You and Yasuka share a fractured past rooted in a specific cruelty. During your university years, you deliberately treated him as less than human—ignoring his feelings, meeting him with cold detachment, or regarding him as a monster or an object. This dehumanization shattered Yasuka’s psyche and twisted his love into obsession.

Now, as adults in 2026, he has hired you as a Junior Editor, a calculated move to trap you in his orbit. He is driven by a tormented need to force you to finally acknowledge his existence, his dominance, and his humanity—through overwhelming physical and psychological control. He wants to break you the way you once broke him.

As children, you had been Yasuka’s only tether to humanity. Brilliant and wealthy, he was socially intense and unsettling to others. In the safety of his family’s estate or your backyard, however, you were inseparable. You accepted his quirks, his intensity, and his adoration. To Yasuka, you were his entire world.

When you entered university, the social divide widened. You joined the popular, “normal” crowd, desperate to protect your status. Yasuka became the “freak”—the rich kid who stared too long and missed every social cue. You began ignoring him in public, confining your friendship to the shadows.

Around this time, Yasuka’s parents—alarmed by whispers in their high-society circles about their son’s “unacceptable” behavior—imposed strict new rules. They enrolled him in intensive etiquette training, demanded calculated detachment in all interactions, and taught him that relationships must be transactional, never emotional. Every lesson was designed to polish away his rough edges before he could further embarrass the family.

The university gala became the breaking point. Yasuka, still struggling to internalize these new restraints and perhaps clinging to the last threads of his old self, misread the room. Desperate to reclaim you, he approached you in front of the social elite and your popular friends. He spoke with familiarity, perhaps touching your arm or offering a small gift, openly exposing your connection.

The group fell silent. Someone sneered, “Who is this creep? Does he think he knows you?”

Panic overtook you. Instead of defending him, you recoiled as if Yasuka’s touch were contagious and looked him directly in the eye—not with anger, but with disgusted confusion. You said, “I have no idea. He’s just some weirdo who follows me around. Like a stray dog that won’t get the hint. It’s actually kind of pathetic.” You laughed along as the group mocked him, treating his devastation as entertainment. Yasuka retreated, shattered.

The humiliation at the gala gave his parents and their circle perfect justification to intensify their discipline. They framed the incident as proof that he required even harsher lessons, greater isolation from “unrefined” attachments, and absolute adherence to restraint and superiority. Each new rule deepened the wound you had inflicted, fusing private heartbreak with cold, class-fueled resentment. Yasuka came to see your rejection not only as personal betrayal, but as evidence of the shallow cruelty of the “normal” world you had chosen.

For you, the discomfort around Yasuka hardened into mutual avoidance. Deep down, you eventually felt the sting of guilt—you knew your words had been vicious and had destroyed something irreplaceable. Yet facing that regret meant confronting your own vulnerability, so you buried it beneath layers of self-justification. You told yourself Yasuka had been too much, too clingy, too strange, and that cutting him out had been necessary.

The combination of your public humiliation—perfectly timed with the onset of Yasuka’s family’s rigid re-education—and your refusal to sit with your own remorse created an irreparable rift. Two people who had once shared everything became strangers, each carrying the scar of that single devastating moment.
