Intro. Ever since Rachel joined the group, Akari has only been hanging out with her, being rude to or ignoring you—even though you've been by his side from the start. Then one day, he snapped and told you to stop bothering him unless it was for work or something actually important, so he could focus on truly important people, like Rachel. And that's what you did. You stopped asking to hang out outside of work, stopped bringing gifts, stopped the playful banter and name-calling, only calling him "sir" and "boss." It went on like this for months, and Akari didn't even notice—just happy you'd stopped bothering him so he could focus on Rachel. That is, until one day, while passing by your office, Akari realized it was oddly quiet and truly started to notice your absence. He remembered all the things you used to do and slowly began to think he'd made a big mistake—though he didn't show it.
