History[]
Aoi met Taro Sakamoto at a convenience store. He instantly fell in love with her and they soon started dating. While Sakamoto was still working as a member of Order, Aoi grew fed up with his nonchalant behavior in his life as an assassin and showed him what it was like to lose someone precious to him as she threw herself off a balcony. Sakamoto saved her but Aoi taught him a harsh lesson on valuing on the lives of others. She made him promise never to take another person's life and to devote his own life in helping others to make up for all the people he's killed.
