Oushi is Yuki's childhood friend. He's fluent in sign language—he actually learned it specifically for her, which says a lot about how much he cares. The thing is, he's in love with Yuki himself, so he's naturally worried about her relationship with Itsuomi. Fans often note the tension this creates between him wanting what's best for her and what he actually wants for himself.
