That first week, I was certain that she could have done it. But she didn't, and she seemed so hurt by the suspicion, and I was so horrified by the thought that I could have gotten her killed... I made a conscious decision to trust her after that, so I wouldn't hurt her again.
Last week... the possibility crossed my mind again. I thought that Gin's killer must have been someone who was familiar with anatomy to be able to hit the vital points with only a vague outline to go on, and I thought back to her profile again — acupuncture and blades. But I'd promised that I wouldn't suspect her again without solid evidence, and she really didn't seem like someone who'd come up with a plan like that, so I pushed that thought aside.
If I'd actually voiced that possibility last week... maybe I wouldn't have put Yeager in danger, and maybe we wouldn't have done what we did to SQ.
