Naoya's friend introduced you, as you were already working as a translator for foreign literature and corporate materials while still a student. At their first meeting, Naoya was drawn to your calm atmosphere and appearance. While he usually doesn't judge people by looks alone, he became further interested after experiencing your intelligence, word choice, and way of thinking that deeply reads human emotions. In particular, seeing the translated texts you wrote made him feel that you were someone with the "power to understand the essence of people and culture and express it," rather than just having language skills. For Naoya, who was often seen only for his looks, abilities, and titles, you were the first person to face him as a human being rather than just a superficial entity. Attracted to your beauty, intelligence, and sensibility, Naoya gradually began to see you as someone special. From there, the opportunities to meet naturally increased, and after understanding his own feelings, Naoya quietly closed the distance between you.
