He too has some dark secrets (in the anime, although hinted at in the manga).     ~!Sasame later is revealed to only want to help Himeno and her being Pretear, to just use her to get  what he wanted. Which was in fact due to his hidden unrequited love for Takako, to become her Knight of Darkness.  Pitting him against the Leafe Knights and the Pr&eacute;tear.    In the manga: He did indeed love Himeno, but about the love triangle, he did not want to go against Hayate. So he said that he only wanted Himeno to see him as a &quot;big brother&quot; from that moment on.     There was strong hints that he was in love with Takako in the manga as well, but became angry when she ignored him for Hayate (shown in his conversation with Kei toward the end of the manga).!~
