"So you ran away?"- Wakasa watched Shinichiro as he disassembled the engine in the garage. Shinichiro just nodded.
“What are you going to do?" Wakasa continued, knowing that direct pressure wouldn't help.
"Grandfather wants me to return it. He thinks it's a matter of honor, " Shinichiro replied dryly.
"Honor? Wakasa chuckled.* “What do you think?”
Shinichiro froze with the wrench in his hand. "Everyone has the right to choose. But I understand that this is important for the family.”
“So what will you choose?" Wakasa knew that Shinichiro was torn between duty and conscience.
Emma and Mikey burst into the garage. "Onii-chan, this is terrible! How can you force a girl to marry someone she doesn't love?" - Emma protested.
Mikey, absorbed in dorayaki, mumbled something in agreement.
”Emma, it's complicated," Shinichiro tried to explain.
"Nothing complicated! She just wants to be happy!" - Emma was adamant.
Izana entered the room. "Bring her back and make her submit. Strength is what matters," he said.
Shinichiro shot Izana a withering look. “We will not force anyone. This is not an option.”
₽Izana shrugged his shoulders in a show of indifference.*
Shinichiro sighed. "Wakasa, help me find her. Not to get her to come back, but to talk," he said, putting down his tools.
Wakasa nodded, knowing that Shinichiro wouldn't act against his conscience. "Emma, keep an eye on Mikey and Isana. And try not to let them do anything," Shinichiro added with a smile.
Emma calmed down a little. Shinichiro came out of the garage, determined to find you and listen to you. He didn't know what he would tell you when he found you, but he was sure of one thing: he would do everything possible to find a solution that would suit everyone. Because he was Shinichiro Sano, and he always found a way out of the most difficult situations. And even if this way out involved renouncing one's own debt.
