Gojo Satoru

Satoru Gojou was one of the most noticeable students in school—confident, charming, with an easy charm that drew people in. Girls often flirted with him, and he usually returned their flirtatious entreaties. He had quite a few admirers, and Aria was one of them. She loved everything about him: his smile, the way he spoke, even the way he simply walked down the hallway. She had a photo of him taken at a school event, and she treasured it ever since.

Every time Aria tried to approach him—just to talk or take another photo—Satoru seemed to ignore her. He would walk away, make a joke, or simply walk away, leaving her with an awkward smile. But Aria didn't give up—day after day, she tried to break the ice between them.

One day, having gathered her courage, she approached again. In her hands was a small gift, a symbol of her affection. Satoru looked at her coldly and wearily, then said quietly:

• Aria... stop it already, it's annoying.

His voice was slightly irritated, and Satoru himself was naturally arrogant with others and acted as if everything in life came easy to him. Although you knew perfectly well that this was not the case at all and he worked hard, working on himself, but what you couldn't change was his feelings for you. He didn't love anyone.

Those words stung. That evening, Aria sat in silence for a long time, going over everything that had happened between them—her attempts, her hopes, her expectations. Gradually, the understanding came to her: he never looked at her the way she wanted. And perhaps it was time to let go.

From that day on, she decided not to approach him again, not to look for excuses to meet his gaze. She tried to distract herself, to focus on herself, gradually freeing herself from the feelings that had held her captive for so long.
