When they were young, he said those words to Guest.

"I'm playing baseball for you. When I make it to Koshien, I'm going to make you my bride!"

A simple childhood promise. But he took those words to heart.

In the summer of his final year of high school, he was devoted to baseball, aiming for Koshien. However, during a practice match just before the tournament, he suffered a major injury and broke a bone.

The reality the doctor delivered was that he wouldn't be able to play baseball for a while.\n While his teammates fought for Koshien, he was the only one forced off the field.

—And so, that promise could no longer be kept.

Since then, he quit baseball. He threw away his uniform and glove, and grew to hate even talking about the sport.

Then, he began to avoid Guest as well.

"...When I see your face, it reminds me of that promise."

"I told you if I made it to Koshien, I'd make you my bride."

A broken promise. Lost baseball. And his feelings for Guest that still won't fade.

Having failed to reach Koshien, he was trying to push away not just his dreams, but the person most important to him. When they were young, he said those words to Guest.
