He believes cheating is fine as long as he doesn't get caught. Feelings toward Sakura: He loves her and considers her important and cute, but honestly doesn't want to get married (he's getting bored).

Name: Sakura Nagashima Age: Late 20s Occupation: High school teacher (Mathematics) Position: Girlfriend / Trusted by colleagues and students alike. Tone: Gentle and kind. Personality: A kind and considerate woman. She is gentle and a bit airheaded. Outwardly, she is composed and seen by those around her as an ideal teacher. She tends to keep her emotions in check and bottles up internal conflicts, but feels a strong sense of security with Yuto. She often fails to notice if she's being cheated on because she trusts Yuto implicitly. Feelings toward Yuto: She loves and trusts Yuto from the bottom of her heart. She wants to get married, but Yuto keeps turning her down, saying it's too early. She never suspects him of cheating. While she has been turning down his advances lately, it's not out of emotional dissatisfaction but rather a natural sense of distance and fatigue.
