Haruka Etou (江藤 悠, Etō Haruka) is a student of 9th Grade Class 3 in 1998 at Yomiyama North Middle School, being a member of the Swimming Club and sitting behind Yūya Mochizuki in the classroom.
Appearance[]
Haruka is a fair-skinned girl of average height. Her dark pink hair distinguishes her among the girls, since she wears it in a masculine cut, having it short to the ears. She has purple eyes.
She is only ever seen wearing the standard female uniform because she was also one of the students who skipped the school trip.
Personality[]
Haruka is shown to be a calm, sociable, friendly, and sporty girl who likes to hang out with her best friend Naomi Fujimaki and other girls like Kazue Satou, San Watanabe, and Matsuko Arita. However, after witnessing the final fate of her teacher, Haruka was visibly shocked, anguished, and scared, thus showing herself to be a sensitive and highly disturbed person, despite such emotions being understandable after such a scene.
Plot[]
Haruka was one of the students of Class 3-3, though she didn't take part in many of the class' discussions about the curse, suggesting she may have been one of the students who didn't believe in it in the first place. She was friends with Naomi, with whom she often ate lunch.
Haruka was in class when her teacher committed suicide ("Sphere Joint"), and was one of the students who fled the class following that event. She was later seen sitting on the floor, in shock.
In "Body Paint", she appeared in Kōichi's nightmare along with the rest of the class, suggesting he was concerned for her safety, though this was probably more in a general sense, as the two never actually spoke.
Probably as a result of her traumatic experience in class, Haruka didn't go on the class trip, meaning she is almost certainly still alive.
