Yaki is a nickname for the Snake of Retaining Eyes! (目に焼き付ける Me ni Yakitsukeru) I copied some stuff down from amino:

Shintaro’s eye ability, given to him by Marry after promising long ago to “never forget this tragedy”, allows him to remember everything he sees, including the events of past routes.

In media such as Lost Time Memory, or Mekakucity Actors, or even Kagerou Daze III -the children reason-, Yakitsukeru takes a physical manifestation in Shintaro’s dreams.

She presents herself to Shintaro as a middle-school uniform Ayano, lacking her noteworthy crimson scarf, making her distinct from Ayano.

In both the anime and the novels, Yakitsukeru asks Shintaro if he has forgotten her.

In reality, this is just Shintaro’s snake and not really Ayano.

// for ex. this ayano from LTM is Yaki
