Moroboshi Dai.
Finally the confused emotions - mostly negative ones - that the mysterious universitary student Kudo'd brought in made her feel made sense.
Her sister's boyfriend, Moroboshi Dai; better, Akai Shuichi, the FBI's agent who had used Akemi for his mission.
A mission whose fail meant death for the girl.
He wasn't only alive, he also had entered her life with a false identity, again.
Tears of anger and frustration went down Shiho's face.
She wasn't angry for the agent's role in Akemi's death, she realised. She couldn't really make it his fault.
No, what hurt her was she'd been tricked all that time... again.
Not just by the agent, also by the person she'd chosen to trust, the only one in the same situation as her.
Shinichi Kudo.
He did that every time he discovered something. "Doctor, don't tell that to that girl, I don't want to make her worry."
Every single time, unless he needed informations only she could give him.
This time he'd even hidden Dai - she had known him so, so it was natural to call him -, and this despite knowing his presence disturbed her. You would've"protected" me more telling me the truth, she angrily thought.
We lie to children, or keep them in the dark, if we think they're not ready to face specific situations.
I, though, despite my looks telling the opposite, am not a child.
I've had enough of being treated as if I were from the only one who knows I'm not.
