Summary
what if makoto edamura didn’t side with team confidence? what if he didn’t accept ozaki’s explanation? what if he didn’t go along with laurent’s grand scheme? what if laurent thierry faced the consequences of his actions and the loss of the only person who’s ever made him feel alive after dorothy?
or: makoto edamura if he actually betrayed team confidence during case 4.

Summary
laurent thierry has loved dorothy since the moment he'd laid eyes on her. how could he not? maybe that was why he found himself running into the idea of a life with her - just to keep her by his side, for one more moment.
he sees something else in edamame. behind his natural talent for the scheming and many masks they put on, his amateur improv, his insistence on staying out of every con laurent drags him into. he sees something soft; something genuine that reminds laurent of a long forgotten desire he can't quite place.
maybe that was why he was willing to wait, this time.
