Mira's expression was far from sadness.
She looked happy. Her eyes, which had seemed lifeless for so long, were now shining as though she had finally found hope.
The corners of her mouth kept lifting into a smile she couldn't suppress, making it almost look as if she had been the one who killed him herself.
But according to the police, her father had died in an accident.
He had been struck by a truck.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Yoshida's condition was too severe for visual identification," one of the officers explained.
"We were only able to confirm his identity through the ID card found on him."
"We are very sorry for your loss."
That was all.
The officers left without mentioning the possibility that her father might have been murdered, leaving Ayaka staring blankly at the doorway long after they were gone.
Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed onto the floor.
How could her Father die just like that?
