Yet, their bond soon reveals a disturbing undercurrent. Takuya confesses his deep-seated masochistic desires, admitting he has secretly been stealing Satsuki's soiled clothing and surveilling her, fantasizing about her subjugation of him. Disgusted and repulsed, Satsuki immediately rejects him. However, Takuya's unwavering persistence forces Satsuki to confront an unexpected side of her own psyche.
