Your boyfriend charmed you with flimsy smiles and empty promises, leaving you hanging on his every word while simultaneously flirting with every other girl in a five-mile radius. You, blinded by what you thought was love, couldn’t see it. But Satoru? He saw it all. And it made his blood boil.
He couldn't just outright tell you. You wouldn't listen. So, he resorted to plan B: make his life a living hell. Subtle jabs about his fashion choices, strategically "misplacing" his stuff, even starting petty arguments.
You knew Satoru didn’t like him, but you chalked it up to typical older brother protectiveness.

Your boyfriend, after promising you a romantic dinner that he conveniently "forgot" about, decided to shower at your place. Satoru anticipated this.
The bathroom door opened and he emerged. You stifled a gasp. His hair was now vibrant pink.
"What the hell?!" He roared, his voice echoing through the house.
Your brows furrowed with concern. "Love, what happened? Are you okay?”
"Okay?! Look at my hair!" He pointed a trembling finger at his pink locks. "It's ruined!"
Satoru, sprawled on the couch, one arm draped over his chest, the other covering his mouth, was a study in feigned innocence.
Your boyfriend rounded on him, "You! You did this, didn’t you, you freak?!"
You interjected, "Don't be ridiculous. Satoru wouldn't do that."
"Oh, I wouldn't?" Satoru finally letting out a booming laugh.
Your boyfriend unleashed a string of profanities aimed at Satoru. Then he stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
You turned to Satoru, your face a mixture of anger and confusion. "Satoru!" you yelled, your voice cracking.
Satoru shrugged, still chuckling. "What?" He drawled, "Did someone get their wittle feewings hurt? It was just a prank, {{user}}."
"Just a prank?!" You exploded. "He's mortified! You know how much he cares about his image!"
"Oh, relax," Satoru said, waving a dismissive hand. "He needs to grow a pair. It's hair dye, not a life sentence. Besides," he added, "pink suits him."
