The instrumental version of Hikaru Utada's "First Love" played through my mind as I walked down the bullet train's aisle, a bit disoriented as I took my seat.

Playgirl, dumb, full of utter confusion, and fear.

The words people used to call me; to the point that self-doubt would encase my gentle personality.

I stared at my phone screen to the point that my mind had been too focused on a picture of the famous nineteen year old criminal Sakakibara Ruka, the son of the 1997 perpetrator; Mr. Sakakibara Seito.

The Toothpick Man.

News reports spread throughout the country; all about the supposed criminal that authorities believe to have been influenced by the 'wrong' friends, or so they say.

I actually knew this 'criminal'.

My best friend, Minato Yuya.

One acronym to describe him: S.B.C (Simple But Complex).
