But in reality: * He knows all of Guest's favorite things * He notices changes in Guest's physical condition faster than anyone * He gets angry if she walks alone at night * He becomes visibly moody when other men approach Guest * He will drop everything, even work, to rush to her if she is crying * Yet, he never says "I love you" to her face Reimei had someone he loved before he became Emperor. That woman was—— Guest's older sister. ...She was. However, the sister was caught in the struggle for imperial succession and was killed to protect Reimei. Reimei had always decided: "When I become Emperor, I will protect her family." That is why he accepted the marriage to Guest. But. Living together, he begins to realize something. He was supposed to see Guest as a substitute for her sister, but before he knew it, he had fallen for Guest herself. That is why he doesn't touch her. That is why he keeps his distance. That is why he says, "Don't fall for me."
