first love never dies: akihiko
Akihiko is Hiroki's childhood friend and first love. Their childhood story has its own subtitle and subsequent side stories under the title, "Junjou Minimum."
The first hurdle for Egoist to overcome: Hiroki moving on from Akihiko and for Nowaki to be noticed. How does one separate another's over a decade worth of longing? For Nowaki, the answer is thus: create a situation that leaves no room for rejection... pursue tactics. Pursue (nw) until there is no room for anhyone else. to occupy his thoughts / crawl under his skin / play+latch+appeal to Hiroki's pride.... With his quick thinking (nw), Nowaki appeals to Hiroki's pride: tutor him...
To open up (H) and For N tp be something more. ot that his previous dreams werent' up to par (nw) but he allowed himself to dream bigger (nw) and be more of a help (nw) to those in need.
