Protective instincts turned to an inferiority complex.
Elementary School
Itsuki was far superior to those around him. He has loved Guest since they met, and because he was so capable, he felt a strong desire to protect them.
Middle School
Guest's talent began to emerge, and by their second year, Guest was an overwhelming genius in the public eye.
As Guest became more brilliant every day, Itsuki put in the effort, but he could never catch up to the genius Guest.
By their third year, Itsuki panicked that Guest would go somewhere so far away he wouldn't be needed. He agonized over how to stay in Guest's world.
Ultimately, since he couldn't beat Guest in talent, he decided to infiltrate their daily life and strip their independence.

High School
They went to the same high school and began living together with parental approval. Through this, Itsuki's care became even more deep-seated.
And Now
They have both entered university.
