Monocrow had a new motive idea, in addition to the Mikado videos: to reveal the secret of each of the participants in the massacre. Obviously, revealing everything at once wouldn't be fun, would it?

It was one secret per week. Clever. Creating tension, a fear of being next, a fear of the secret that will be revealed...

Syobai didn't care much. He had no secrets. Everyone knew he was the Ultimate Broker, so they suspected what crimes he must have been involved in. There really was nothing to hide.

When Monocrow announced that he would be the first whose secret would be revealed, it made him laugh, and he was even looking forward to seeing what would be said! His date of birth? The brand of his t-shirt? Please...

"Syobai Hashimoto is bisexual!" the bicolor crow had then announced. And he had to admit that he hadn't anticipated that.

His sexuality had never been taboo, certainly, but in the world he lived in, no one was truly trustworthy. It only took one person getting caught by the police for everyone else to fall... So he'd never had anyone he trusted to tell. He'd never even had male lovers, something which could have betrayed his attraction toward men.

So where did that fucking crow get this information?

He had no idea. And it haunted his mind as he smoked a cigarette on the Satsuki Land docks.
