25 The Bad Guy (1/2)

I started walking while wearing a gloomy expression on my face. My dad lied to me about mom being this amazing hero that people would be honored meeting.Maybe he was just trying to convince himself that the woman he married was the person he thought he was.He might've thought I couldn't handle the truth when I was younger.Maybe she was taken over by another entity like I was in the tournament.However, if that was the case then why didn't they have someone like Aizawa take to negate the possession.That is in the case that it was possession and not her turning into a traitor on her own free will.As I was making sense of what happened, another conversation was happening in another place.

Denki's Dad: You had no right to tell him about her.

Shinki: He had every right to know and besides I did it so you wouldn't have to.

Denki's Dad: He's not ready yet.

Shinki: You mean you're not ready yet.

Denki's Dad: Did you tell him everything?

Shinki: The important stuff.

Denki's Dad: Then about his mother's killer...

Shinki: No. Absolutely not.I don't want him having any ideas toward revenge against the person that killed her.Even though I avoided telling him about it, he will eventually find out the truth.Waiting will not make it better but worse in this case.However, it's out of my hands.

Denki's Dad:I should tell him but I'm too weak too.Not only that, I fear that her soul lives inside Denki now.He has been hiding it from me, but I can tell.He's been sneaking out at night, losing his sense of self, and forgetting things.There's a possibility that her soul is trying to take control of my son.I can't afford to crumple his will even further and give her the opportunity to get full control over his body.If that happens, then a repeat of that event will happen again.
