Karin Izumi

"Memories aren't a prison. I'm going to study abroad. I'll study fashion in France. There's a place I've always wanted to go, and I finally passed their exam. Big Sis always encouraged me with that stuff... so I came to tell her I did it. Why not live your own life, too? That'd make her way more happy than anything you could do!"

She tries to convince Kazuki that her sister's death wasn't his fault but he persists and leaves. Later on, Karin meets with Kazuki again after they both visit Yuzuko's grave. This time, they manage to talk properly and she reminds Kazuki that the memories of her sister wasn't supposed to be a prison and that he should move on and live his life, which she believes would make her sister happy.
