Shizune Hakamichi
Shizune Hakamichi (羽加道静音, Hakamichi Shizune) is the class representative of Class 3-3 at Yamaku Academy, as well as the president of the Student Council. She is deaf, and as such, resorts to sign language to communicate (however Misha is often used as her interpreter). She is very diligent when it comes to her work, and does not appreciate people around her slacking off or shirking their duties. She is very strict towards others, in contrast to fellow class representative of 3-2, her cousin Lilly Satou.
- "Strong willed and forceful, Shizune is definitely the leader type. She’s been the class rep, despite being deaf and mute, for as long as her class has had one, and generally takes charge in just about any situation she’s placed in. Shizune is known around the school as a fearsome taskmaster, and skilled manipulator, but also as a fair and just leader."

Students
Shiina Mikado - Shizune's best friend and interpreter, Misha met Shizune at the beginning of a year and Misha knew little sign but, just enough for Shizune to become her friend. Shizune grew on Misha and eventually Misha developed a crush on Shizune but Shizune declined her. Shizune notes all throughout the arc that she doesn't give Misha enough credit for her actions such as letting her grades tumble to spend time with her. Misha really is loyal to Shizune and the two rarely fight, however, depending on the ending you decide to take will decide whether or not Shizune and Misha will continue to be friends after graduation.
Lily Satou - Shizune is not very fond of Lily, often arguing with her whenever they meet, a prime example being Cold War. When Hisao talks to Lily alone about Shizune, Lily notes that Shizune is pushy, rude, and scary. Shizune describes Lily as lazy and selfish. Both in the past seemed to have worked together however, Shizune and Lily were both once in the Student Council before Shizune "scared off" the rest of the members leaving it to just Misha and Shizune, Misha recalls that they were forced to run a booth in last years festival together and Shizune, Lily, and Misha took jobs to get the work done. Recently, Shizune and Lily still haven't been able to get along but they do respect each other and won't pour salt on each others wounds. Shizune and Lily went fishing and didn't fight at all (Hisao did have to alter some of Shizune's words)

Trivia
- Shizune's path is the only path that takes place throughout the entire school year and ends on their last days at Yamaku.
- She is the only romanceable character who does not cry during the course of her path, not even in the bad ending. Unless you count her first sexual encounter with Hisao during their visit at her family's house, where you can see some small tears during the act.
- Unlike the other girls on their respective routes, or scenes during Act 1, there's not a single scene with Shizune (nor Misha) where Hisao decides to talk to her about his arrhythmia problem. The most direct revelation he says comes in Slow Recovery during Act 1, but as an option leading to the Bad Ending. Although he gives some hints in later scenes about being hospitalized in the past as the cause of being transferred to Yamaku, but nothing else.
- Shizune's name translates roughly as "quiet".
- She wears a watch on her right wrist which is never actually seen, only mentioned and described. It has golden hands and is described as "delicate" by Hisao.
