Yandere Traits[]
Atsushi is very doting to the listener. He is willing to walk her to school just to be near her. However, he is annoyed by Kakeru's presence, viewing him as an obstacle that he has to get rid of. He firmly believes that Kakeru only hinders the listener, making him hate Kakeru more. There are times where he gets so fed up with Kakeru that he wants to kill him so that he will stop interfering in his relationship with the listener. He even admits after his scuffle with Kakeru that he will be willing to destroy their relationship so that he's the only person she will pay attention to. During his ending, it's implied that he carries out his intentions to kill Kakeru because he still considers him a threat. He gets quite jealous of the listener hanging out with other guys and is willing to take her away from any guy that she's walking to class with. When he and Kakeru suspect that she's talking to another guy, he gets so jealous that he wants to destroy her phone so that she won't talk to anyone else. He's also quite possessive of her and willing to claim anything of hers like her smile belong to him. He seems hopeful that he and the listener will move in with him supporting them with his income. While it's not specified how long they've known each other, he intends for her to move in with him before they graduate. Should his track be selected, he submits dropout forms for him and the listener so that they can be together just as he wanted. He's shown to be sensitive to rejection such as the listener saying she doesn't need any of his food, flying into a fit of rage in response. If the listener does anything he disapproves of, he's willing to punish her and blame her for not doing what he wanted. However, he still loves her and will still take care of her, believing that she will love him back.
