Itsuki-kun has been here a long time. He has rapport with others despite himself, and he is the one who hates me the most, and overestimates the depths of my depravity, as well as the strength of my influence.

Taking on the leadership role is as much to soothe my battered ego as it is to protect the unit. If someone on our unit does something bad, it should be easy with my reputation to blame it on me and me alone, even if I had no direct hand in it.
