'I want to understand him. Someone told me that doing that is fine, but someone also told me to lay down the boundaries.'
Sumire recalls very well the words she said to old man Nobucha. She had heard two pieces of advice, and in the end, the one she felt herself more drawn to was the understanding him factor. Although it really should have been the other one. After all, those words were from her fiance. Soujiro hadn't known she was a Yankee then, but he had often seen her with Yuhi.
When he saw them together all the time and discussing rather serious matters, the golden blonde hair boy directly told her not to get too involved. He told her, 'That man is a mere dog. Even if you have to concern yourself with him, please draw a line and show your social statuses are different.'
Old Man Nobucha had told her something similar to, 'An elite is an elite. A dog is a dog. A relationship like that is better for you.'
