Editing Hanako Ikezawa (section)

==Relationships==
===Family===
[[Mr. and Mrs. Ikezawa]] (Hanako's parents) died in a house fire when Hanako was eight and she only survived because her mother shielded her from the flames. Unfortunately, the entire right side of Hanako's body was badly burned and scarred. With no living relatives, Hanako became a ward of the state.

===Students===
Hanako has only brief acquaintances with her fellow students; the only person at Yamaku with whom she has a deeper relationship is [[Lilly Satou]]. Their friendship started when Lilly moved into the dorm room next to hers. Hanako was able to open up to Lilly, presumably because her blindness meant that Lilly would not react to Hanako's scarring. Ever since Lilly moved into the dorm, their friendship deepened, with Hanako depending the most on Lilly. Lilly deeply cares for Hanako, always looking out for her well being. She even bought Hanako a doll for her birthday and a phone for Christmas. Although [[Shizune Hakamichi]] and [[Shiina Mikado]] care for her well being as a student, they frown upon the liberties granted to her due to her social anxiety. Hanako is shown to be crippled in social situations on multiple occasions, and is prone to running away or even breaking down, going so far as becoming catatonic, only worsened by other students staring and speculating on what had happened. Later in Lilly's route she ends up joining the newspaper club and makes a few more friends, eventually overcoming her anxiety.

===Staff===
Hanako only interacts with the [[Yamaku Academy]]'s staff members if necessary. Usually the teachers, mostly [[Akio Mutou]], try to give Hanako time to herself, which often leads to her secluding herself in the library, even during class hours. Hanako is also acquainted with [[Yuuko Shirakawa]] the librarian through Lilly.

=== Outsiders ===

Hanako has few acquaintances outside of Yamaku. She is shown to be very fond of [[Akira Satou]] ([[Lilly Satou]]'s elder sister), who even attends Hanako's birthday party with a gift of two wine bottles. Akira takes Lilly, Hanako and [[Hisao Nakai]] for a night out in the city just before Lilly leaves for Scotland to visit her family. It is also mentioned that Hanako visits a therapist every weekend.
