Dutt Rivera took a liking to Cheryl Suweton at first sight.
It could be said that Haruda Tomoko was quite beautiful and had a lot of charm.
Otherwise, Dutt wouldn't have pursued her in university—Dutt, a prince of a princely state whose ancestors had long been a part of India, could be considered from an illustrious family there. In terms of reputation, heritage, and genetics, he was quite remarkable.
Going to Waseda University was partly about spending money, and partly about making friends.
Normally, elite Indian youth who study abroad would head to Europe and America, after all, in their upper-class society, those places were considered the standard.
But Dutt chose Waseda University because firstly, his house had business collaborations with companies in Japan and secondly, it was just about spending money and not necessarily about learning anything, so off to Waseda University he went.
