As soon as she said that, Sierra turned and walked away. Shane couldn’t hold it in and called after her:

“I don’t get it. You know exactly what kind of person Johnathan is. He’s no more righteous than I am. So why?”

Why is the way you treat me and the way you treat him so drastically different?

But Sierra never answered his question.

Why?

Maybe because when she had been at her most desperate, reaching for help, Shane had only stood by and watched.

Yes, he had saved her life once–but only because he wanted to watch her struggle.

Johnathan had never treated her that way. Even if he had kept his distance at first, he had never done anything to hurt her.

And more importantly, he was Misty–the one who’d introduced her to the field.

Thinking of that, Sierra suddenly realized something: she still hadn’t told Johnathan that she was Tano.

That evening, when Johnathan came to pick her up, Sierra casually asked, “Were you looking for someone back then?”

“Hm?”

Johnathan was momentarily stunned. Then he remembered–he had stayed in Maviston for so long searching for someone.

He hadn’t thought about Tano in ages. Why was Sierra bringing it up now?

His mind moved quickly, and in an instant he understood. He looked at Sierra, who bit her lip and said,

“I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long.”

At first, when she found out he was Misty, she had hidden the truth on purpose. She hadn’t wanted him to know what she had been through.

Later, she just forgot. If not for Shane today, she might never have remembered to bring it up at all.

Johnathan didn’t look the least bit surprised.

“I suspected it before,” he said.

He had never confirmed it, and later, with his attention fully on Sierra, it had slipped further from his mind.

“A shame,” Johnathan added.

He rarely regretted anything, but this this he did regret.

If he had taken Tano more seriously back then, or actually treated her like a friend, maybe Sierra wouldn’t have gone through all that. Maybe she’d still be the bright, innocent girl she once was.

And maybe they wouldn’t have lost those years.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Sierra said with a smile.

Knowing Johnathan’s personality, the fact that he remembered her at all was already more than enough.

Besides, if not for her time in prison, she wouldn’t have truly woken up–and Johnathan would never have looked twice at who she used to be.

“This way is better,” she said, tugging at his hand.

Johnathan tightened his grip. The two of them said nothing more, but one look was enough to understand

each other completely.

“By the way, I saw Shane today.”

Sierra brought it up. “Did he give you any trouble?”

That was what she’d been worried about the most.

“No. We just made a deal. I allowed him to return to Capital City. Sorry–I didn’t talk to you about it first.”

Johnathan apologized quickly.

Sierra shook her head. She wasn’t as afraid of Shane as before, but she still felt a visceral disgust around him.

“He’s got a strange personality. I was afraid he’d make things difficult for you. He’s investigating that group

too.”

Johnathan left it at that.

Sierra wasn’t surprised. Shane was a lunatic–always had been. He never played by the rules. He thought life was boring and liked to stir things up just to entertain himself.

Sierra didn’t want to talk about Shane anymore, so she changed the subject and told Johnathan about agreeing to help her professor.
