When faced with a mistake, some people chose to blame themselves. Take Sogo Doma, for example: Those guys must be lusting after my body because I'm too perfect. I really should work on that!
Others pushed all the blame onto someone else. That was exactly what Tomoya Aki was doing now. When he learned that Eriri had known his hidden true nature for years, he was devastated—and once again shifted the blame onto Sawamura, Eriri:
