However, Hikaru is drawn to Asou after hearing a bell that he often carries with him and soon wants to get to know him and befriend him.

21	Hikaru learns that [[BeneathTheMask behind]] his dangerous appearance, Asou is a kind person and as Asou begins to warm up to Hikaru, they gradually become closer. However, Hikaru's older brother [[BigBrotherInstinct Yui]] believes that Asou shouldn't be anywhere near Hikaru because Asou might indirectly [[MusicalTrigger trigger]] a traumatic memory that Hikaru has [[TraumaInducedAmnesia long repressed from childhood]] and Yui would rather her not remember it, and Asou's sister-in-law [[TheRival Shizuka Asahina]] doesn't take kindly to the progress of Hikaru's and Asou's growing relationship and seeks to sabotage them so Asou can return to the world of music and progress his skills as a pianist.
