MADDER Sono Jiken, Watashi ga Hannin desu EP08 “Page 8 June 9th [Mr. Kurokawa’s Memoir]”

In 2002, 23-year-old Kurokawa worked as an apprentice secretary for his father, Toshihisa, who was a politician. Fed up with a world full of political agendas, Kurokawa grew closer to Ryoko, the niece of the store manager, at the restaurant “Rindon,” the only place where he could find himself. A year later, when Toshihisa learns of their relationship, he investigates Ryoko’s background. He is adamantly opposed to the relationship, saying that Ryoko is unfit for his son. He also reveals that he took care of the pregnancy. When Ryoko learns of Kurokawa’s position, she says, “I will raise this child myself,” and disappears. Akane, who learned about Kurokawa’s past by reading the letter she took from “Rindon,” visits the restaurant again and asks the manager about something.
