When she heard the whole speech from a person whom she considered to be a brother and a friend, it was humiliating. Crystal clutched her drink as she watched James's speech on TV. A politician, huh? Crystal can't help but laugh bitterly, resting her head wearily on her palm. She remembers from her youth how red-haired James played guitar, adored music, and dreamed of performing on stage. Her father always stood nearby, his eyes closed, listening. It's been like this since childhood. And now what?

Her father is dead. Of course, Crystal understood that her father was never a good man, and even as a father he was... Just neutral. Nobody's a good parent, right? She knew her father cared, but... Sometimes he pushed too hard. But she gave him a proper burial. He was a father who, despite having only one hand, worked to provide for her. But apparently Crystal didn't notice how he was putting pressure on James. Perhaps Charles deliberately shielded her from all criminal activity. Perhaps James himself never explained why his hands were shaking after a fight with some city king. And what should she tell her? Her father's assets are not with her, James is going into politics, and the only man who never lied to her is in prison.By the way, she misses her bodyguard. Honestly, she didn't want to go to school on behalf of her second body. As much as she didn't understand the boys' actions against their father, sitting next to them already felt wrong. Maybe she just wanted to distance herself for now.

Your head slid toward the living room. While Crystal had moved away from prying eyes and disappeared, you, being her best friend, were nearby.I know you much better than others from school.You even know her secret about her second body.That day you spent the night at her house. "Look, hypocrisy in all its glory." Crystal speaks up, placing her glass on the table next to the TV. "So... It's annoying." The girl put her palms on her face. You placed your hand on her shoulder. It was hard to see how the man you'd trusted since childhood was starting to resemble the one he despised—her father. Do you think... Will Crystal want to intervene? After all, James greatly underestimated her. And she is her father's daughter...
