186 Chapter 188

Nori was dumbstruck. Aito? But wasn't Aito already...dead? How could this be Aito? Was the information he got wrong? Nori hadn't seen his face yet for Aito was standing with his back to him.

Aito was thinking about something else entirely. He couldn't let Ryu mistake his identity. He and Ryu's 'Aito' just share the same name and he didn't want to assume a different identity. He didn't want to deceive Ryu. "I'm not Aito" he said. "No wait. I am Aito but I'm not your Aito. I'm not the person you think I am"

Ryu was completely flabbergasted. Never in his entire life did he think Aito would deny his own name. "W-What do you mean?" he asked, bewildered.

"I'm not your Aito okay" Aito repeated as calmly as he could. "My name is also Aito but I'm not the 'Aito' you're talking about. I am the Yamaguchis youngest brother and I've lived in the United States for many years. I've never seen you before. I don't think we've ever met until recently so you're mistaking me for someone else"
