"Then…" Kinoshita Iori stares hard at Adachi Kase. "Can you tell me what happened that day?"
Adachi Kase observes her for a moment. She seems close to Kamiyama Takeshi. He looks down at his coffee, wondering if it is truly a good idea to reveal everything. Nothing can undo words once they leave one's mouth.
But he hasn't been able to have a proper sleep after seeing the pictures of the victims' grieving family. Kinoshita Iori didn't contact him after that day. He's been waiting while thinking whether he should do it or not. Going to work has been displeasing. Even using the money that he received for keeping quiet has felt burdensome.
At first, he only wanted to save himself. Then, the guilt started to gnaw on his heart and conscience.
When Kamiyama Takeshi called him, he finally found himself being able to breathe. He didn't even know that he felt heavy because of the guilt.
