Happy with the confirmation with the questions I was pondering in regards to Kamiki with the earlier panel in, i think 154,where his “black eyes” were ablaze showing he was putting in a “star” level performance selling and even convincing people (and judging by what I have seen been said about him before this point) of his lies.
Edit: looking at manga pages around 154 again, kamiki lost his “light” during the affair with the married woman and has been down the path of darkness ever since.
So glad to see lessons being learned from last time. And, who better to play a believable Ruby in a sting operation than Detective Akane? Finally, I am really glad that we are not done with the Hikaru storyline. If the revenge plot ended here, then it would have been mightily unsatisfying.
Liar liar pants on fire
