One time when I went out drinking with Jigoku and some colleagues, Susato and Kazuma were waiting for me in the living room with the lights dimmed, waiting. I’ve never felt more afraid in my life.
@Mikotoba_Yuujin ( She quickly raises the handkerchief to her eyes when her lips wobble again. )
I... ( It feels wrong to tell her father. ) ... I've forgiven you already...
@harelocked ( She's done it, it's almost a certainty. A bit disappointing to be seeing a sincere reaction overshadowed by how much she worries Sholmes got offended by her prying. )
( She's quick to bow in apology. ) I'm truly sorry, sir! I should have known it was in fact a delicate matter.
@Mikotoba_Yuujin ( They might... but it's the reason why she couldn't keep the tears in anymore at first, when her father apologized. )
There are no more secrets... ( Quietly, because she must say it, ) You won't lie again. You have no reason to anymore.
