Relationships[]
Setsuna Shimazaki[]
Sōta and Setsuna Shimazaki met on a website where they both liked the drawings that each other posted on that website. They soon became friends and talked to each other a lot. When Setsuna collaborated with a very famous artist, she was criticized and accused of having stolen ideas from other artists. Sōta couldn't bring himself to help her, as he felt jealous of her, ultimately causing Setsuna to commit suicide.
Meteora Österreich[]
Sōta expresses excitement upon meeting Metora due to playing the game she came from. Meteora respects him but its implied that Meteora held some feelings for him and had him followed as she realized something happened to him.
Altair[]
Altair hates Sōta for his part on Setsuna Shimazaki's suicide. Upon first seeing Sōta, Altair didn't hesitate to attack him. She still hates that Sōta relied on a dirty and cowardly trick to revive Setsuna, but considering how much Altair went out of her way to keep Setsuna alive, it is possible that her sentiments towards Sōta have softened quite a bit, especially after Setsuna explains that Altair was created to show off to Sōta.
