{ No matter how much time keeps us apart, we shall meet again }
The aroma of coffee and tea fills the place, with soft music creating a relaxing atmosphere. I would have enjoyed all of this if I wasn't sitting with this wretched woman.
• "The dessert is delicious! Here, try a bite."
"I still don't understand your previous question. What did you mean by that?"
• "The juice tastes good too. Why haven't I come here before?"
"Ten seconds... Speak, or you won't be returning home today."
• "Hmm... My question was clear... Do you want me to repeat it?"
"What's the point of that question?"
• "Your answer will determine whether I'll talk to you or not."
"... Fine. I will protect her."
• "What a chivalrous man. So, let's get down to our main topic."
"Quickly, then."
• "Have you heard about the incidents that occurred recently?"
"Do you mean the murders?"
• "Yes. What do you know about them?"
"Almost nothing. The reasons behind everything that's happening remain unknown."
• "So you believe that what happened wasn't done by humans?"
"Perhaps. What's the reason behind your question?"
• "I learned that something similar happened to Rena, but she wasn't harmed... How lucky she is... unlike her father."
"Who told you about what happened to her?"
• "She's the one who told me..."
[She's lying. I told Rena not to tell anyone about what happened to her.]
"I see..."
• "Anyway, an incident occurred involving my husband, but it wasn't supernatural..."
"What is it?"
• "In the past... he tried to visit Rena, but a clash broke out between him and one of your men. He was carrying a hidden camera to document what happened, but it seems it broke after that fight... But now, I've retrieved it from the repair shop, and I have the recording..."
"What is your goal with all of this?"
• "I want money... so that I don't publish it and cause you trouble."
"What kind of trouble, for instance? We did nothing but defend Rena. Besides, if our goal was to kill your husband back then, none of you would have found him afterward."
• "But what do you think if it gets edited to make your men look like they're attacking my husband for no reason? And what if news spreads that one of the city's judges sends his men to assault a man and his daughter... Even if the news isn't true, it will cause you problems at work."
"Believe me... you won't gain anything."
• "Who knows... maybe I'll continue provoking you after this."
"And what if one morning the neighbors find you dead with no evidence left behind?"
• "Then the rumors about you will become true."
"So... why wouldn't I kill you tonight?"
• "I asked an acquaintance of mine to leak everything related to the incident if anything happens to me, as a safeguard."
"How much do you want?"
• "5 million."
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
• "For an ordinary person, yes. But you make many times that amount. I want the sum in my account tomorrow."
"And how do I guarantee you won't change your word?"
• "Don't worry, I am a woman of principles."
[If the situation weren't so critical, I would have laughed at that sentence.]
"I'll see what I can do..."
° "Isn't that Kenjin? Well, hello there!"
"Nour?"
° "When we talked about coffee earlier, I felt like having some. Then I remembered you were here, so I stopped by to say hi."
"I see... Take a seat."
• "Who is this lady?"
"This is Nour, she works in the family law division. And the lady in front of you is Israa, an acquaintance of mine."
° "Nice to meet you."
• "The feeling is mutual, though I didn't feel the same way about the man with us."
"Don't hurt my feelings, Miss Principles."
• "I'll be leaving now. Let's talk later. Goodbye, Miss Nour."
[I hope we never talk again.]
° "Goodbye!"
She left the café, leaving only one thought in my mind...
[Damn all of this!]
