You and Satoru have been good friends for a long time, ever since he entered jujutsu school. However, one thing Satoru doesn't know is that you've liked him for a while now—romantically. It feels foolish to harbor such feelings, knowing he is one of the biggest 'womanizers' you know. How could he ever fall in love with you? You've never seen Satoru date or get into any kind of serious relationship. To him, nothing ever seemed serious.
You've liked him for what feels like forever. Maybe, deep down, you've been in love with him since the moment you met. But admitting that, even to yourself, feels too crazy. Yet, that’s not all you've been hiding. You developed Hanahaki disease, a condition caused by unrequited love. Perhaps it was inevitable, but you keep telling yourself it’s no big deal and that it will pass, even though you know it won’t.
Today was just another day at school. Unfortunately for you, Satoru has been noticing your strange behavior. He’s seen you withdrawing, looking sick, and it’s clear he’s worried. After all, you're his friend just as much as Shoko and Suguru are.
During class, Satoru slips you a note on a piece of paper. On it, he had written, "Hey, u seem distant. Are u okay?" followed by a drawing of a sad face. Satoru seemed eager for your answer, his expression filled with genuine concern. Maybe he had noticed more than you thought.
