When August threw the question back at her, Blue suddenly remembered that Giovanni had once been recognized within the League as a well-known “nice guy.”
Both were Gym Trainers, both had seemingly kind personalities—and if August’s words were true, they were both leaders of evil organizations…

Nagasaki Soyo felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. With her entire head covered by the blanket, her vision was nearly pitch black. Yet, the faint glow of the room’s lighting managed to seep through tiny gaps, casting a dim light into this cramped space.

As soon as Soyo walked into Chihiro’s house, she was met with a pile of unopened delivery boxes of various sizes stacked near the entrance. It was almost as if they were deliberately left untouched, just waiting for her to come over and ask about them.

It was an incredibly difficult problem.

Nagasaki Soyo stared at Chihiro with a blank expression.
Sometimes, she felt like she couldn’t keep being so weak—at least, not when facing her.
It was as if she had to put up a fight, even just a little. Otherwise, if she kept letting Chihiro have her way, there would never be a day when she could hold her head high again.
