Mother Aono

A cheerful woman. She doesn't know about the existence of Nao Saeki, who is the son of her former husband, Ryuji Aono's mistress. She is happy that her son has picked up the violin again after about a year. She has bonded with Ritsuko Akine, who often visits her home for violin practice, and has grown quite fond of her. Although she currently shows no signs of distress, according to Aono’s flashback, she was mentally devastated by a cruel media frenzy during the affair scandal. She had been supporting the family single-handedly, but collapsed due to overwork. She is aware that her son was considering quitting the orchestra club due to a series of events, but she does not know about the existence of his half-brother or that the two had a fight and overcame a barrier between them.
