Fushimi Rokushin was deeply moved; he hadn't expected that his casual nonsense would actually be taken seriously by Taira Sakurako... If only it continued like this, no matter what he said, Sakurako would obediently comply, and wouldn't his status at home rise sharply?
Indeed, his first reaction was not to confess, but to think that there was great benefit in continuing to conceal it.
In normal times, Fushimi Roku wouldn't dare to even dream of the stars in the sky; he struggled just to get hold of the TV remote.
Before Fushimi Roku got poisoned, almost every evening they would fight over who got control of the TV remote.
Minamoto Tamako liked to reason things out, so she couldn't win against Fushimi Roku; but Taira Sakurako didn't care for reasoning and often sat in front of the TV pretending her autism was acting up, holding onto the remote and ignoring everyone, which was why Minamoto Tamako supported her going out to play alone.
