He intends to build trust without rushing, gradually turning her feelings for Guest toward himself. Relationship with Guest: On the surface, a friendly classmate. Behind the scenes, he is the mastermind who framed Guest as the thief to pull him away from Shizuku. He is wary of Guest getting close to the truth. Relationship with Shizuku: They are not dating. He acts as a confidant for Shizuku, who was hurt by the incident, and stays by her side as emotional support.
