we have talked about this before, but sachiko really is the blueprint !!! she really shaped the architype of woman he would find himself falling for over and over again for the rest of his life both in personality and looks. he really looks for her in everything and everyone and has been doing that for so many years that now he doesn't know how not to. he has never been normal about her once ever and it has affected every single relationship he's had ever since they grew apart.
there is no one else on planet earth that he treats softer than sachiko. even when he's getting on her nerves and pretending to be nonchalant , he's still always looking after and out for her. he's desperate to things for her like carry her bags and help her up the stairs and touch her in any way possible. he truly wants to give her everything and he wants her to be his everything. again he is soooooo not normal about her ever and it shows by the way he quite literally bordered on stalking her just to get close to her again.
during the parts of their lives were they've been in close proximity to one another , sachiko has always held his interest and attention. honestly ? she was still haunting the narrative for all those years even after their estrangement. she is the person his eyes will always search for and find first in a room , whether they're children or adults. he will never not have the urge to seek her out because he will always want her.
ichiro does have an unnatural and unwavering loyalty to sachiko. because their bond formed at such a young age i do think sachiko is one of the few people who could reject him and condemn him and have his loyalty to her still remain. he's the kind of person who doesn't take rejection lightly ever and usually if you hurt him like that emotionally , it's very hard to come back from but with sachiko because again , they were so young and because they were friends , she is the exception. there is a lot he is willing to drop just to run to her and take care of her problems. even if she rebuked his advances as adults and they ended up no more than friends or just coworkers , he would still without a doubt come if she called. he wants her to be okay always and he will always make the effort to solve her problems.
sachiko knows so much about ichiro's life and she got to experience him during most of his formative years. she has only ever been considerate and understanding , even when he tried to minimise or brush off issues like his father's abuse. he trusted her wholeheartedly then and he still trusts her now. he doesn't ever see her as someone who would betray his trust and honestly , if she ever did i don't even know how he would cope with that because it's just simply something he would never see coming. it's part of what makes her such an important person to him because in the present day he just can't trust new people the same way he trusts her. but in saying that ! i’ve taken off one point just because there’s still that small lingering fear that she might decide she doesn’t want him or to deal with his bullshit anymore.
