Chapter 22
Jamie has a strong intuition. In his past life, success wasn't just about being smart; you needed luck and good instincts too.
The first time he meets Hanako and walks into the club, Jamie feels something is off. His brother is sharp—he should have noticed too—that this girl is manipulative.
Jamie lets her know he can speak Japanese. Whatever her plans were, they might be delayed now. But he still doesn't get why she was hiding something so obvious.
Playing dumb is Jamie's defense in situations like this. He has a plan to move forward and live his life, but dying pointlessly isn't part of it. Kim Jamie won't die without a fight.
His brother abandoning him in this mess caught Jamie off guard. He knows they don't care about him. He realized that on the first day he woke up in this world. Trusting them feels like a mistake, and the shame makes him sick.
