The bad personality is another issue but, the part when he doesn't know if its just him liking the uke and prioritizing him as a friend or if its some kind of form of affection? i myself got into heavy trouble like that and people interpreted it as stupidity or asshole behavior just like the uke did... i dont know how to put it into words... i wonder if someone else relates as well?
