June 29th to June 31thst

Nino saw how the people started to get inside the court room. 99% of them were journalist.
Since the day Jun was put under custody, newspaper, magazines and TV had a feast. Half of news were a lie, but still, everyone was talking about it. Especially when every well known costumer that Jun had was visited by the police. Nino saw all that with pleasure, Jun too. Although the busted buyers tried to make it look like a lie, Jun had saved every single transaction, he even had videos and tapes. They wouldn’t be able to run away from this one.
Once everybody was on their seats, Jun was brought inside the room, escorted by two police officers and with handcuffs on his wrists. He smiled at Nino and sat next to him, nudging Nino’s shoulder with his. 
The doors of the room were closed, Jun looked around the room, wishing to see someone. But he didn’t see that someone. “She said it would be bad if she came here” Said Nino, reading Jun’s stare. He nodded and focused his stare on the judge, who was organizing his papers, ready to start. The accusers stated their charges, it took them one hour and a half to finish showing all the proofs. Finally the judge looked at Nino “Now the defense can state their records” Said the judge, taking of his glasses, picking up his pencil, ready to write “Thanks your highness, from the defense side, we accept all counts and my client declares himself guilty of charge…thank you” There was a long second of silence and then the entire room exploded in loud whispers.  The prosecutor, the judge and the jury were in shock. Nino and Jun kept still on their sits, Nino saw how his friend was fighting against the need of laugh, at least smile, so Nino hit his leg under the table, telling him to contain himself. The prosecutor stare at both of them in obvious annoyance. “Silence, silence everyone. The jury and I will take a recess, and we will resume in one hour” Everyone stood from their chairs, except for Nino and Jun “So this is it?” Jun asked to his friend “Now they will deliberate your sentence, so we have to wait, lets got for some coffee or water” Nino helped his friend to get up from his chair and followed him and the two polices to the waiting room.
They exchanged a couple of words, Nino was amazed of how Jun and the two polices talked in friendly terms. Jun didn’t ask anything, they had already talk about any possible scenario and he was ready for all of them. The hour passed fast, but not fast enough, at least for Nino. Say that his friend was guilty was the last thing he wanted to say, but it was the best option for Jun.
They were called back to the room, Nino got up with Jun, patted his shoulder and walked next to him. The prosecutor was sitting on his chair already, and the judge arrived a minute later. “The court was unable to asses to all the data presented by the demandant, but considering the defense argument, the court finds no reason to postpone the trial. Now I will continue to deliver the sentence. On June 29th of 2014, Matsumoto Jun is found guilty and is sentenced to 20 years in prison for the charges of drug trafficking, illegal sale of narcotics and blackmailing” The judge kept talking, saying technicalities, but not Nino or Jun were listening anymore.
Nino looked at Jun and hold his stare for a long while. They knew this would happen, but that didn’t make it easier.

Nino couldn’t close his eyes that night. He bid goodbye to Jun at 9, then went home, drank a bear and then laid in bed staring at the ceiling. Jun’s situation was sealed. 20 years. With the right to be eligible for a sentence reduction, after 5 years of confinement. If he behave well.
For now, his job was done.

Nino woke up with the sound of his phone. It was his assistant telling him to check out the newspaper, it had new information about Jun “New information? I know everything there is to know about the case”
“No, Ninomiya-san, there’s new information about him, about his family. Front page of today’s newspaper, Matsumoto’s parents killed by a police officer, and it’s a two pages spread on what the police did two hide it, how they passed over any intent of Matsumoto’s family to clear the issue, and how they made out evidence so it looked like an accident, fake records, fake autopsies” Nino got up from bed and ran outside his house to pick up the newspaper from the mailbox. And there it was. With big bold letters, and a picture of the judge that killed Jun’s parents, he never forgot that face. Nino sat at the entrance of his house and started reading.

“Who did this?” Asked Jun with his eyes wide open, holding the newspaper close to his face. "The writer talks about a source from inside the police. You know who could have done it?"
"Well, I known people inside the police but right now they are in the same position I am now and they didn't know about my parents...but wait, there’s someone who could have done this " Nino looked at Jun reading his mind. He went out of the room and dialed her number. "Yeah, I did it with the help of a colleague" Nino was speechless "I refuse to let that issue go without showing the truth, we found all the evidence and we are showed it. Jun was a victim of abuse of power by the police, and maybe he took vengeance, but I didn't. Now the memory of that judge is tainted by the truth"
"This is amazing" Miyako hummed something similar to a thank you "Ninomiya-san...how is Jun?" Nino smiled at the tone of her voice. Those two idiots, he thought "Calm, in three days he will be transferred to the Ueno prison complex…but he is very happy with this, I can tell you that much, you cleaned the memory of his parents" Her serious tone was back "I’m not going to say it’s the least I could do because is not, I can do more, but not just yet" Nino remained silence for a while, with a peaceful smile "No one suspects about you at work?"
"No, Matsumoto is a closed case, no one cares anymore"
"That’s very nice of them, then when are you going to be able to see him" Nino was left with the dial tone of the phone. She had hung up the phone.

Nino had already finish signing some papers regarding Jun’s case, and he was mentally tired, so to relax his head, he turned on the kitchen television and prepared himself a cup of ramen. The news were showing and the issue they were discussing was the same they started talking about yesterday. Matsumoto’s new truth.  "In Matsumoto-san we can clearly see a victim of this country’s dark and rotten high powers, people who believe they are superior. And what he did was respond to them, as saying, you screw me, I screw you, and that is what we need in society, a man who as no fear, who makes the high power pay" Nino turned off the TV with a big smile on his face. Since that newspaper saw the light, people started to see Jun as some kind of Robin Hood, a brave member of society taking what belongs to him. Nino didn't tell his friend about this new Jun fever, because Jun will feel quite annoyed. But he enjoyed how people stopped judging him.
Maybe that was one of Miyako’s goals too, clean her boyfriend’s name.

From July 1st to July 31st

July 1st
Ohno pulled Miyako in a tight hug when he saw her walk outside Aiba’s office. Miyako answered the hug and giggled against Ohno’s chest, feeling like a little girl. Ohno moved her away, and looked at her as if checking if all her part were intact. "Meanwhile I was in America I heard about Matsumoto’s case, congratulations" Miyako hid the slash of pain that went through her body "Thanks, it took a while but is finally over"
"You look different” "
“I feel different, I feel like I softened a little bit. I was so full of rage and so angry towards everything. I was cold and overly analyzer.  Now I feel...lighter." Ohno only smiled at her  " And that’s good?"
"Very good, you know how boss used to call it, superwoman complex, he always complained that I didn't take enough care of my life, that I was too open to be murdered? Well, now I’m not" Ohno walked next to her and grabbed her arm pulling her with him "Come on, let’s go talk with Sakurai-san, he has a new mission for us I think" Ohno was glad to hear her talk like that, he didn’t wonder why she had change.

July 15th to July 16th

Nino followed the indications that the GPS was giving him and with little problem he reached Miyako’s house. He called her telling he was already there and he saw her walking outside her apartment at the second floor. Nino waved at her and climbed the stairs in a hurry. Miyako hold the door open and followed him inside her house. Nino looked around feeling a bit weird. The house was almost empty, the kitchen was clean, but it lacked some decoration and the living room had only a couch and a TV. Miyako could read in his face what he was thinking “I come here only to sleep, I don’t need anything else"
"It's alright, I was just...surprised" Miyako invited him to sit at a small table in the kitchen and offered him something to drink. Nino waited for his coffee in silence. "Are you still mad with me Ninomiya-san?"
"Nah! I read the report you wrote. You went very easy on him and hard with the rest, thanks to that the sentence was less than I expected, I also heard that they asked you to testify against him"
"Yeah, the prosecutor asked me to. I told him to go fuck himself" Nino giggled, sipping from his mug. The prosecutor had told him that much.
Miyako prepared herself a coffee too and once it was ready, she sat in front of Nino, staring at him very seriously "So, what do you want to talk about" Miyako leaned across the table and started talking in a low voice "Next week I’m leaving to India in a new mission. I will be back in two months, in the mean time I need you to take care of this" Miyako passed him a key with a number graven on it "What is this?"
"Is the key of the deposit where I hid Jun's possessions. I couldn’t keep them with me here, it wasn’t save. The journals, books and some belongings are there" Nino nodded, grabbed the key and saved inside his wallet "There's another thing I need you to do for me" Miyako only continued once Nino had agree with helping her "Inside the deposit there's a box that says books, Inside there's a new copy of Doctor Jeckyl and Mister Hyde, I need you to give it to Jun"
"A book?" Miyako gave him one single nod. Nino was wondering If she will visit Jun before leaving, but that wasn’t on her plans apparently. "You are not going to visit him?"
“I can't do that yet, and don’t give me that look, I want to see him, I miss him so much, but I can't do that" Nino believed her, he couldn’t understand her, but he believed her.

Jun walked to the room arranged for visits followed by two guards. They kept a light conversation with him, telling Jun different things they heard about him in the news "Matsumoto, the general opinion is that you are a victim"
"Really?" both guards hummed their answers and opened the door for Jun.
His heart stopped for a second. This last 2 weeks he was constantly visited by Nino, and he knew that it will be the only visit he will get for a while.  But each time he leaved his room/cell, deeply inside he wished that this time the person waiting for him at the visit room was Miyako.
But it never was.
And today again, it wasn’t Miyako, it was Nino. “I met with your girlfriend" he said even before say hi. Jun didn't know what to say, so Nino told him what he wanted to hear. I visited her at her house. She wanted to give me the key of the storage where she keeps your things because she is leaving to India for a mission for two months" Jun looked a bit taken aback "She is leaving" Nino nodded and  gave him some more time. Jun stared at his hands and tried to dissipate the worry. He knew this will happen, but that didn't stop him from be bothered. Miyako had marks all over her body, that indicated that her job was far away from being safe.
But now he could do nothing to stop her. "What did she said?"
"She sends you this" Nino gave his friend the small copy of the Robert Louis Stevenson book. Jun didn't recognize it as his book, it was a new edition. He looked at the first page, hoping to find a short and stoic speech, but he found nothing. Not a single note. Swallowing the disappointment, he took the book and bid goodbye to Nino, ready to go to his room.

July 24th

The first three weeks at jail weren’t that bad. At least Jun thought so.
The days passed rather fast, and he always had something to do. Reading, help at the jail library or talk with other conscripts. He never got bored, which helped him to not think about what was happening, and the best, it helped him to not think about Miyako. Except at night, she will always pop in his mind at night and he will abuse his pillows until fall asleep.
After release a frustrated sight against his pillow, Jun looked around the room, searching for something, anything to do.  And resting on top of his desk it was the book Miyako had send him. It was a book Jun had read long ago, but still, if it could help him to fall asleep it was good enough.
Jun read the first page with little interest, he was about to close the book, but that was always the first feeling that came to his mind when reading. So he didn't give up and turned the page. When he read the first line, he could feel how his heart and soul leaved his body and left him there frozen. It wasn’t doctor Jeckyll anymore, it was Miyako.
- Jun, I'm very sorry to interrupt your reading, and I'm glad you made it to the second page. I know you have been waiting for my visit. But it can't happen yet.
On the other side, I know this is a bit over the top, hiding messages in books. But apparently, they are keeping a good eye on you. Someone is recording all your conversations with Nino and uploading them to a secret server at the police. And also, there's an strict order that all your mail has to go trough analysis. I don’t know the reasons why they are doing that.
     About your parents case. I started working on it when I read your journals. You state clearly that it was a murder, so I did some research. The post mortem exam is fake. They hired a fake forensic anthropologist, and made him go testify at court. He stated that your parents were drunk and driving at high-speed. I found the real inform in a mislabel box at a police station in Osaka. I don’t know how it end up there" Jun kept reading each line, taking his time, analyzing each word. Miyako explained him every single thing she did to find all the necessary proofs, he didn't want to miss a detail. "What you read in the newspaper was all we could find. No one was sentenced since the main culprit is already dead, but some people involved are currently under investigation, the police got two very strong blows in a very short time, so they are doing their best.

I went visit your parents grave some days ago, and it was full with incense, rice and cards wishing for the final rest of their souls. There was also a pretty nice picture of you in a frame, which I find rather amusing.
I asked a priest to do a cleaning of the grave and he also recited some sutras -

Jun turned around the page and cleaned the couple of tears running down his cheekbones.

-I’m sorry if the publishing of that news annoyed you. But I saw it as the best way to do it. And at the same time your sentence was decided. You can hate me all you want but I found it rather perfect. People didn't even have the time to judge you badly. They took sides with you.
Maybe you have more questions and I will answer them.
Nino must have told you about me leaving to India. And I know you must be worry, but this time I’m not going to be on the field, my partner will be. I'm in charge of the tactical part of the mission. I’ll be inside a trunk looking at videos and stuff. So please, don’t worry. I decided that I’m not going to risk my life anymore.
Now I treasure it -

Jun turned the page, willing to read the next page, but there was nothing. Just the continuation of the original book. No more Miyako.
He closed the book and hold it against his chest. He didn't have the opportunity to think about what he had just read.
He fall asleep immediately.
