#I just feel really passionate about this line because it showcases saihara's development PERFECTLY

[quazikam]

HATE that I'm randomly remembering this post relating to shuichi's development because I feel like crying now

still can't fathom the people who say saihara had no development like the fuck? sorry but did you play the game

In chapter one, Saihara is weak- he relies heavily on Kaede and sticks with her for practically the whole chapter

In the trial, he is too scared to reveal the truth of the crime to everyone, fearful of condemning yet another person

the biggest point to mention here, though is that Saihara didn't try to stop her death. He's not strong enough to at this point

Kaito is furious, exclaiming to him that he *should* have done something, that she had BELIEVED in him, and that she had 'passed her wish' onto him, yet he did NOTHING to stop her death

let's just say saihara definitely took this to heart- (5 chapters later of growth and support thanks to kaito and look here)

this line-

THIS LINE DAMMIT

IT SHOWS HOW MUCH SAIHARA HAS GROWN

KAITO PUT HIS FAITH IN HIM AND HE'S MANAGED TO CHANGE HIM FOR THE BETTER
