History

Nakamine teaches physics at Katagiri, the very school he once attended. He shares that history with Shin Yasuda, a fellow alumnus and now colleague who does not actually remember him; their dynamic mirrors their school years, with Yasuda mildly exasperated and Nakamine laughing everything off.

He has also stayed close with Masumune Sasaki since high school. The two live near each other, and Nakamine thinks nothing of borrowing games from him.
