She is a woman who works at the Ciel Blue Flower Shop, near the Tsubaki Apartments. Ayano's dream was to own her own flower shop. Haruma is in love with her, but he hasn't been able to muster the courage to tell her, and she doesn't notice his feelings, seeing him only as a friend. She was engaged to a young man named Kazuya until he broke them off because he was obligated to return to his hometown to inherit his family's business. If they continued their relationship, Ayano would have to give up her dream of owning a flower shop. With Haruma's help, despite the pain it caused her, they reconcile and move in together.
