Aikawa Kaze had never underestimated humanity's potential. Everyone could grow.
Still, he had originally thought that, with Suguru Geto's stubborn, single-minded refusal to stop until he hit a wall, he would probably follow the original story and stage some grand spectacle designed to kill as many ordinary people as possible.
He had never expected Suguru Geto to actually set aside-or rather, conceal-his old ambition for the time being and raise a new banner of lofty ideals.

It was as though the Suguru Geto who had once shown him the way forward had returned.
As though they could trust Suguru Geto
