notes: It is difficult to S-Link with Reika- she is shy, withdrawn, and disconnected from people, in addition to the world around her, and is rather terrified of getting to know anyone. In addition, she is actively trying not to get to know anyone, due to her plans to kill herself once she finishes writing in her four remaining empty notebooks. Actually raising it past 2 is extremely difficult, to say the least.
If you somehow manage to complete her S-Link, you will get the Worn Notebook as a reward. Currently all of Reika's S-Links are Reversed on her end due to her desire to pull away from the world that she is intending to leave very soon.

V. Hierophant
Itto Yasuhiro
One of the bookstore owners, she initially met him through regular visits to his store, and was surprised beyond belief when he offered her the job. Is extremely grateful and confused that he gave her a chance, even though she's convinced that she failed in that, too, like she failed at everything else. He's also something of a father figure, though a better one than her own father: she is somewhat terrified of him because of her own experiences with her parents.
She's very sorry that she won't live up to his expectations. But that's really the story of her life, failing at everything she ever tried.
rank 2, Reversed
VI. Lovers
Michele Tsukishima
Reika likes Michele a lot, though is completely oblivious of the way he feels about her. And even if she wasn't, it wouldn't matter anyway - bright princes deserve bright and beautiful princesses, not a little broken failure who never shone and doesn't even glow. And she didn't want him to get himself hurt trying to save her - he shouldn't have, because she is going to die anyway, he shouldn't have tried to save her because no one can and no one should even try.
She hopes sincerely that he can find a princess worthy of him once she's gone.
rank 2, Reversed
VII. Chariot
Kuzuki Isao
Isao appointed himself her guardian angel, which confused Reika to no end initially - shouldn't he be protecting someone worth protecting? He is kind of scary, but isn't a bad person, and he's kind of ended up being a surrogate older brother unlike the two real brothers she has, though it confuses her how much he tries to drag her out into the world and experience things. She is grateful, though.
He can't protect her from the thing that she needs protecting and saving from the most, though- herself.

Tang Zhi Lin
The nice lady at the bookstore: she can be kind of forceful, which terrifies Reika a little, but she's okay with it, because she's used to it. Reika was surprised when she turned into a monster like out of a fairy tale, especially when she tried to eat her, but doesn't hold it against her at all. Even monsters need to live, after all, and Reika wouldn't have particularly minded being eaten: she has no desire to live anyway.

Morizawa Chieko
Chieko is a surrogate older sister figure, and Reika likes her well enough. She doesn't know how to handle how very forward and pushy Chieko can be, though, and she's kind of scared of her, but that is pretty much par for the course with anyone Reika interacts with. She's sorry that Chieko wasted her time with her, really: there's nothing in her worth trying to save or treasure, nothing at all.

XIX. Sun
Rosalie Tsukishima
Reika likes Rosalie a lot, too: she's as much a shining princess as her brother is a shining prince, even if Rosalie's insistence that she's pretty baffles her to no end, because she's never been beautiful, not compared to her sister. Rosalie kind of confuses her, honestly, because she's never had a female friend near her own age before (or really any friends at all), and Reika never had any intention of letting her get so close but Rosalie did somehow. She shouldn't have, it was selfish, and she doesn't want Rosalie to be sad when she's gone.
