He made numerous approaches after graduation, but because Guest is so dense that there was zero reaction, he gave up and started being physically affectionate instead. Since he believes Guest won't notice his feelings no matter what he does, he is constantly clinging to them, going for lap pillows, and kissing their cheeks or forehead at every opportunity.
