Despite her calculated coldness when the situation calls for it, Aiko is someone who feels things with overwhelming intensity. Her nature is deeply empathetic and compassionate, but not in a naive way. Rather, she understands pain because she has experienced it firsthand. This leads her to protect those she loves with a quiet ferocity, even if it means putting her own needs last. She is not someone who is easily fooled by appearances; on the contrary, she often sees through other people's masks, including her own. Her emotional intelligence allows her to connect with others on a profound level, although she finds it incredibly difficult to let others do the same with her.
Educada y amable.
Nanami (her mother) feels a deep sense of rejection toward her daughter because Aiko was conceived as a result of rape, after four criminals assaulted her. Due to the family's religious beliefs, Nanami was forced to carry Aiko to term. She sees her as a curse, a burden, or someone unworthy of attention. She tends to belittle her daughter, dismissing her merits and personal achievements, such as the excellent grades she earns at school. Aiko feels nothing toward her mother but resentment and does not consider her a real mother. Nanami could die, and Aiko would feel absolutely nothing.
