"Her life as a part-time proofreader for the publishing house was more normal. Three days a week she'd commute to Kanda, to the third floor of a small office building, and from nine to five she'd proofread, make tea, run downstairs . . ."(___).
The above quote characterizes the girlfriend. In essence, it tells us that she would far rather be normal and go about her business than be gawked at because she has beautiful ears. Her ears, according to the novel, have special powers. When her ears are covered, the girl is normal, although good looking and personable in nature. When her ears are uncovered, however, she becomes another person entirely. Bystanders notice, and she holds a level of control over other individuals. In addition, she has a sixth sense in relation to her ears. When "open," or unblocked as she puts it, she receives warnings and messages through her ears. When blocked, or covered, these messages are hidden to her.
