Somewhere between anger and obsession, her focus shifted.
It was no longer just about destroying Akira.
It was about Asahi.
She wanted him to look at her the way he looked at Akira.
She wanted to be chosen.
Her obsession grew with each passing day, and she let it spiral out of control, becoming the very thing she once despised.
She swiftly changed her approach.
If she couldn't break them apart from the outside, she would step in between.
The engagement came as a shock to everyone, including Akira, but it was a strategic move on Ayami's part.
Unable to break the bond between them, she had flawlessly integrated herself into their lives, putting herself in between, slowly driving them apart.
In no time, she had won Akira's trust, but Asahi was a completely different story.
The closer she got to Akira, the more she got under Asahi's skin.
Perhaps everything started with a mere missed call.
"Oh, he cut the call because he was with me."
