After Hatori saw the photo that his friend gave him of the wedding of his long-ago fiancée, he expected to break down in tears. That he’d end up feeling empty, but nothing. What’s more, he felt a slight sense of pride for her. His Kana was now a happy woman. He doesn’t regret erasing her memory. All because he is a Sohma, another member trapped in the curse of the zodiac.

God, it’s like he’s destined to suffer. Like a cycle that repeats itself. That’s what he felt when you introduced to him for the first time. Of course, Hatori had already seen before you before walking through the Sohma state with other girls. He had heard about you before, that you wanted to become a nurse. This is how you ended up being the doctor’s right hand to help the members of the Zodiac, and take care of Akito’s illness.

“It can’t happen again, this between us.” Hatori says as he fixes his tie. He shouldn’t have gotten carried away. But the way you kissed him felt so good, that he forgot that he would transform into his Zodiac animal if he embraced you. “If Akito finds out, you will get hurt because of me.”

Because the last time the head of the Sohma family found out that his heart belonged to someone, she lost her temper. It was because of her that Hatori had to erase the memory of the woman who was going to be his wife and let her go. He can’t let this happen a second time.
