Etymology

  • "人見" is an obscure term meaning a hole in the curtains of a kabuki theatre that allows someone backstage to see the audience. It can also mean public observation and a feeling of being watched. It is also part of the term referring to shyness and stranger anxiety.
    • Individually, the kanji mean "person" and "see"/"look", respectively. Read this way, it can be interpreted as "people watching".
  • "Hitomi" can be read as "", meaning "pupil of the eye".

Trivia

  • Lina's wish is very similar to the wish Haruka Kanade made. However, Lina wished for her mother's memories of Mana to vanish, whereas Haruka wished for her sister to disappear, which apparently removed her from others' memories as well. They both have similar reactions to their wishes, regretting them and eventually becoming witches over them.
    • They also made wishes involving their older (presumably, in Lina's case) sisters.
  • Lina is the only member of her team whose name does not start with M (excluding the late Futaba).
