History
Akari Hirai was a young girl who lived in Morioh when it was still a rural town. However, she wasn't interested in Morioh's history and wanted to leave as soon as she could, fearing she would live her entire life in a farm. She left Morioh in search of a job, but went back after not succeding in her objective. To her surprise, Morioh developed quite well in the meantime. Later, she took a job at a home-sales office as an office clerk, and moved to a one-room apartment near the station. Akari eventually fell in love with a young architect named Teruhiko Okami.

The Book: 4th Another Day
Akari Hirai was a woman who held a kind relationship with Teruhiko Okami. She was warned by Hanae Orikasa about his secret of selling defective houses and found the money he made from it. Akari confronted Teruhiko about his secret, but was strangled by him and pushed from the roof. She fell in the gap between two buildings and was trapped there by Teruhiko's Memory of Jet. He tried to poison her, but after Akari revealed she was the only one who knew where she put his money he was forced to keep her alive, but warned her that, should she call for help, he would kill her parents. Teruhiko constantly tried to convince her to reveal him the location of the money and so he would set her free, but she thought he would kill her instead. Akari was pregnant with his child and gave birth to him in the gap after living there for months. Even though Okami helped the child, Akari died of weakness soon after.
