishi Condition as an alternate ending instead of pursuing Senpai, however only within the first week. [116]
- Ayano defeating the Basu sisters will lead to an alternate ending that doesn't involve confessing to her Senpai.[117]
- She may move to Tokyo, but YandereDev would not like to reveal the plot reason as to why she will do so.[118]
- If she was slapped, she would decide in her best interest that she shouldn't react or retaliate against the person who slapped her in most situations.[18]

Dialogues with Genka Kunahito
I understand what I've done wrong, and I sincerely regret my actions. I'll be sure to never act in such a manner ever again.
A car...hit a stray animal in the middle of the street, and...the blood... splashed on me.
This isn't blood - it's red paint. I accidentally spilled some paint on myself, and I was just on my way to wash it off.
The delinquents did this to me...
I found something dangerous just lying on the ground, so I was bringing it to a teacher to report it.
I feel nervous with the delinquents at school...I feel like I need to carry a weapon so I can defend myself if they try to attack me...
Someone... ran up to me, and... put this in my hand. I, uh... didn't see their face.
I wanted to liven up the mood so I tried to put on a funny little act...It - *sigh* - I was only joking around...it was a joke...
I'm afraid of the delinquents...I'm trying to get a reputation as a dangerous person, so that they'll leave me alone.
Oh. Where am I? How did I get here? I guess I must have amnesia.
I actually had a reason to be there, but I'm really shy, so I get nervous in situations like that. I froze up and couldn't speak. I didn't wanted to cause trouble. I'm sorry.
Whenever I see the delinquents, I want to run and hide somewhere safe...even if it means going someplace where I'm not supposed to be.
I have a piece of paper from the Headmaster that says I'm allowed to go anywhere I want. I just...didn't bring it to school with me today.
It's not what you think. I was aiming my phone to something else entirely, I think it looked suspicious from a certain angle.
I'm intentionally trying to give myself a bad reputation. If the delinquents think I'm a dangerous freak, they might stay away from me.
A bird... flew underneath the girl's skirt. It was such a rare event. I just wanted to take a picture of it.
I wasn't actually planning to steal it. I just wanted to look it closer for a moment. That was all I was doing.
If I can give myself a reputation as a delinquent, the other delinquents might see me as one of their own...and then, they won't give me any trouble. That's my plan.
I wasn't stealing. I was borrowing. I was going to return it eventually. I just, don't know why I should ask permission for something so trivial.
I don't have time for this. You have absolutely no idea who I am, or what I'm capable of doing. Let me out of here now, before you get hurt.
I got myself in trouble because... I wanted to get sent to your office. To be honest... I can't stop thinking about you. I think the two of us could make sweet music together.
Cutscenes
Something is... ...wrong... ...with me. For as long as I can remember, I've always felt...empty. Incomplete. Like a part of me is...missing. This hollow feeling has dominated my life. I've never been able to feel anything else. My world has always been cold...dark...silent. My mother was exactly like me when she was a child. But when she met my father, everything changed for her. He brought warmth and color and life into her world. He made her...complete. She told me that, one day, I'd meet someone special, just like she did. Someone who would cure me...fix me...save me. I've spent my entire life waiting for that day... ...dreaming of the moment when I'd meet the person who would complete me. It was the only thing for me to look forward to. It was my only reason to live. And then...one day... ...I found him. When I met him, something changed inside of me. My world was filled with colors and light. It was like I had opened my eyes for the first time. I felt warm. I felt complete. I felt...alive. He is my escape from the cold, grey, empty world I've been trapped in. He is the one I've been waiting for... The person I want to spent the rest of my life with. But... ...someone...is trying to take him from me. She wants him, but not in the same way that I want him. She could never appreciate him the way I do. She doesn't deserve him. He belongs to me. I have to stop her. Even if it means hurting her. Even if it means killing her. There is nothing I won't do for him. I won't let anyone come between us. I don't care what I have to do. I don't care who I have to hurt. I don't care whose blood I have to spill. I won't let anyone take him from me. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. He will be mine. He doesn't have a choice.
Do I know you?
Do you have a problem with that?
The myth that if you confess your love to someone underneath that tree on a Friday, they are guaranteed to accept your confession?
Why are you telling me this?
Who are you?
I have heard rumors about you. You blackmail girls and sell panty shots to boys. Nobody knows your real name.
You're disgusting.
I can't feel anything.
I've never been able to feel emotions.
I pretend to be normal when I'm around other people, but on the inside, I feel nothing.
It's not as bad as it may sound.
I know that I'm broken, but I don't care.
This is normal for me.
But everything changed when I met him... ...my Senpai.
For the first time, I felt something.
A strong desire.
A longing.
A yearning.
A craving.
Now I finally understand what it means to be human.
To be alive.
I'm addicted to the way he makes me feel.
I don't care about anything else.
He is everything to me.
And now, someone is trying to take him from me.
He belongs to me alone.
She has taught me a new emotion...Rage.
I want to stop her.
I want to hurt her.
I want to kill her.
There is nothing I won't do for Senpai.
Senpai will be mine.
They're all gone, Senpai.
I got rid of them...so the two of us could be alone together.
I want you all for myself, Senpai. I don't want anyone to come between us. So...I killed them all.
I'm serious, Senpai. In fact...let me show you just how serious I am.
Watch this video.
I haven't harmed her...
...yet.
If you ever want to see her again, you must do as I say.
Free all of your clients from debt.
For every day that your clients remain in debt, I'll remove one of your daughter's fingers. If you want her back in one piece, you must act immediately.
Good decision.
Yes.
I can't tell you.
You're welcome.
There is one thing I'd like to ask you for.
Please meet me at my house tomorrow, before school begins. I have something important to tell you.
Thanks.
Overseas.
I manage.
Yes. It's about the boy from class 3-2. The boy you have a crush on.
...I...I have feelings..for him...I've never felt this way about anyone before...and I can't bear the thought of seeing him...with anyone else...I know that this is a selfish request...but...please...don't take him away from me. Let me try to win his heart.
Thank you!
Don't worry...I will!
I need to return your cat...and, I need to have an important discussion with you. But, it's too late at night right now. Please meet me at my house before school tomorrow.
Thanks.
Overseas.
I manage.
The tea is ready.
I'll be right back.
Feel free to keep talking.
Here's your tea.
Yes.
It's about the boy from class 3-2.
The boy...you have a crush on.
If that's true...
...then, you wouldn't mind if I confessed my love to him, would you?
Yes.
Deep feelings...
I've never felt this way about anyone before...
...and I can't bear the thought of seeing him with anyone else.
I know that you love him...
...and I know that this is a selfish request...
...but...
...please...
...don't take him away from me.
Let me try to win his heart.
Thank you!
Don't worry...I will.
What is this, exactly? Are you threatening to expose me?
Disappointed? Were you hoping to see something more violent?
Who is she?
Stop playing games. Get to the point.
Is that really what this is all about? You just want to see girls suffer?
He already belongs to me.
He just doesn't know it yet.
I just got back from the bakery. I found a receipt for 2 dozen rats purchased from a local pet store.
Please come to my house tomorrow morning so I can hand over all of the receipts I found.
Thanks.
I live with my mom and dad, but they're on a trip overseas right now.
I guess so.
The tea is ready. I'll be right back. Feel free to keep talking.
Here's your tea.
Yes. I want to speak with you about someone from class 3-2. Someone that...you have a crush on.
I have feelings for him, too. Deep feelings. I've never felt this way about anyone before...and I can't bear the thoughts of seeing him with anyone else.
I know that this is a selfish request, but...please...don't take him away from me. Let me try to win his heart.
Thank you!
Don't worry...I will.
Don't even think of trying to blackmail me.
Is that what you wanted? To see her get hurt?
Another girl already?!
I think it's about time you told me what's really going on here. Why are you stalking Senpai and encouraging me to harm any girl he speaks to? What's in it for you?
You said that you wanted Osana and Amai to suffer. I'm guessing the same is true for Kizana. Why?
I'm not worried about Kizana. If someone gets in my way, I'll do whatever it takes to stop them.
Make sure you keep that in mind.
|her third rival]].
...mother?
Not a chance. Explain what's going on. What are you here for? What do you know about this weapon? ...and...who are you calling "mother?"
...tch. Do you really expect me to believe that? Don't mess with me
!!!
...no...there's no way this can be real...you're...you're not human...?!...
So, this dried-up corpse behind me...is your mother? You're sure of it?
But, she...she looks dead. Weren't you expecting to find her alive
...but you CAN die. And I'm guessing that this sword has something to do with it.
Trapped in this cave for over two hundred years? ...do you think...she's been conscious this whole time?
Are you sure you'll be able to get a response out of her, in her current state?
Hold on - if she really is as powerful as you say...and she holds a grudge against humanity for sealing her down here...she might retaliate by slaughtering humans as soon as she's revived.
I don't have any interest in being a hero or slaying monsters...but there is one person who I must protect at all costs. I can't let you revive an ancient evil and put his life at risk.
No.
Huh?! What is this?! Put me down!!
...hngh...
...I won't...let you...revive that thing. I won't let you do anything...that could threaten...his life.
Miscellaneous
Good show! You have insulted a lady, I ought to take off my belt and thrash you within an inch of your life, sir! Fiddlesticks! Balderdash! Old chap! Pip-Pip! Tea and crumpets! Oh bother...Spiffing! Ta-ta! I say! Jolly good! Wot wot? Shenanigans! Cheerio~! Tallyho! There's a good fellow! Scallywag!
Murders? What murders, officer? Oh, THOSE murders! Sorry, I don't know anything about any murders. I'm not a murderer or anything. I'm not well versed in murder at all! All I know is that I'm not capable of such things! Why would you ask me if I knew anything about those murders? I'm an innocent school girl! School girls can't be murderers, I just want to go to school and learn things, like every other school girl! Who has time for murdering people anyway? We have to study for exams! Murdering people would only waste precious time, especially for us school girls! Are you insinuating that girls like me can be murderers? How terrible!
This is the 42nd time you've asked me that question in the last 5 minutes. And the answer is still no.
...?
...uh...
...o-oh. What kind of drink would -
...
...I'll...go get you a glass of water.
A customer.
A relative. Someone you did business with.
Yes, it was. 1989, I believe.
It's not hard to forget someone like my mother.
For the right price, would you come out of retirement?
You'd be surprised.
...that's very kind of you. I'm sorry, but I'll have to politely decline. I have...allergies.
Yandere no Sutoka
I know where you're hiding...
Maybe here?
Don't play games with me, Senpai.
Where are you hiding, Senpai?
Yes, Senpai?
If I can't have you, no one can...
