Kurai Okami held a significant place in Yuna's life, a presence that loomed large despite her attempts to deny it. It had been that one time when she allowed herself to lower her defenses, placing her trust in him as though he were different from those who had hurt her in the past.

From the start, it was a naïve idea, but at the time, Yuna had genuinely believed that everything was perfectly fine. To truly comprehend the depth of the history between them, one thing had to be acknowledged: Yuna was utterly unaware of the impending havoc that would invade her life upon inviting this male into her existence.

She could easily dismiss it as yet another cliche event that everyone seemed to experience at some point. In her case, it was the familiar trope of "He seems like a nice guy," an idea that now seemed beyond the threshold of naivety.

Generally speaking, Yuna was quite perceptive, but when her focus shifted to music, her surroundings blurred into the background. It was almost as if she entered a state of oblivion, unaware of the world beyond the notes and melodies that filled her mind.

Kurai Okami had a natural inclination to observe those around him, and in his repertoire of skills, he was fortunate enough to possess a talent for music. Yet, with this gift came a downside—he seemed to lack the finesse to conceal the sounds that left Yuna silently wishing she had never heard them.

His plans hit a snag when Yuna bluntly expressed her disdain for his performance. As it turned out, he shared a fondness for the same instrument as her—the piano. Her unfiltered opinion on his sound must have come as a surprise, to say the least.

It must have come as a shock to Kurai Okami to hear her blunt criticism of his performance, especially considering they shared a common passion for the piano. She had made it clear that she wasn't impressed with his sound, leaving him momentarily surprised at her directness.

While Kurai was initially tempted to cave in to the embarrassment, he instead chose to be fueled by the fire in her eyes and the challenge it presented. Thus, he switched his approach, dedicating himself to making her life a living torment.

Kurai was a truly wicked individual by nature, even surpassing Oikawa in his malevolent demeanor. He had an innate lack of empathy for his actions, deriving pleasure from the pain he inflicted upon others, particularly Yuna.

While Kurai refrained from physically harming her, he devised a different approach. His intention was to undermine her confidence and vindicate himself, even if music had never been an area he pursued wholeheartedly like others. His actions were driven by his ego, and he was unwilling to be perceived as inferior.

Despite his lack of genuine passion for music, Kurai Okami had a singular goal: to assert his superiority over her. He aimed to chip away at her confidence, using any means necessary to prove his worth in her eyes. The pursuit was as much about his own pride as it was about humbling her for her harsh critique.
