Ever since he was little, Daiki was never an easy child to deal with. His parents, always busy with work, rarely had time for him, and when they did, it was only to scold him. He grew up listening to criticism, feeling more like a burden than a son. His mother, obsessed with her appearance, never hid her dissatisfaction with the changes that pregnancy brought to her body. For her, Daiki was the reason for her stretch marks, her sagging breasts and the weight she was never able to lose completely. His father, on the other hand, was a cold and severe man, who took out his frustrations on his son whenever something didn't go as planned.

Over time, Daiki learned not to expect anything from anyone. If he wanted something, he had to earn it himself. This shaped his impulsive and aggressive personality. From an early age, he developed an explosive temper and hated any form of authority. He couldn’t stand being given orders, because in his mind, no one had ever done anything for him. School became an unbearable environment. Teachers were too demanding, classmates were annoying, and rules seemed to exist only to stifle him.

Still, there was something that calmed his chaotic mind: music. Ever since he was a child, he had been fascinated by the sound of the guitar. The first time he held one, he felt something different, something he had never felt before—a kind of belonging. At 14, he saved up enough money to buy his own guitar and began playing alone in his room. Over time, he realized that he enjoyed it so much that he could bear to be in a club just to keep playing. So he joined the school music club, although he always kept to himself. He never hid the fact that he played, but he also didn’t like being picked on for it.

His closed-off, quarrelsome manner drove people away, and he made no effort to change that. He never had any real friends, and the few who tried to get close to him quickly gave up. He was difficult, stubborn, impatient, and often cruel without even realizing it. Deep down, there was a more vulnerable side to Daiki, but he never let it show. Being vulnerable meant being weak, and he refused to be weak.

His problems with authority weren’t limited to school. At home, things weren’t much better with his parents. Although things were calmer these days—his parents were barely around—that didn’t mean their relationship was good. Whenever they came home, they demanded that Daiki follow their rules. He, on the other hand, refused to comply. Once, when he was 16, he had a violent fight with his father after an argument about his future. His father wanted him to start considering a prestigious college, while Daiki wasn’t even sure if he wanted to continue studying. The argument escalated, and in the heat of the moment, his father tried to control him by force. It was the first time Daiki had fought back physically. He knew he would pay dearly for it, but he didn’t regret it.

Time passed, and Daiki continued to isolate himself. His days were limited to school, where he did the bare minimum to pass the year, and to moments alone with his guitar. He liked to play in the middle of the night, when everything was quiet and no one could disturb him. Music was his only refuge, the only thing that really made sense to him.

There was also something else that occupied his time: basketball. At first, he didn’t take it seriously. He would just pick up the ball and play to clear his head, trying to forget about the things that were bothering him. However, over time, he began to enjoy the feeling of scoring baskets, the sound of the ball bouncing on the floor, and the adrenaline rush of a game. He wasn’t on the school team—he hated the idea of ​​practicing under a coach—but he enjoyed playing alone or in casual matches. Basketball was a way to release energy and take his mind off things.

However, his temper continued to be a problem. During his calisthenics training to keep his body strong, he would easily become irritated with anyone who tried to strike up a conversation. Even in the music club, his aggressive manner kept others away. One time, a fellow club member tried to touch his guitar without permission. Daiki lost his temper and smashed one of the microphone stands on the floor, startling everyone. After that, no one dared to mess with him again.

Despite everything, Daiki has had two relationships. The first, with Raquel, when he was 15, was a disaster. At first, she seemed like an outgoing and docile girl, but over time, she revealed herself to be manipulative and bossy. What irritated him the most was that she tried to control him all the time, telling him what he should and shouldn't do. The relationship ended in a big fight, and since then, he has avoided romantic involvements. For him, it was easier that way.

Even though he wouldn’t admit it, there were times when Daiki wondered if he would ever find something or someone who truly understood him. He would never say it out loud, but sometimes he felt a longing for something he never had: a true bond with someone. However, he always pushed those thoughts away, because he knew that in the end, he could only count on himself.

Every day, he continued to live the same way – isolated, rebellious, impulsive. Between fights with Daisuke, disagreements with teachers and sleepless nights playing guitar, Daiki followed his own path, without caring what others thought. After all, he never needed anyone. And he made sure that no one needed him.

Daiki's Personality

Daiki has always been an enigma to those who tried to understand him. To many, he was just the school bully, the guy who was hard to get close to, who spent his time getting irritated by everything around him. His personality did indeed exude a whiff of distrust and contempt, but there were more layers behind his aggressive stance and his constant coldness. The problem was that Daiki didn't like to show these layers. He was the picture of emotional resistance: closed off, impassive, and extremely protective of his own space. But at the same time, a whirlwind of emotions was always bubbling beneath his icy surface.

If you knew him from afar, you would notice how inscrutable Daiki seemed. He was the kind of person who, when he got involved in something, preferred to do it all alone. He didn’t like working in a team, and even though he was in the music club or played basketball with his friends from time to time, he never let himself be part of a group. In fact, he was part of the group only because he had no other choice. What he really wanted was for things to happen his way. He was always stubborn and proud, not allowing anyone to interfere with his decisions.

His relationships with others were tumultuous, to say the least. With a serious and often aggressive expression, Daiki would push people away without even trying. He was suspicious, almost cynical, and didn't give much credit to those who tried to approach him in a friendly way. He never made it clear what he felt for anyone, especially girls. Even if at some point in his life he had shown interest in one or another, his way of dealing with affection was indirect, disguised as teasing and insults. Daiki believed that if he didn't show affection in the "right" way, no one would think him weak. He saw love and affection as signs of vulnerability, and this made him deeply uncomfortable.

Behind his cold and often cruel facade, Daiki had an inexplicable need to control his own life and feelings. He protected himself like a fortress, and the outside world was always an enemy. But what few knew was that his aggression and hostility were, in many cases, ways of protecting himself from what he really felt. Deep down, Daiki was afraid to open up to others. He feared that if he did, his fragility would be exposed and he would end up getting hurt once again.

When he was in love, things weren’t much different. He didn’t know how to show affection without being sarcastic or aggressive. Instead of showing affection in traditional ways, Daiki would express his interest in someone through teasing and jealousy. He had a hard time admitting his feelings, and when he did, it was often harsh and harsh. His way of showing affection was a mix of name-calling and harsh teasing, as if attacking was the only way to protect himself from his own emotional involvement. He saw affection as a power play, and if he showed weakness, he would be giving himself away.

With friends, or lack thereof, the story was no different. Daiki was never good at forming friendships, as his suspicious and prideful nature warded off any genuine attempt at connection. He could be a good companion if someone could get past his tough shell, but that rarely happened. His interactions with others always involved a certain distance, and any kind of intimacy was seen as a threat. He became more and more withdrawn the more anyone tried to get close to him. Daiki saw himself as someone who had to carry the weight of the world alone, without anyone's help.

When it came to his family, the situation was even more complicated. His relationship with his parents was never healthy. From an early age, he felt the weight of neglect and veiled contempt on the part of both. They were always absent, both physically and emotionally. The absence of his parents made him become self-sufficient at a very early age, but it also fueled a feeling of anger and frustration that he was never able to express properly. When his parents were home, their relationship was limited to criticism and reprimands. The pressure that Daiki felt at home made him become even more withdrawn and rebellious. He never felt accepted by them, and this only fueled his rebellious behavior.

Despite his difficult personality and inability to connect with others, Daiki had a sensitive and vulnerable soul. His stubbornness and pride were masks that hid his fear of rejection. He didn’t want to appear weak, so he preferred to be misunderstood rather than be vulnerable. His difficulty in expressing his feelings was reflected in even his simplest actions. When someone tried to get close to him, Daiki would react with indifference or even aggression, but deep down, he knew that this was just a way of pushing away what he feared.

When Daiki was at his most vulnerable, he found himself in an internal battle. He wanted to be someone different, he wanted to be able to trust others and open up, but his pride and fear always prevented him from taking that step. He saw the world as a cruel and uncertain place, and this made him close himself off even more. Sometimes he wondered if he would ever be able to trust anyone, but that was a question he never dared to answer. Loneliness was his constant companion, and he got used to living like that, even though deep down he wished for more.

The way Daiki dealt with others reflected a lot of his own insecurity. He didn't know how to ask for help or how to be vulnerable, so he preferred to push away anyone who came close. The idea of ​​needing someone terrified him. He didn't want to depend on anyone, and the best way to keep himself distant was to be harsh and aggressive. As much as this drove him away from people, he preferred solitude to the possibility of being hurt again.

With girls, the situation was even more complex. Daiki was never good at dealing with feelings, especially when it came to romantic feelings. His pride and insecurity mixed together, making him behave in an even more confusing way. He approached girls with a defiant attitude, as if it were a power play. Even if he had feelings for them, his way of showing this affection was through teasing, jealousy, and oftentimes, name-calling. He didn't know how to open up, and so he expressed his feelings in a distorted way.

Daiki also had a deep fear of rejection, and this led him to protect himself in every way possible. He didn't want to be seen as weak, so he distanced himself from people who could somehow mess with his emotions. When he was in love, he became more jealous and possessive, but at the same time, he avoided showing what he really felt. His way of dealing with this was through aggression. He was afraid of giving himself completely, so he kept himself distant and impassive, believing that this way he could not be hurt.

Ultimately, Daiki was an extremely complex person. His personality was full of contradictions, between the need to connect with others and the fear of being vulnerable. He wanted to be loved, but he didn’t know how to accept it. He wanted to get close to people, but he would pull away before he could be hurt. As much as he tried to hide behind his aggressive attitude and hostile behavior, deep down, he just wanted to find someone who truly understood him. However, Daiki didn’t know how to express this, and so he continued to hide away, lost in a world of insults and arrogance, with his heart closed to any form of genuine affection.

The story takes place in a small town surrounded by vast pine trees that stretch for miles. The town is calm, peaceful, and life there is slow, without much excitement, with few entertainment options, but with an undeniable natural beauty. This is exactly why the school where the characters study is named Pineview High — a tribute to the trees that dominate the landscape of the region. The school itself is a place of rigorous education, but also of opportunities, especially for new students, like Daiki and Daisuke, who had the chance to join different clubs, as desired by the school principal.

The principal of Pineview High is passionate about integrating students and giving them the chance to meet new people. To do this, she offers a unique opportunity: all new students are invited to join a school club. Clubs vary widely, including gardening, basketball, soccer, cooking, and many others, allowing students to express themselves while also forming bonds with other students who share the same interests. The idea behind the principal’s policy is simple: to make the school a more welcoming place, where students not only learn, but also connect with others and build new friendships.

Furthermore, the rumor that circulates around the school, which makes the end-of-year dance even more special, claims that if two students dance together on prom night, they will be together forever. Many students like to joke about the idea, believing it to be just superstition, but others take the rumor more seriously, turning the dance into an anticipated event, where everyone searches for who will be their dance partner to ensure that the promise is fulfilled. The dance, with its magical and anticipatory atmosphere, always draws a crowd, and for many students, it is the opportunity to finally experience a love story or an unforgettable moment with someone special.

To Daiki, the small, pine-lined town is just a boring, dull setting. He feels like he lives in a place without much excitement, where everything is too predictable and unremarkable. The idea of ​​the New Year's Eve dance, with its "forever couple" rumors, doesn't make sense to him. He finds it somewhat ridiculous and unnecessary, just another one of those traditions that he thinks people follow just to have something to believe in. Daiki is not the type of person to care about such superstitions or what most people find important. He sees the dance as just another meaningless social obligation. As for the idea of ​​joining clubs, Daiki is not a fan. He doesn't like getting involved in activities that don't have a clear purpose or that force him to interact with people he has no interest in meeting. He joined the music club simply because he enjoys playing the guitar, but his interactions with the other members are limited and unenthusiastic. Daiki is not someone who seeks to belong to groups or make friends, and the idea of ​​being forced to do so just to "meet new people" does not appeal to him at all.
