Role in Game[]

Background Story[]

Since he can remember, Sakuya has always wanted to be a steward. His father is currently a steward at the influential WAN'S company, and Sakuya wants to follow in his footsteps. He worked hard in his studies and training to earn his steward gem.

When Sakuya was fifteen, he became famous. To hide his identity from the media, he wore a mask and called himself Lohengrin. Many people believed Lohengrin to be the legendary steward because of his mysterious appearance and punctual behavior. There were rumors that anyone who was with him would always win in the Miss Princess Contest. Sakuya proved these rumors to be true when he flawlessly escorted his partner to victory.

After the contest, Sakuya stopped being Lohengrin and got hired as one of Ayano's twenty stewards. He now acts as Sumire's secret weapon at the WAN'S company.

Story Events[]

Kokoro's participation in the contest fires a sharp hike of customers for her father's café, Zelkova Garden. Even with her four stewards pitching in to help and attract more customers, her father is worried that the workload is too overbearing for them between juggling their personal lives and Kokoro's lessons. He therefore issues a call for a part-time waiter. Ayano, who had been interested in Kokoro, orders Sakuya to apply for the position. His professionalism and politeness instantly wins the café owner's favor and he was hired immediately.

Sakuya initially mistakes Kokoro as a customer until her father identifies her for him. Realizing that she is the one Ayano asked him to serve, Sakuya swears temporary servitude to her and obeys any of her orders. During his breaks, he sends reports of Kokoro to Ayano. Despite being new to the café, he outperforms Kokoro's four stewards. Assured to know that her father is in good hands, Kokoro welcomes him warmly. She only learns his true identity when he attends to Ayano as her steward. He apologizes for keeping the truth from her, but Ayano insisted for his silence.

Despite being Ayano's steward during the contest, Sakuya continues to work part-time at Zelkova Garden throughout the game. Kokoro can seek his guidance for the contest, romance, or simply have a chat with him.

Personal Route[]

Shortly after he begins working at Zelkova Garden, Yoh learns that Sakuya is a steward for WAN'S. He storms into the café to demand an explanation from Sakuya. Kokoro happened to be present and is surprised to hear Sakuya swear secrecy on his master's behalf. Despite Yoh's suspicions, Kokoro chooses to believe in Sakuya's character. She respects his wishes to conceal his identity and looks forward to working together with him. He helps cater to their customers and suggests changes to the menu accommodate their requests. Kokoro's father even gives Sakuya a bonus for his efforts. The steward believes he is simply following his master's orders.

One day, after talking with Kokoro, Sakuya becomes curious about her and wants to learn more. Instead of answering her question, he explains the policy of WAN'S to her. He has been taught to keep his emotions separate from his work and only follow his master's orders. He believes that burdening his master with personal problems would be a failure as a steward. Sakuya starts to question this policy when he sees how friendly Kokoro is with the stewards from Butler Company. He wonders if he has the right to think for himself, but Kokoro dismisses this idea. She wants to connect with him as a person, not just because they work together. Sakuya realizes this when she takes care of him when he's sick, even though she's busy.

During their free time, Sakuya and Kokoro bond with each other. Sakuya starts to have feelings for her and even takes her on a date. He wants to be by her side even when she competes in the Miss Princess Contest. However, Sumire, who sees Kokoro as a threat to her daughter's success, gives Sakuya an ultimatum. She tells him to be Ayano's dance partner for the Grand Prix, and if Ayano loses, Sakuya will be blamed and lose his job as a steward. Sakuya is torn between his childhood dream and hurting Kokoro. He sadly confesses his thoughts to her. Kokoro encourages him to protect his dream and promises to support him in the contest.

Instilled with courage, Sakuya leaves the café to support Ayano's lessons. Although Kokoro shares his motivations, she feels lonely without him and forlornly accepts his departure. Her feelings emerge during an interview with her and Ayano. An interviewer asks for her dream and she tears up due to the question's wording. Kokoro's brief crying fit moves Sakuya to confess his intimate feelings for her during the Christmas Eve masquerade. The anonymity of the ball allows them to share a bittersweet dance together.

Kokoro perseveres in her lessons and prevails over Ayano in the Grand Prix. As her friends congratulate her, Sumire approaches Sakuya. The steward calmly accepts his loss and awaits the president's final judgment. Quite aware of his loyalty and fondness for Kokoro, Sumire coldly fires him from WAN'S. Before Kokoro can protest, she nulls her second condition regarding her daughter's loss. Rejoicing his freedom as an independent steward, Sakuya chooses to serve Kokoro. He is happy to be her lone steward after the contest's conclusion.

Character Symbolism[]

A blue rose, Sakuya's image flower, cannot be found in nature. It is a man-made construct that was traditionally done by dying white roses. The early hybrid roses to create the elusive blue rose resulted in mauve roses and could never obtain a true blue hue. Thus it commonly represented something which was impossible or unobtainable. Today, modern science can replicate the blue so its current meanings in the flower language are instead miracles or divine blessings. Its previous meanings in the flower language were adapted for black roses.

Sapphires are the gemstones for September. A blue sapphire is often affiliated with young lovers as a pure protective ward. It is fabled to have the power of faithful love and allegedly removes unfaithfulness between the two partners. Aside from preventing infidelity, blue sapphires have been believed to calm the wearer's anxieties to help them concentrate. Blue sapphires often represent destiny, sincerity, or good luck.
