Sadly Kaede, not only does the follow up not even come from Shuichi’s core values - rather, [a policy his uncle has], that he interpreted his own way - the ‘destined to be a detective’ is troubling considering he was [led into this position]. Not to mention reaching out your hand isn’t a guarantee that the person will trust you, either. Saying it that way, is like an expectation for the person to trust you.
If you reached out your hand, what do they stand to gain from grasping it?
What if they ended up losing more than they gained?
