That's why I wanted to protect my pianist mother.

To that end, I did whatever my mother said and acted like a wonderful daughter from a happy family...and pretended not to see what my father was doing the whole time.

I believed that if I was a good girl, everything would go back to how it was before.

That

was a foolish decision.

Until I saw the body of my dead mother after she shot herself in the head because her crazy husband kept wearing down her spirit again and again,

I had no idea.

Was the reason you became an assassin

so you could someday get revenge on your father?

If I was going to kill him, I would've done it sooner.

Ruka-chan,

there are two kinds of people in this world.
