"If you were completely clean, then I wouldn't have gone so far. The case Ru investigated before the accident; your group was part of it."
At those words, Rick looked away. "It's not what you're thinking. I didn't approve that drug."
"But you admit your group distributed it? You admit that you didn't do anything to stop it despite finding out." Sumire trailed off. "That is equally just as bad."
It happened very quickly. There was a subordinate near Rick who had been standing close. Yuhi simply thought he was the personal bodyguard, so he didn't think much of it. That was until he realized that the man was staring at Sumire with a dark gaze.
When Sumire first told him about coming here, he canceled his prior plans. Normally she would have lectured him for canceling his work because of him. But she didn't this time; she agreed right away.
Yuhi thought there would be something special about today's deal. But there was no such thing.
