Expected Plot and Synopsis
Chapter 154 is poised to further explore Hikaru's flashback before transitioning to Aqua confronting Hikaru about his interpretation of the movie and its portrayal of events. Aqua will likely argue that the film holds fundamental truths that Hikaru has chosen to overlook, while revealing a lie that Ai had been concealing from him.
This undisclosed truth about Ai's sentiments and motives in the 15-Year-Lie movie will likely challenge Hikaru's perception of his relationship with Ai, compelling him to confront the reality of his actions and their repercussions on Aqua and those around him.
Recap of Chapter 153: Confrontation and Unraveling
In the preceding Chapter 153, titled Fiction, Aqua confronts his father, Hikaru, presenting his gathered evidence and reiterating his desire for revenge. Surprisingly, Hikaru responds with composure, acknowledging Aqua's efforts and the movie's overall accuracy and execution.
However, he dismisses the film as mere fiction, claiming that it contains fabrications and exaggerations while omitting inconvenient truths. This prompts Aqua to question Hikaru's reasoning. Hikaru explains that the movie portrays his relationship with Ai as mutual and appropriate for their age, but this depiction significantly deviates from reality.
Their relationship was one-sided; Ai never reciprocated his feelings but was unable to reject him outright. Hikaru, unable to accept being rejected, committed a heinous act against Ai out of spite. Their love affair, he claims, was unremarkable and ordinary. Hikaru acknowledges that he will face severe social repercussions, fulfilling Aqua's desire for revenge. He accepts this outcome if it aligns with Ai's wishes. Hikaru expresses gratitude to Aqua for the conversation and moves towards the door.
Before Hikaru departs, Aqua questions if he truly understands Ai's wishes and the lie mentioned in the movie, asserting that the film is not fiction.
Hikaru's memories flood back to the funeral of Airi Himekawa and Seijuro Uehara, where Kindaichi urged him to bear their burdens and continue living. These words seemed to haunt young Hikaru, leading him to seek solace in Ai. At that time, he believed that everyone desired him solely for his appearance and that he had to offer his body to be loved. Ai's acceptance and love gave him the strength to carry this burden. Chapter 153 concludes as Hikaru's entire worldview abruptly crumbles when Ai informs him that they should discontinue their relationship.
The Unfolding Truth and Aqua's Revenge
As the manga continues to unravel, fans eagerly anticipate the revelation of the lie that Ai had been concealing from Hikaru. This truth has the potential to reshape Hikaru's understanding of his past and his relationship with Ai.
Moreover, Aqua's unwavering determination to avenge his mother's death adds an intense dimension to the narrative. How Hikaru will respond to Aqua's accusations and what consequences he will face remain to be seen.
