[Koji's right to take her side even if he's doing it for basic reasons. Veronica was in the right here and she knew that. They'd been getting into drugs, going back to roots that she didn't realize were her own, or at least the ones that helped bring her into the world. All Veronica could do was leave, and tip off the police as she went.]

Pretty much. I spoke with him a bit and I asked a lot of questions but to be honest I got the sense that it wasn't really much of a choice to begin with.

[That the timing had worked out was mere coincidence, Masaomi and everyone involved beyond Veronica's understanding had an opportunity and they had seized it, apparently.] It's alright, though, I really like him and Mrs. Kida. I hope I can make them proud.
