Background[]
Before the event that ultimately changed her social disposition, Himawari is a typical student of National Shin Oshima School who has been interested in technology and computers. One day, a classmate of hers, who has been suffering from online bullying, asked help from her to try and deal with her bullies by removing the anonymity function in the school's BBS system. Himawari agreed to help out in exchange for keeping the plan a secret, but the girl eventually broke her promise. Because of this, Himawari loses her trust in others and developed a reclusive behavior.
Although she no longer attended school personally since that incident, she remained a student of National Shin Oshima School, maintaining close contact with the classroom using a powerful binocular camera she designed herself. Himawari, on the other hand, stays inside the air-conditioned room of her apartment unit nearby, visited occasionally by her mother.
