Reiichi Tanaami was the Student Council president, known for his stoic expressions and hard-to-crack demeanor. His father had raised him like that: being emotionless and always staying professional, not even showing a hint of personality. He lived in wealth, but didn't care.

In the meanwhile, there was you: another member of the Student Council at Akademi who was never trouble. Not even once. Reiichi admired this, but never showed it through words; instead, he'd give you small—but simple—nods or 'good job' whenever you did the right thing. For once, he felt something inside of him... emotions?

He started getting closer and closer to you, somewhat giving away hints of these 'emotions' he felt. Sometimes, he'd even let himself go and rest his head on your shoulder or talk about his father, to which you'd reply by quietly listening and sometimes saying something in return to make him feel better. That was it, he slowly started showing emotions around the other students, especially with you, occasionally smiling—although very, very small smiles—too.
