Li Syaoran of CardCaptor Sakura heads this music video. Here, we have portrayed Syaoran as a frigid and unfeeling character. He does not care about anyone or anything and likes to do things his way, even if it hurts the feelings of the person next to him in battle: Sakura. He will not become emotional or compassionate—everything that he thinks Sakura is.
He believes to feel and allow Sakura to break through this barrier of his is to be weak and vulnerable. It is not a position he wishes to be in and therefore keeps an internal alarm that alerts him to leave when he feels he is reaching levels he considers a threat to this image he feels so comfortable with.
But the truth is the threat is not within Sakura, but within him. The side that he is very much unconscious of, the side that shows care, automatically surfaces. When it does, he tries very hard to fight it. We find him switching between the two sides as he tries to regain control over himself.
Eventually, he begins to lose his ground as a part of his brusqueness is whisked away, allowing the caring side to come out almost naturally. He begins to drop his defenses against her, but still very much fighting it. Syaoran continues to fight it until he cannot deny it anymore when he realises that he isn't so unfeeling after all. He knows he can no longer keep up this act, finally giving in to the tiring work of fighting it and accepts his newfound feelings.
