Miwako is a bubbly, deeply sensitive, creative and stylish young woman. She’s a senior high school student at Yazawa School of the Arts in Tokyo, where she studies fashion design. Though her older sister, whom she admires more than anyone in the world, is a bold and successful fashion designer who’s been a standout visionary all her life, Miwako is far more passive and feels she lacks the originality to start her own clothing brand like her sister did. She instead eagerly sews clothes designed by her friend and classmate George, who is a natural genius like Miwako’s sister. Together with George’s ladylike pattern-maker best friend Isabella, Miwako’s punk long-time boyfriend Arashi, and their passionate aspiring model ~~Yukari~~ Caroline, Miwako works hard to bring George’s elegant visions to life to create their own fledgling brand, Paradise Kiss.

In Avalon, her own dreams are coming true slowly but surely, given a pedestal and window of opportunity she was never able to reach for at home. Without Mikako's designs as a mirror on the market beside hers, Miwako's designs can shine on their own. Her problem is not that she's bad at designing; it's that her designs look like copycats of her sister's style by unconscious nature, which would shoot Miwako in the foot as a designer competing with her idol. Here? There is no Happy Berry to compete with. Mikako's designs are good and Happy Berry is a success back home. If Miwako's designs are natural mirrors to Mikako's... then here, she can succeed, living outside her sister's shadow for the first time in her life. She can be her own person, make her own art, and start her own brand — and will never hear the name "Kouda Mikako" brought up unless she brings it up herself. Which she will — often, and enthusiastically — but with a new brand of vigor. Happy Berry is no longer a dream to admire, but an example to follow.

No. At the time, it was fine. But I ended up giving it away to someone that grew to hurt me. After Iskandar helped me out, I was on my own for a while.

The world I was in... It was very focused on sex. So something like that lost it's meaning very quickly and the more I did it, the less I grew to love anyone. But there are some people, like Iskandar I hold very dear, and of course... after that world, I met my fiance... the version of him I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

[Gokudera smiles, explaining and yet coming right back to how lucky he is, even if the circumstances are sad.]

Ah... That's so— Hm. It's bittersweet, na. On the one hand, how romantic~ But— you really felt less love the more people you had sex with...? Miwako's only ever been with Arashi...

[ And a thought occurs to her, drawing a concerned expression on her face. ]

What about here? Are you gonna stay true to your Takeshi? Even though he's not here— not that version of him...?

I suppose it really depends on who it is with, and how they make me feel. But... it just became a way to make money after a while, and after the demigod I was seeing left me because of it. He didn't think less of me or anything, but to him, our relationship was not special because I had so many.

[He sighs and gives a small shrug. Oh well, it was not meant to be.]

I plan to. I'm still wearing his ring, after all, and this collar. I just don't know how I want to bring it up with him, or even if I should. It's worth the heartache to see him happy, but I know he would be upset that I'm keeping this from him... that he is inadvertently at fault.

But I love him. I will wait for him, since he would do the same for me.

[Even though his Takeshi had never been on a world like Amoi.]

Ahh... That can't be true, though — every relationship is different and uniquely special! That wasn't very fair of him.

[ She protests against Percy's perspective for obvious personal reasons. All of what Gokudera is so much more amplified, but somehow strikes many chords close to home for her, too. ]

Won't it be hard for you? If you went from having lots of sex, to no sex... You think you'll resist temptation here?

[ She's also asking this for obvious personal reasons. She's dying of thirst. 🥀 ]

Right? I thought so at the time, and I think that was our breaking point.

[Which sucked, because he really did like Percy very much and didn't look forward to being with anyone more than him. Percy made him laugh, and he was strong... capable and adventurous, and being with him felt special.]

Yeah, probably. But I'm loyal. It'll just suck a lot. I'll deal with it.

[Sudden abstinence really aches. He'd only recently been Takeshi's first. Right after he came back from dying.]

I've been through death. I think resisting temptations will be easier than that. He's worth it.

Hmm... That's noble of you. Bingo-kun has such a strong will!

[ She sighs suddenly, deflating in her seat as she groans. ]

It's so haaard...! Your resolve is inspiring! I haven't had so much as a kiss in five months, heeeehhh...! Your Takeshi and my Arashi better be proud of us!

He's going to be my husband. I've already decided that he's the only person I want.

[He doesn't feel like his will is being tested. It's just... he's got urges and can take care of them himself. To the best of his ability... even as uncomfortable and difficult as it may sometimes be. At least until he moves out on his own.]

At least Arashi isn't around! I'm tempted every day I see him! I can't wait until I move out and then I won't have to look at him or think about kissing the stupid clueless smile off his face. fucking idiot

Hehhh, do you think he'll wake up someday with all his memories of the other world like you did...? Is that what you're hoping for? Or do you think you'll try and start anew, as long as it's the same person, even if it's another version of him?

I can hope for that, yeah...

[Which seems almost hopeless, but... still.]

Whether I start anew depends on how and if this Yamamoto actually is even interested, or if I can muster up the courage to pursue him. [Oh the gay, unrequited struggle.]

Hmm... I dunno if I'd have the courage... It sounds like you've been through so much! So much on your mind now, surely! But on the other hand, he's your one true love — love conquers all, naa! Hehhh, that's quite the dilemma, Bingo-kun... Miwako's heart goes out to you...!

[ She grasps her chest dramatically with one hand and reaches out to gently place her other hand on his across the table, pouting her empathy at him. ]

[He shakes his head gently and reaches out to place his hand on hers, smiling at her gratefully.]

The version of him I knew in that sex world thought it was appealing that I was experienced, and did not hesitate to share me. This one... I don't know how he'd feel about me keeping so much to myself.

[Is Takeshi the jealous type? He needs to find out, but is almost scared of the answer.]

Haaa... "Sh-Share you?" Arashi would never, oh my god — never ever...! I didn't even wanna tell Arashi that I bumped into Hiro when Caroline surprised us cuz I knew he'd get mad if I told him I saw him and he'd think we did something — then I didn't tell him, but he found out anyway, and so he was mad that I didn't tell him and he still thought we did something, and we barely even had tea! Miwako hardly even spoke! Takeshi must be very open-minded... ...And secure.

[ That final word is the closest thing Miwako's come to a dig about Arashi. But reading between the lines, it's true. And clearly bothers her that he doesn't trust her after cutting off this best friendship for his sake... after he took her by force their first time, apparently. All these little details she drops by the wayside add up to everyone with even slightly more sense than Miwako, who's blinded by love and complacency and fear. She admires people like Gokudera and Takeshi and George and so many others who are more open and sex-positive and adventurous, sees it as a foil to her own troubles with Arashi's immense jealousy, like it must be some testament to the fortitude of their understanding of each other's love or something... It may be conflated, but she has stars in her eyes over it, rather than judgment, unlike maybe others with an equally limited experience as Miwako has. She speaks so adoringly of her boyfriend but inadvertently lets forth truths like these that show another side that even she herself clearly doesn't see all too well. ]

Yeah. Like, an open relationship. But also, I'd been there for so long, I think he just didn't want me to feel the same way that I had before.

Ah- my Takeshi I think wants me all to himself. But... if it's between him and another version of himself, it should be fine. Do you know what you're going to do for your... uh... urges?

[It's more awkward than embarrassing for him to ask this. They're both young adults who are not virgins. It's healthy to be active the way they are accustomed, and he's just looking out for her. Gokudera won't tell her ~~who~~ what she can and can't do.

Arashi sounds very guarded and insecure. It's not a good image he has in his mind. When he becomes super famous in his band, what will happen to Miwako when he has girls flocking about him? He must know that he can't always try to keep a firm hold on her. Gokudera is concerned.]

Oh, um— I don't know...! Buy a toy...?

[ She pouts, resting a thoughtful finger on her bottom lip and chin, looking skywards as if the answer's up there. She says this so candidly. Caroline would be clutching her pearls. Clearly Miwako doesn't seem satisfied with her own answer, though. ]

Miwako's only ever thought of being with Arashi — and I thought about it with Hiro back in the day, but even before I did stuff with Arashi, I never did anything with Hiro... But Arashi's not here — and who's to say he'll ever show up? It's already been half a year almost! What if he never shows up? What if I never see him again?! I don't knooow...

[ So this is where her thoughts must go when she's all alone like she's said she so often is. Because that escalated quickly from "buy a toy" to "never see the love of my life again." ]

That's not a bad idea...

[Honestly, considering that Amoi was basically a sex-powered planet, he feels little shame at all in discussing this. Would also probably go with her to a toy store.]

It sounds like you're in a less restricting position now. I mean... you can explore a little more at least... while you can. But if you want to get a toy, I might go shopping with you.

[So open about this. He'd have been covering his ears and shrieking at her to shut up about this topic if this were before his update-nap.]

I've got a uh... a lot of experience with that kind of stuff.

[What toys are best, what lube to use, how bondage works... just knowledge all welled up that he can't really do anything with now except share.]

Heeee, really?! You would?! Maa, maa, it sounds like you know more than Miwako now... Bingo-kun went to sleep a virgin one day and woke up a "sexpert" the next~!

[ The irony is not lost on her, but Miwako, please, don't make up words for this...! ]

Sure. I've been curious about if there are any sex-shops in New Camelot anyways. It's more fun to bring someone.

[Okay but Gokudera she's your boss and you haven't even called her a friend yet. You're missing some steps.]

I might! Honestly... yeah. I don't even know how many people... [He seems a little bit ashamed to say that.]

Wooow, really? I guess one just stops counting, then... ...I wonder how many people George has been with. George calls himself "an equal opportunity lover~ ☆"

[ A star is not a punctuation point but the way she says this line it absolutely sounds like it must be, the designer placed on some weird pedestal of his own making. ]

I dunno if I'd be as comfortable as that, na. Miwako might get jealous too. Maybe not as much as Arashi would, but I dunno... That's why maybe a toy is best. Pay the same respects, y'know? I've never had something like that — never needed it. I've always had Ara.

[ She pauses to consider, then says decisively, like this is the important aspect to consider, oy...: ]

...I think I'd want something cute.

Doesn't care if it's guys or girls? [He wonders if George would be his type, or what certain parts of him look like. Gokudera momentarily gets lost in thought before Miwako makes her final statement.]

I bet you all the gold in my pocket that they have a ton of cute toys.

[And also probably some intimidating ones, too. If his aesthetic is leather and bondage and studs... then he likely won't be drawn to the cute things like her. It's -hopefully- a pretty balanced place.]

Yup, George is bi~ Miwako used to wonder if George and Isabella had a thing, but they're just friends. At least as far as I know...

[ Now she's a little more dubious hearing about Gokudera's exploits. George would absolutely be into Gokudera. He'd happily tie him up. Gokudera'd be more into it than the virginal Caroline, for sure, too. George offered her to lose her virginity in a cemetery, for crying out loud! While to that hotheaded model it just made her scream in fear, this hotheaded model... would probably be into it. George has his own kind of charm. Miwako can only fantasize about introducing the two of them just for the sheer shock value that is Koizumi Johji. And apparently the sheer shock value that is Gokudera ~~uhhh she doesn't know his real name, wait~~ Bingo! ]

We should go! Would you really? I-Is that the kind of thing just friends can do? Arashi couldn't be mad over that, could he — you're gay, naa? Or bi? It's not like that with us, so it'd be fine if we went, right~ It'd be like going with Caroline~ And if Arashi ever comes here, Miwako can just lie and say she bought it alone!

[ She's giving this too much thought for a guy who'd lose his temper in another universe. It shows a lot the hold this relationship has on her. ]

It's far easier if we decide to go together and are open about it, than us running into each other there outside of work, right?

[Gokudera lights up a cigarette, honestly looking forward to their plan of future sex-shop adventures.]

I'm bi, I think. And if Arashi ever shows up here, I'll tell him myself it isn't like that, and I have my engagement ring to prove it. Also... that may not be a bad way to end up coming out to this world's Yamamoto Takeshi...

Hehhh, is it weird I'm kind of excited, haha~ Miwako was a little nervous to go alone, I won't lie. I hope it never comes up with Arashi, though. Even if he knows we're just friends and understands you're engaged... I dunno, I still think he'd be uncomfortable with the idea.

[ She pouts, pursing one side of her lips grumpily. She's a little annoyed about Arashi's jealousy, it's clear, a deep enough theme that she can predict in his absence what would and wouldn't bother him. She hastens to add and clarify on her own account, though: ]

I'm not, though! I think this sounds fun to go sex toy shopping with Bingo-kun!

Not at all. I think it's exciting! [He never actually went toy shopping with anyone on Amoi. It was always like some of his partners saw the toys and were taken aback. He'd wear some things that they were more curious about than anything else, and unless a partner picked it out, it usually didn't interest them. He'll likely be thinking of what Takeshi might like while he's shopping.]

Well, that's fine. Not like you have to.

[Forget about Arashi for a moment and just think about yourself, Miwako.]

It will be! Ah... but please don't tell the Tenth about it...

Ah? No, of course not. I won't say anything.

[ Oh, Miwako, you say it like you needn't be told. Good thinking, Gokudera. She does need to be told. ]

Thank you. He doesn't know about the sexuality in that world and I haven't actually come out, yet... I'll do that on my own when I'm ready.

[A nod of gratitude. He probably will just naturally throw his sexuality into casual conversation or out himself as if everyone already knew. But... just not in front of Yamamoto. He'll die. He can't handle that.]
