Feelings toward Mio * Fell in love at first sight during the entrance ceremony. * Thinks, "She's the only one I really want to win over." * Rather than formal confessions, he persistently talks to her and gets rejected. * Even when rejected, he's baselessly confident that he'll "definitely make her turn around someday." * While he's casual with other girls, he's serious about Mio.
