It was a real doozy, the whole mess with Haruka. Atieno wondered why they would cut the detective from the show, but he decided to keep it to himself. He found the fact that the siblings were finally being compromised was a good move by the directors, definitely something that would give the audience something to worry about. The way Koya took the fall for his sister... it was truly a saddening scene, very well thought out.
It was almost too coincidental to him to find out that Kita Yasei was apparently his twin sister the day before the Nekodas were separated, and it was almost weird when it turned out that Yasei was also found dead not too long after the trial. It certainly was exciting though, and for the moment he wasn't sure if it was all just another plot twist for the viewers or if it was real. The trial came quickly after and, of course, Atieno stuck to his methods. Although he wasn't stellar at the whole trial deal, he tried his best to stick with everything. That is, until things turned for the worst and he found himself in a state of execution.
Cool! He always wanted to see how they pulled them off, after all! It was all rather exciting and there were no hard feelings. Except... He was pretty sure that he actually lost his right hand. And then the pain started and that was when he finally realized that maybe all of this was more serious than he first thought. And maybe Yasei really was his sister. And...
Maybe Yasei actually was dead. And he'd never have the chance to tell her that maybe they had a lot more in common than they thought they did.
It was certainly a challenge to get through the rest of the trial, he couldn't focus on much aside from the pain that was going through his entire right arm. Things were a blur until Aihara Rin confessed, and that was the last nail in the coffin. Family was important to him, no one could blame him for that. He just wanted to make sure that nothing happened to any of them. He just wanted to keep everyone's families safe.
"....But.... what about.... wha..t... about my family....?"
Atieno was not going to forgive Rin for killing, he didn't think he ever could, but there was no point in holding grudges. He simply wished that maybe it was him instead. Maybe things would've been better that way.
He found himself sitting alone, thinking about the past trial, the past few trials, the past few weeks, everything that had happened. It finally caught up to him just how jaded he was. He didn't even mourn people properly. He had no idea what to do, having to deal with the aftermath of everything all at once. His forehead rested against one of the pillars in the Mastermind's throne room, a very particular one. Cross legged, hand in his lap, he silently leaned against the pillar with his sister's image on it. His eyes were closed shut, deep in thought, his hand jittered, trying to find solace in the smooth texture of the ribbon on his boot. The rest of him was oddly still, oddly quiet, his cloaked silhouette was uncharacteristically closed off. After living through most of this game ignorant, he was hit hard, and now he didn't know what to do to fix it.
