Satoko finally meets Mashuu’s father after he finds them practicing late at night. She does admit to him that she’s been training him since she knows about soccer but as for the other activities they do together, she kept them secret from him.
Again, as the reader, we’re lead to believe Satoko’s intentions are innocent but yeah, I can understand why lying makes her look worse in the father’s eyes. Mashuu is a very young buy and he’s right to protect his son from someone who is being deceptive. I’m still not understanding why this is so controversial. Seems like a clear cut misunderstanding at this point, but again, this could get very dark. 4 out of 5.
