Summary
The weight of Kanou's wishes is a heavy thing, but there's no way in hell Haruki's letting go.
Good to know that some things never change. The showman’s cadence of his voice, pitched to project, for one: the misdirection of a stage magician, all smoke and mirrors. It’s his way of distracting Haruki from the secondhand smoke of deadly secrets, a saccharine smile stretched wide over Kanou’s face.
Even though Haruki could easily cut through the sheer fabric of Kanou’s flimsy deflections — the bold transparency of his bare-faced lies — well. All Haruki could say was this: I’ll let you keep your secrets, if you’ll let me keep mine.
