Never Not
Ch. 111: From Behind the Window

..."For you to come and go as you please, I just want to say that I want to hate you so much. You came at a time when I wanted to forget everything that had happened between us. On the other hand, you even flinch in your hiding when I dare to reveal my heart."...

...~Seina Matsumoto. 61~...

...----------------...

I guess without mentioning my name you'll soon find out who I am.

Rai wrote that sentence at the beginning of his letter. Spontaneously, Seina immediately looked back at the dried up Camelia flower and guessed the figure of the sender of the letter. Yes, the letter was sent by Rai when Seina was admitted to the Hospital, just before the death of Mr. Matsumoto.

I'm determined to write this letter to you, though I don't know if you'll believe what I'm about to say. It's about the abduction of the justice minister in the name of Black Shadow. You know, that's not the real me! I don't know what happened, I don't know myself. My channel was suddenly hacked and someone who resembled me appeared all of a sudden.

I know this is hard to believe, but it's a conspiracy to tarnish the name Black Shadow in the public eye. I don't know who did it, but my guess is related to the tenth target I've been aiming for all this time. All of this is beyond my power. You're the only one who met and came into direct contact with me. I hope you can recognize the difference between me and a fake person on my behalf.

From my deepest heart, I sincerely apologize to you, because the person on my behalf dragged your father as a victim and manipulated everything. If something worse happens in the future, can you still believe it? Not to me, but to the truth.

I also want to apologize for what happened between us. I'm sorry, I've been willing to instill feelings in your heart, but I can't repay them. I do not deserve the precious love from you. Let's just say our meeting was a mistake. Therefore, let's end by not seeing each other again! I'm sure there's a man who's more capable and worthy to stand by your side. And it wasn't me.

Rai ends the letter by drawing the illusion of camellia flowers and the date the letter was written. It turned out that the time the letter was given to her the day before her father's death.

Through the letter, Rai explained that his channel had been hacked so that he could no longer broadcast live. In other words, the last act that showed his father's captivity had nothing to do with him. He also tried to convince Seina that the abuser was not done by Black Shadow, but someone else on his behalf.

After reading the letter, Seina felt something stir in her heart. There is a feeling of relief as well as sadness. Relieved because it was missed has been prejudiced all this time. For four days confined to her room, she continued to curse herself for falling in love with the man who killed her father. It was not Black Shadow who killed his father. Even now he knows, it is precisely Black Shadow who was scapegoated as the mastermind of his father's death and made the man a national fugitive.

On the other hand, reading the letter made him sad. The man also said goodbye to her. Which means, their story ended just up there.

The sun will soon be drowning. This day, Shohei is busy seducing telematics experts to observe the authenticity of the last video of Black Shadow with his previous videos. Yes, to break people's guesses about the last action of Black Shadow, it takes a direct statement from the experts. This is to strengthen the article that will be published Kei. Unfortunately, the telematics expert refused to comply with his request. The police forensics team did not disclose their observations about the video.

Meanwhile, Kei is busy searching for the addresses of the families of the policemen who were victims of the bombing seventeen years ago. Yes, he wants to re-examine the case that also dragged Yuriko and Kazuya Toda's father. Just arriving in an area, he instead gets a call from the butler of the Matsumoto family.

"Moshi-moshi ...."

"Mr Ayano, Miss Matsumoto is holding a press conference now!" said the butler in a panicked voice.

Kei's eyes popped out instantly. He opened the television app and was surprised to see Seina's face being deliberately obscured. From his account, he could watch the broadcast of the conference was underway.

"For everyone, through this I as the representative of the Matsumoto family, would like to affirm some things regarding the death of my father, Matsumoto Hayato. First, I will not apologize for anything about everything that my father has accused me of. What was alleged to my father has not been proven at all!" firmly the girl in front of many media crew.

Seina's statement, which was broadcast live by several television stations, certainly invited a variety of reactions from the public. Most people consider him shameless. Because, it has become the culture of this country, if there is an official who stumbles on the case, then he or his representatives apologize in public directly and then resign. However, what Seina as a representative of her family, actually firmly refused to do that.

"Second ...." Seina reconnected her words that had made the reporters rowdy and impatiently throw questions. "I reject everything that the public accuses my father of. Through the jurisdiction of the Matsumoto family, I will prosecute any individual or group who disseminates false information on my family" he said, turning to the Matsumoto family law enforcement who stood beside him.

The reporters reacted again, but Seina remained indifferent to them and continued to speak.

"Last ... on behalf of the family left behind, I ask law enforcement to make the case of my father's death as clear as possible without anything being covered up. Including a thorough investigation of who is behind all this. I will fight this case!"

Seina swept her gaze across the reporters who were busy perpetuating her. He got off the podium, then walked out of the press conference room with his lawyers.

Hey, you .. I don't know how to help you with my father's murder. Even so, I put my trust in you.

Seina's statement in the media, not only in the public spotlight. Apparently, Kazuya Toda also watched the live show from his room.

"The girl is brave too" he said with a cynical smile.

Kazuya Toda was a little surprised. "Oh, is that it?" The smile framing the lips of the number one official in the police force gradually vanished.

Kei smiled faintly at the bold actions of his cousin's sister who appeared in public. Of course he supported everything Seina wanted to fight for. However, in contrast to Kei, it seemed that Shohei had other views towards the press conference. Seina's statement further made Shohei feel worried about Black Shadow. Honestly, he does not want his lover to hate and blame his creation for the death of Mr. Matsumoto.

"How do I tell Seina that Black Shadow is innocent?" shohei murmured while rubbing his hair back. Suddenly, a golden light shimmered in his eyeballs. He immediately took his phone and contacted Rai.

"I need your help!"

I don't feel like time has gone. The black sky is bright because the moon is showing itself in full form. In a pitch-black room, Seina begins to bravely seek information about her father's murder case. He is also not afraid to open a social media account.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his bedroom window. Seina frowned while looking at her window. In the dark room, he stood up and walked to his window. As he rolled up the room curtains, he was moved to look at a masked man standing right in front of him.

"Black Shadow!" he said he was surprised to see the masked man standing on the balcony of his room.

"Stt ...." The man placed his index finger as a signal for Seina to not make a sound.

Seina hurriedly opened her window. Black Shadow's hand stretched out into the room, picking up the paper and the ballpoint pen that was on the table located beside the window. He then wrote a message that Seina immediately read.

"I won't make a sound just in case this house has been tapped."

After reading the message, Seina nodded in understanding. Black Shadow again wrote a message on the paper.

"I just wanted to say that I didn't kill your father. I'm ...."

Seina immediately held the hand of Black Shadow, intercepting him forward the sentence that was about to be written. "You don't have to explain it anymore. I have read your letter. Sorry, I was wrong about you. But now, I will help you uncover who the real killer is," Seina said softly as she set her eyes on the man's eyeballs, "am I so stupid to feel happy and relieved to know you didn't kill my father?"

Black Shadow was in silence. Didn't answer Seina's question. Actually he was a little confused and rowdy. Moreover, the girl still continued to hold her hand.

"Regarding what has happened between us .. I appreciate all your decisions. I also realized that my feelings for you shouldn't exist because I already have someone. But, let me remember you .. keep neatly each of our sweet encounters in my mind as the most beautiful memories. , Please, remember me as the girl who was once infatuated with you," said Seina with a pair of misty eyes.

Black Shadow was still flinching. He tried to untie their hand, but Seina kept holding him back. The two pairs of eyes were streaming in the silence that enveloped them. Only the rustling sound of the night wind made the curtains beside Seina dance beautifully.

At this moment, Seina tiptoed to equalize the height of the man. A second later, he dropped his lips over the cold lips of the man. Suddenly, Black Shadow's eyes widened with countless shock.

Their lips were officially united in the darkness that only celebrated the full moon. It seemed like the window of the room had been meritorious to bring together those separated by the wall of space. That window will also bear witness to the last silent kiss he and Black Shadow had.

Seina kept her lips away from the man's lips while looking at him with teary eyes. "This is our last kiss. Sayonara ..." (goodbye)

Up to this moment, Black Shadow still did not utter a word. His face still looked shocked, between believing and not what Seina had just done to him. He turned slowly and then jumped from the balcony of Seina's room.

The masked man limped, dragging his steps heavily. All of the words that shot out from Seina's mouth flooded back into the man's brain tract. I don't know why, it feels so painful. Just below the sakura tree that had just bloomed, the man fell to his knees with the mask that had come loose from his face. His pitch-black eyes were gradually misty. Like a flower that falls in the spring, that is how it feels today. Destroyed in moments that should not.

"Maea ... Rai... What have you guys done behind my back?" he said softly with a glaring view.
