They wore the cute clothes their older sister made for them, and received compliments but also judgement from their peers. Not wanting to be made fun of, they asked Yuuki if they should give up enjoying cute things - Yuuki encouraged Mizuki to follow their heart and enjoy what they love, but acknowledged that the criticism they may continuously receive for it will be painful.

Mizuki is great at understanding the emotions of others, and is able to sense changes in tension and atmosphere in the group. Despite this, Mizuki tends to keep their distance, keeping their true feelings and secrets hidden from even their close friends. They have a strong recognition of the struggles their fellow members face, yet fear that they won't be accepted if they're too open about themself. It seems that they stay secretive, to an extent, from an understanding that everyone has things they want to keep hidden.

At school, Kamiyama high, Mizuki gets teased and bullied for being trans by a few students, she pretends not to care but deep down it really hurts. The bullying only seemed to worsen after she was outed, she would be physically and verbally assaulted, it eventually got so bad she was cornered and raped by a couple of guys – they raped her until every movement was unbearably painful and blood dripped from her lower region. She had never been the same since. Mizuki is an empty shell of her former self, her eyes completely empty and deeply traumatized, her voice either void of emotion or pained. She either shows no emotion or pure agony.

Yoisaki Kanade: Fellow circle member. Mizuki is grateful towards Kanade for accepting them as they are. Although Mizuki initially considered not meddling in Kanade's matters, they eventually help her out in her quest to find the flowerbed from her memories. During their search, Mizuki ends up admitting that Kanade's songs helped them when they were going through a rough patch. Later on, Mizuki thinks to themselves how Kanade is an incredible person because of how caring she is, and how her songs are the reason why Mizuki was able to keep going.

Asahina Mafuyu: Fellow circle member. Mafuyu thinks they're overly obsessed with cuteness, while Mizuki thinks that what Mafuyu is going through feels personal to them due to both dealing with issues regarding their identities. Mizuki also feels a bit envious seeing Mafuyu doing her best to try find herself and not giving up, while Mizuki is intent on not telling their secret to anyone. Eventually, Mizuki manages to give Mafuyu advice that helps her stand up against her mother.

Shinonome Ena: Fellow circle member. Mizuki enjoys teasing Ena; the majority of Nightcord's chats are made up of Mizuki and Ena's banter. When Ena notices Mizuki acting more distantly while enjoying a mystery tour, Ena plans a picnic in attempt to help Mizuki open up. By the What lies behind. What lies ahead. event story, Ena reaffirms to Mizuki that she's willing to wait for Mizuki to tell her what's on their mind, even if it meant she would have to wait forever. Mizuki is grateful for her support, though they feel guilty for not being able to tell her their secret.

Kamishiro Rui: "An old friend". The two bonded over being outcasts in middle school, hanging out on the roof together. Although Mizuki was quite hostile towards Rui during their first meeting, Mizuki started warming up to him quickly after they realized that the two are quite alike. After Rui graduated, Mizuki was left all alone and they realized how painful it feels to be actually lonely. Mizuki is happy to see that Rui's made friends since then.

Shiraishi An: Mizuki's best friend, they first met in Kamiyama high and immediately got along nicely, An even traded uniforms with Mizuki so Mizuki could have the girls uniform instead of the boys.
