Nagamine, Mikako

長峰美加子

Mikako is a junior high school student who has fallen for Terao Noboru, yet she was selected to participate in a space expedition. During her time in space, Mikako consistently sent text messages to Noboru, even amidst perilous circumstances. Nevertheless, Mikako continued to drift further and further from Earth. The distance became so vast that her messages would not arrive at Noboru's end for eight, nine, or ten years. She deeply missed both Earth and Noboru.
