[unblocks you] bitch

It’s inevitable that she and Akechi-kun will meet, though it’s delayed on account of both of them being incredibly busy. She admits to herself that she’s being overly moralistic; she obviously cannot fathom what he has gone through, but she knows what her father died trying to protect: a sense of justice, a sense that those who hurt others should be punished.
Akechi-kun hurt Haru-san. Haru-san is her friend, and even if she weren’t, she had done nothing to deserve her fate.
But Ann -- sweet, kind, forgiving, compassionate Ann -- has asked her to speak with him, so she’ll allow him that. No, that’s not the correct phrasing; she hears his condescending response the moment the thought flows through her head. You’ll allow me your time? How charitable.
She continues to make excuses, but inevitably, it is work that forces them together. She’s assisting in the lab, trying to piece together what has happened in a case with a dead body and no other visible signs. She can’t help but wonder if the cause was a mysterious “heart attack” orchestrated by a certain boy detective.
Said detective is apparently on this case, which does not surprise her considering the high profile nature of the mystery. She senses him ambling over after concluding a conversation with a lab tech. “Hello, Akechi-kun,” she says without glancing up from the toxicology report she’s reviewing. “Is there something you need?”
