"Mr. Honma, please rest assured. We will definitely uncover the truth of what happened."
"We absolutely won't let your case end up unresolved like the one involving your son back then."
Sato Miwako watched Honma Kyota. After noticing the slight panic in his expression, she spoke calmly, her words carrying a deeper meaning.
Honma Kyota froze.
