The Precious Few
  • IV - The Emperor
    • Akatsuki Enda: "When I do name him, let it be thy part to praise him more than ever man did merit." -- Much Ado About Nothing; Act III, Scene 1
      • Quotes:
        • Red, gold, and orange/Will autumn kindle a flame/To scorch black my soul?
        • The greatest treasure/To assuage a wounded heart:/Your pure, azure sky
        • Purpure galaxies/A sense of no gravity/Ah, your sparkling eyes -- Akatsuki's Christmas haiku to Naomi
        • "Even if I can't speak for them, I would have done it. And I'd *rather* be 'bothered' than hear gang members on the street talking about what they'd do to you next time they saw you! There were plenty of options--you just refused to entertain them!"
        • "You wouldn't have even told anybody if I hadn't found out on my own, would you? Of course I did! Don't you understand how important you are to all of us? Naomi... you're irreplaceable. To all of us... Can't you rely on us, just a little more?"
      • Handsome, charming, and debonair, Akatsuki by all rights appears to be just the sort of young man Naomi would inevitably get along with....and she does. While their relationship is largely founded on witticisms, banter, and the occasional errant plans to run away together to give the paparazzi something to write about, it has taken a more serious note most recently when a random phone call done at Tohya's behest revealed that they had more in common that they thought initially. Their relationship has deepened after the Ball where he took it upon himself to keep her mind off of her confrontation with Seiichi Miyamoto, and then later visiting her at her home to ensure that she was alright. This continued to develop, almost to an exponential degree, especially after a reckless attempt to get in touch with Shinjiro Aragaki (which succeeded) caused Akatsuki to actually lose his temper and give her a good shaking and talking-to. Shocked by the intensity of his dismay and affection, for once in her life, Naomi actually apologizes to him for a successful plan....which has never happened to her before. His kidnapping by the hands of Rena Kinukasa has revealed for the first time a darker side to the Sumaru ojou, the part of her that is dangerously motivated by a relentless love coupled by a debilitating fear of loss.
  • VI - The Lovers
    • Tohya Kidzuki: "For in my youth, I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood." -- As You Like It; Act II, Scene 3
      • Quotes:
        • "It's just that he mentioned it and I...thought of you? You always surprise me with the things you say."
        • "Even if it's just because, you can call me anytime."
        • "I don't want to do it. I bent, on the last test like this, and I started to feel like maybe I was doing the right thing, but I can't hurt someone like this."
        • "I feel the same way about you. You're my closest friend. There's no one I've been able to share as much with."
      • A senior in Seven Sisters High School, Tohya counts for one of the first people Naomi met in her first few days as a new transferee. While she fostered a reputation for being intimidating, Naomi managed to somehow get along well with her and addresses her as "Kidzuki-senpai." A bit of a mentor in the ways of the supernatural, Tohya was instrumental in Naomi's continued education regarding her Persona's talents and abilities, having offered herself up to be her "spotter" to ensure that she didn't bite off more than she could chew. In that regard, Naomi accords Tohya with the courtesy and respect that she believes the senior is entitled to. Recently, she explained a few things to Naomi that motivated her to join KNOWS. So far, she is the only one who has seen her residence and had the occasion to meet the most important person in Naomi's life; her father, who promptly invited her to stay for dinner. Tohya has confided many things to Naomi, and in return, Naomi has let her in on aspects of her life she has never told anyone before, marking the gray-eyed girl as the heiress's closest friend. It is as if Akatsuki's kidnapping had opened the floodgates as far as Naomi's protectiveness is concerned, and this is especially true for Tohya, who Naomi tends to tunnel-vision over whenever she is in danger. She will do anything; charge into a dangerous situation, cut through her greatest weaknesses, and destroy everything in her path to get to her...so much that another friend, Himeru Namikawa, has observed that the depth of Naomi's bond with Tohya runs so deeply that she has never seen anything like it before, and that it was both terrifying and enviable.
  • XIV - Temperance
    • Miwa Saitou: "O, she is ten times more gentle than her father's crabbed, and he's composed of harshness." -- The Tempest; Act III, Scene 1
      • Quotes:
        • "You need to find whatever it is that makes you happy. Trying to compare your happiness to other people's, well... you'll only make yourself disappointed in the end."
        • "We have to do something, right? We're prepared for the worst, and we're together. We'll be okay."
      • A senior in Seven Sisters High School, Naomi met Miwa the same time she met Tohya. She occupies the first chair cello in the Music Club, and encouraged Naomi to join. They have plenty in common; gentle mannerisms, fondness for classical music and a certain love for fashion among the foremost of these, albeit their similarities were hinted at to run deeper than that. Naomi regards Miwa as one of the most beautiful people she has ever met, in looks and demeanor. Things have changed between them after the annual Christmas Ball, where she expressed her genuine regard for Miwa through her present and has asked her senior to call her by her given name. She also notably wore Miwa's present, a purple tatted bracelet, the moment she received it during the party - especially since it matched her dress! Recent discussions have revealed to Naomi the depth of Miwa's concerns regarding her and Tohya's affiliation with KNOWS, and after a heartfelt discussion, Naomi has asked Miwa to speak up her mind a little more, and that she prefers that Miwa do this more often. In the heiress's eyes, Miwa embodies most of the innocence and purity of spirit that Naomi feels that she has lost, and deep in her heart of hearts, she would like to see Miwa keep it and would do almost anything to ensure that she does.
  • XVI - The Tower
    • Himeru Namikawa: "But I have that within which passeth show; these but the trappings and the suits of woe." -- Hamlet; Act I, Scene II
      • Quotes:
        • "If you ever draw the attention of SEBEC, be wary. They offer power, and power is never free."
        • "I have no interest in making friends and acquaintances who will get themselves killed, Suzuno-sempai. Death only causes unfurfilled promises, lost possibilities and regrets to those left behind."
        • "Innocence of youth is a luxury rarely appreciated by those who still have it."
      • A chance encounter during Port Island's 25th hour had Naomi running into Himeru in the most unfortunate and surreal of circumstances. Her first, true exposure to the world of Persona-users and the Supernatural, she and this austere, first year Gekkoukan student have run into one another several times since then, and most recently, were trapped in Mikage-cho together. After a few shared meals, conversations, and texts, despite being in opposite sides of the hellish dimension, Naomi and Himeru managed to keep in contact with one another, sharing information and trading a few shards of encouragement along the way. She is one of the few people in her life who shares Naomi's formal and precisely enunciated speech patterns and in that alone, some would say it was almost inevitable that the two of them would strike a friendship...and one built out of the deeper and more concrete foundations of trust. Despite appearances, especially during the Tartarus incident in which KNOWS, SEES, and SEES allies confronted one another, Himeru and Naomi continue to get along despite the grievous injuries the former has inflicted on her, and some would say their friendship has only deepened as opposed to devolved after the fight. While she does not know the whole story, Naomi knows a bit about Himeru's own, tragic past, and is rather certain that the circumstances around her sister's death is something that profoundly caused Himeru to become the way she is. Naomi is the first person Himeru has invited into her home in a very long time, a gesture that touched the heiress beyond words, and after the younger girl's confession regarding what she saw between the Shinsengumi members during the DVA debacle, Naomi shattered Himeru's conceptions of her by detailing some of her own troubles, and that rising above them is possible to prevent oneself from becoming an empty vessel. While done out of her genuine desire to bolster Himeru, even Naomi does not realize herself just how close her friend was to the brink and that her words may have more of an effect than she herself knows...
  • XIX - The Sun
    • Tatsuya Suou: "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." -- Twelfth Night; Act II, Scene 5
      • Quotes:
        • "Words can't fix everything, and sometimes you just have to live with consequences."
        • "Honestly, you really are a troublesome woman."
        • "You're safe. I'll protect you."
        • "I like the way you are, too."
        • "This isn't a story, it's real life... Nobody's the hero, or the main character. Everybody's...everybody's dreams are as important as everyone else's. Everybody's 'destiny' is just as pivotal to the world as anyone else's. So if there is a destiny guiding us, yours is just as important as mine, Naomi. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get rid of you anytime soon. I'd probably start getting complacent."
      • Given his infamy and absurd levels of popularity, the first moment she met him, Naomi anticipated that she would never speak to him again after that. Proven wrong after a random encounter on the street, and then later at a surprise visit by the young man at her home (much to the chagrin and paranoia of her butler) intent to speak to her about some very important things, she has recently discovered that their very obvious differences are offset by their more elusive similarities. Tatsuya has exhibited an inordinate ability to consistently surprise her and in turn, she has displayed a certain adeptness in effortlessly cracking through his stoic shell. After an important conversation regarding his endeavors to protect Sumaru City and its citizens reaffirmed several things; notwithstanding her near-miraculous ability to con encourage him into displaying more affable traits. Naomi may be one of the very few people in Sumaru who has actually heard him crack a joke, seen him smile (nigh-near imperceptibly), and heard him laugh. Out of all of Naomi's acquaintances, Tohya is the only person who is closer to her than Tatsuya is, especially after a quiet conversation regarding his disgraced family as well as the original reason why he started withdrawing away from others, which also happens to be the same incident which solidified his fearsome reputation in Sevens and the rest of the city. While Naomi normally does not offer up information about herself unless asked, an excursion in an abandoned hospital to save a boy from a rumor-produced demon has her breaking that personal rule to Tatsuya (who surprisingly noticed this propensity of hers), and not only regarding herself but also a bit about her butler, Robin. Since then, they have been thrown together repeatedly in a variety of situations with an increasing level of regularity to the point that they could move cohesively in perilous situations without prior communication or planning. An outing with Mitsuru Kirijo in Tokyo revealed that Naomi does feel something for Tatsuya, but that serious circumstances prevent her from saying anything and is reluctant to get in the way of whatever happiness he might acquire for himself, driven by the idea that life is too short and she can't ask anyone to wait for her until her accounts are settled, which may take years.
