A smile lifted the corners of his lips slightly. The more he thought of it, the less he could hold back his smile as his smile broadened. The only regret he had was not being the one who did.
Perhaps if he did it, he wouldn't be as happy as he was. Aiichiro had died too fast. He didn't suffer the way Haruki wanted him to. But he didn't feel that the vengeance he got was insufficient.
Rather such death brought him peace. The man who killed his aunt and grand aunt was dead. Shinya finally got his vengeance after a few years.
It brought him more peace and joy than he could imagine. This was different from Ren's death. Perhaps the relief he felt lay in the fact that Aiichiro's death was announced as a natural death. His body had become ashes and there was no way anyone could perform an autopsy to change his belief.
He had halted all his plans because of Aiichiro but he could finally focus on things that mattered.
