When Satsuki-sempai was in junior high second year he had the best girlfriend ever. In truth she was a bit like me, quiet yet so full of character once you get to know her. Akira, Ryu and Tsumetashi knew her too. Although they are all in different schools, they took time to meet and hang out together.
However, things were different in third year. The girl got uncomfortable with Satsuki-sempai. Tsumetashi also notices that Satsuki-sempai isn’t like his usual self. He is more concern with the girl’s whereabouts and who she is with instead of enjoying time with her. Akira was informed and Ryu too later on.
Girl: Tsumetashi-kun. I’m sorry to say this but I need to break up with your brother. He is a bit too possessive lately. I can’t even hang out with my girl-friends without the fear of him popping out just to check on me.
Tsumetashi: I know. I have observe him and I feel that he is changing. Don’t worry we will help you.
Girl: Thank you so much.
The next few days the girl was seen with bruises and when she was asked she simply kept quiet. One day, Akira saw Satsuki-sempai hitting the girl. They were at the back of the restaurant where they usually hang out at. Akira instantly went up to Satsuki-sempai. He stopped Satsuki-sempai and told the girl to run.
Akira: What’s wrong with you?
Satsuki: It’s none of your business.
Akira: None of my business? We are friends, Satsuki. Whatever you do has an effect on the rest of us, especially Tsumetashi. Think of how he will feel if he finds out?
Satsuki: He can think whatever he wants. I don’t see how any of this will affect him.
Akira: What exactly did she do to deserve this kind of treatment? Did she cheat on you?
Satsuki: No but she was getting too close to other people that she doesn’t seem to notice that she is my girlfriend. Is it so wrong for me to keep her in check?
Akira: It’s not but the way you are doing it is.
Satsuki: What do you know? You are not attached.
Akira: Satsuki, I don’t want to argue with you. Just stop whatever you are doing to her. It’s for your own good. I really do not want to report this. However I hope you are prepared for it when it does happen.
Things got worse. They were lucky the girl’s parents didn’t report the case. However, Tsumetashi did inform his parents about Satsuki-sempai and they all agreed to bring him to see a psychiatrist. It went fine but they all think he’s just putting up an act.
Two months later, Akira and Satsuki-sempai were out shopping. They saw the girl with another guy. The girl got scared the moment she saw Satsuki-sempai. She went in the opposite direction dragging the guy with her. Akira went to meet her for old time sake. She is happy with the new guy. Even her parents have met him and approved of their relationship. Akira, Tsumetashi and Ryu are happy for her.
However good thing doesn’t seem to last long. Two weeks later they heard the news of their death. They were shocked but Satsuki-sempai seems glad about it. By Satsuki-sempai’s reaction they knew he had something to do with the accident. They had to do something for Satsuki-sempai and so he undergoes severe hypnotherapy. That lasted till summer of last year before we met.

Akira: I guess he had a relapse of his obsession. The psychiatrist did release him before we went for the summer vacation last year. I thought with Suzu it would be fine since she is so head over heels with him that she herself avoids other guys and choose to hang out with him all the time. We thought that she is the one obsessed with Satsuki.
Mikomi: She loves him too much.
Akira: She does but he doesn’t. He is so into you that now he is getting those who are in the way of him getting you into trouble. I really fear for all of us.
Akano: And that’s exactly the reason why we are here to discuss this. We will inform them one by one of the situation starting with the brother and Ryu since they know of his previous obsession.
Inochi: Agreed.
