my exact thoughts :/
I really thought it could've gone somewhere, like, we never got to know shit basically
why were the higher-ups acting like that? why would it be an issue if it was revealed that the ML was the fathers son? since we know how the dad died, MC being the witness + cause, ML wouldnt be suspected for murder
like,,, theres so many questions I had, but there was more porn than plot so...
even the fact that the ML is traumatized and the MC understood that was actually somewhat decent in the portrayal of an unhealed trauma victim but eh,, imma go eat some kiwi...
Yeah, seeing as this is an earlier work for this mangaka it kinda makes sense that it's so full of holes and doesn't really do much with the plot lol
It was just a fairly interesting plot that fell flat due to writer inexperience and probably time crunch since deadlines are brutal for mangaka.

After rereading this years later I have come to realize that this could have been a fairly decent story if the plot actually went somewhere.
There was a potential murder-mystery involving military power struggles and two characters seemingly tied together through fate and a semi-common goal.
This had the potential to be gut-wrenching and actually satisfying, but it just falls flat on its face within seconds. Even the reveal of who Shiohira is to the two protags was lackluster. I remember my first reaction, and it was literally just "ohhhhhh... ok." LOL
Idek. It's just disappointing.
