## Long Summary

Tsuruoka arrives in front of Rin’s cell. He asks her how she feels, having lost the ability to use her talent. Nanao asks Tsuruoka if his ultimate goal is to remove talents from people. Taking away the rights of the talented three years ago made it easier to perform experiments on them. Tsuruoka thinks that Nanao is upset since his cells are being used to produce new medicines. For now, the medicine’s effects are temporary, so it has to be given regularly to remove talents. Tsuruoka tells Nanao that more often than not, talents cause misfortune.

Rin remembers her past. Kyouya discovered at the office of talented individuals that he was immortal. His appearance stayed the same for two years. Kyouya asked his sister to go to bed after he won a game. He believed she had a fever. Due to congenital heart disease, she caught colds easily, was often short of breath, and experienced dizziness. Rin even collapsed from arrhythmia sometimes.

She was jealous of her brother’s immortality. On top of that, Rin thought Kyouya’s tastes became weird. On her 15th birthday, Kyouya had given her a teacup he’s gotten from attending a famous tea gathering for elders. The Onodera father still wasn’t home. They later learned that he had gotten into an accident on his way home. Their mother was already dead a long time ago.

This made Rin cry for a while. Kyouya hadn’t shed a single tear. He asked his sister to not die. It was at this moment that Rin became aware of her brother’s immortality. He’d have to bury her alone. Due to their parents’ deaths and their relatives not helping them, the Onodera siblings became impoverished. Kyouya worked to cover their living expenses. Rin believed she was a burden on him.

While talking to a friend near the school, Rin fell down, feeling dizzy. She insisted on her friend not calling her brother. Rin hated bothering her sibling. It made her sad to learn that Kyouya quit college.

Wanting to become a private detective, Kyouya asked Rin to become his assistant so she could poke holes in his reasoning. Rin, angry, reminded him that the police didn’t conduct a proper investigation after their mother’s death. She was talented. A lot of talented people died suspiciously in this country. Sending them to the island was a shady practice.

Kyouya had declared that he’d solve that mystery. Rin thought that the money and she were what held back Kyouya. She says that she’ll quit school to get a job. Her brother responds that with her condition, it’d be difficult for Rin to work. He then hugged her. Kyouya told Rin to keep going to school and make more friends. Kyouya believed that trying to become a police officer was a mistake. He told Rin that their mother’s case was indeed his dream. Kyouya frequently forgot things. Rin thought he was making jokes. However, Kyouya suddenly made the decision to begin keeping a journal.
