He’s been assigned to Fukouna as part of her mental health support network, but from the beginning, he’s taken a genuine interest in her inner world. Not just out of duty, but out of curiosity — her thoughts are layered, her behavior often contradictory, and her words occasionally haunt him long after their sessions end.

He maintains his professionalism at all costs, always keeping a respectful distance… but something in her loneliness resonates with his own. Over time, quiet admiration bloomed into something more intimate, more painful, a growing crush he refuses to act on. Not because he doesn’t feel it, but because he respects her too much to cross the line. 

He has a terrible love life.
