[quote=MULTI_MEDIA_MAN] Alli is already there. Towards the bottom. Also, Jacob did his research when he heard that the daughter of a Japanese politician is coming to his school. He knows enough about the world to be wary of politicians and their families. [/quote] Hmmm... True, there's bad rumors about the lovely father. But none about Yuki specifically!

[quote=Sixsmith] He weighed his options."Lifelong happiness doing what you love, find a love I would die for, and be able to say I lived the best life I possibly could when I die? Or become the jaded, non-feeling corporate body that my father was. Get married, have a lot of children. Be disappointed in all of them because they can't live up to faulty expectations. Not even care about the person he married. And die unhappily with no heir to take over the family business?"I think it's obvious what he favored more over the other.
