Himekawa elaborates that Seijuro was a relatively obscure actor linked with various acclaimed celebrities. Aqua is taken aback to find that the person he sought vengeance against over Ai’s murder has already died. Despite the dark history, Himekawa finds joy in the fact that he has a half-brother.
Returning home the next morning, Aqua faces Ruby’s wrath for being out all night. He explains that he spent the night at Himekawa’s place and promises to introduce Ruby to him.
