A park late at night.
Two friends were standing face-to-face, apparently fighting over the same girl.
…Huh?
Was this actually a romance novel?
I suddenly felt a pang of self-doubt as I wondered what the hell I was doing.
Seriously, how had things come to this?
But then I remembered this bastard's behavior in the original story.
He wouldn't listen to reason unless someone gave him a serious shock.
Ryan was an idiot with an overly righteous personality. He had a habit of making simple matters unnecessarily complicated, especially when he convinced himself he was doing the right thing.
So, unfortunately, a little shock therapy seemed necessary.
"…Did Nora tell you?"
"Think whatever you want."
"So, she didn't?"
Ryan gave a small, wry smile.
"Well, I suppose that's not particularly surprising. You've always had a knack for knowing things other people don't."
Why is he so sharp about this?
I hadn't expected him to figure out that much.
