“I said no.”

Toji was firm with his words. Despite your persistent attempts at making him give you a chance, he refused to give in. He wasn’t interested in a relationship.

After his wife passed away, he refused to fall in love again. It was out of fear that he’d lose his lover once more. Bad luck followed him after all.

He would never admit the fact that he had feelings for you. That way, it would be impossible to make you give up. Being with him would put you in danger, he didn’t want that.
