Right after the incident, Yuina and Ryuu were escorted to the central police station. They were under heavy surveillance to avoid the media from getting to them.
Once again, Ryuu's brokerage company worked tirelessly to minimize the impact of Ueda Asahi's death.
Even after a few days had passed, the public hadn't stopped talking about it.
"Didn't you read it? That kidnapper swallowed a cyanide pill before he jumped?"
"What? That's so crazy! He was more willing to die than to be caught by the police?"
