Project Sekai Fan-English Dub
SKATES for Hinomori Shiho
Shiho and Ichika, Saki, and Honami were friends as children. The group used to stargaze and play music, but because of Saki's hospitalization during middle school, Shiho's relationships with Ichika and Honami became strained. Other people tried to befriend Shiho, but she had no interest in them, giving her a bad reputation. Due to this reputation, she made Ichika and Honami stop talking to her, for fear of dragging them down with her. After Saki returns to school and they access the School SEKAI, the group slowly reunites and forms Leo/need, named after the meteor shower they watched together as children.
Shiho is very introverted and dislikes interacting with others. She immerses herself in things she likes and doesn't care what other people think. While she cares for her childhood friends deeply, she is not afraid to be tough on them when she feels it's necessary. Her cold, alienating demeanor comes from her fear of hurting and dragging down those around her.

[Shiho after she introduces herself...it's very short]
"That was too short, you say? But what else can I talk about... how I became interested in music?"
[Shiho talking to her older sister Shizuku]
"Yeah... Wait, why are you suddenly clinging? I've always told you to not do it when we're outside."
[Shiho wants to distance herself from Shizuku at the shopping mall]
"What do you mean... I'm just saying to keep your distance from me because it's hard to walk. (Shizuku: Ah... I'm glad. So that's what you mean!) Ahh jeez, I told you! Why are you getting closer?
