Alya, a pretty half-Russian woman with silver hair, is at the top of her class, in the student council and seems aloof. She constantly reprimands her neighbor Kuze Masachika – seemingly sternly, but in reality she secretly whispers her feelings to him in Russian.
She thinks he doesn’t understand her – even though Kuze speaks Russian and just acts clueless.
