Curate, connect, and discover
here me out, these two are related to each other:
i obviously didn't think much on it. i had just thought she was an inspector trying to expose and take down shindo ainosuke for all the fishy political business he's done. hell, she even took down and exposed mr. takano and this leaves shindo (adam) in a tight spot.
but what gets me is when she's in the car and the boss congratulates her on a job well done. that the job is done, but it isn't for her. the boss is confused and says, "huh?" as if to say, what more is there to do? and then comes this line:
what exactly is this "justice" she may be talking about? right when she said that sentence, my mind immediately went back to reki's old friend. it clicked in me and i realized that the two are related. i will go down with this theory even if it's wrong. perhaps the boy is his son, or sibling, or even nephew. who knows.
what i do know is that it makes sense for kiriko to believe the job isn't finished, because it isn't. she wants justice for what adam did to him, to make him pay and get the consequences. because, if my theory is true, how the hell are you going to explain the broken neck and possibly broke leg (and other injuries).
she wants to kill two birds with one stone, or in this case, take shindo ainosuke down legally for both his shady business actions and injuring people/underaged kids since she can't take him down as adam through skateboarding.
my hope is that, if my theory is true, that reki recognizes kiriko (or vice versa) if they ever meet and they talk and catch up. about how his friend is doing. how reki is doing. and what she plans to do with adam. and maybe she'll be the key to allowing reki to seeing his friend.
