Ha! And what else? I could have trusted you? A group of strangers who hated me so much I had to blackmail my way into their team? Your little group of teenagers was going to protect me from Shido? That was a leash I wore since I was 15, Okumura. I lived my life knowing he could strangle me with it any time he wanted to.
I'm not proud of the way we handled things. I'm sorry that we didn't think to protect you from the real evil of that situation!
[Haru, even when she is trying to make a point is soft-hearted to a fault. She knows what is done is done. But she regrets that there are things in that situation that can't be changed.]
Even if we don't see eye to eye, and we probably never will. You never deserved the hand you were dealt.
Do what you have to. But try not to fall in with the wrong people.
[Haru didn't realize it until a few moments after looking away from her communicator that her eyelashes were wet. Why, why did Akechi Goro's words have this effect on her?

I made my choices. I knew what I was doing.

[A bold statement, but, Haru is tired of being silent on how she feels. She's so tired of always keeping her thoughts to herself.]
Are you going to distance yourself?

It may surprise you to learn that I didn't plan this far ahead.
I will do whatever I have to.
