Episode #75 - Kobayakawa's Death and Morgana Leaves

A nice way to come back to Japan after going four days to Hawaii in a different state and to get out of the country for a school trip was fun to do. As Keiko, Ryuji, Ann, Makoto, Yuuki, Kawa, a third-year rich student girl, and Junko had some fun to have Yusuke 'by luck' same with Hifumi a little to be tagging along and Akechi 'to be doing his convention there' they all had a good time with everyone else. From dancing, beach time, buying things to bring home, eating, swimming, hearing others talking about the Phantom Thieves a lot, and for Keiko and Akechi to have their love grow stronger to finally be doing it...To also use protection when having sex 'always' to make their night a good one. For her to be resting up on what Futaba had to tell the others and Morgana about it tomorrow to have a break from school to get plenty of sleep for now. Returning to Makoto's home to see her sister Sae, she returned from work to talk to her about the school trip and how it was. While studying for a bit, Sae tells Makoto the bad news.

Makoto: Hey, Sis.

Sae: You just got back from your trip and you're already studying? How diligent.

Makoto: I have souvenirs for you.

From a touching moment, it soon turns dark for Sae to tell Makoto the bad news about Koba being killed.

Sae: ...The principal of Shujin Academy has passed away.

Makoto: What!?!

Hearing this to Makoto's surprise, it wasn't good news at all. I didn't like him, but he didn't have to die like this to be turned to the police instead.

Sae: He suddenly stopped while crossing the road and was struck by a large vehicle. Death by external trauma. They say suicide seems to be a strong possibility...

Or so Sae and the other police think so.

Makoto: Principal Kobayakawa committed suicide...!?

Sae: But would someone about to kill themselves try to go to the police station? He even used a taxi to get there.

Makoto: Do you mean...this might be another incident?

Sae: Even if he had a sudden shift in his state of mind...it's still unnatural. I can only suspect that he had a "change of heart."

Now that part was all bull! The Phantom Thieves would never do such a thing to be gone overseas, there was just no way.

Makoto: Are you saying he was targeted by the Phantom Thieves!? But that's impossible...!

Sae: How are you so certain?

Makoto: W-Well...In prior cases, the changes of heart seemed to be done to make people confess their crimes. It's hard to explain, but this incident seems contradictory to their usual modus operandi...

Not that she knows of since Makoto stopped working for Koba once she joined the group.

Sae: Did Principal Kobayakawa seem any different to you lately?

Makoto: I don't really know. He rarely contacted the students, after all...

Sae: I see...Could something have happened during the school trip...? Ah, you're studying. I'm sorry to bother you.

Makoto: But--!

She was about to leave to say one more thing to Makoto next.

Sae: Makoto.

Makoto: Hm?

Sae: ...Never mind. It's nothing. Just don't get dragged into trouble, OK?

As Sae left the room to get cleaned up, Makoto didn't like the news at all to tell the others about it first thing in the morning.
