[It is. It most definitely is. Not all the way, not to any very huge part, but it is. His reaction matters and causes a problem, sure, but it's not just his. His knowledge of this matters, but not just his knowledge. Maya would keep hiding this fact from all of Zodion for eternity had she had her way, as if the fact she hadn't mentioned it to anyone already might prove -- only less good than usual could come out of a person like Izaya becoming aware of it, too. If she had her head on straight, she would have guessed there was a chance Magato could tell him later. But she doesn't. So much is unconscious today, on impulse, when it centers around protecting this secret of hers.
Is it that bad?] .........
[What's the problem?] I do have time. Not to explain this.
[Perhaps it's because -- unconsciously, to be sure-- she realizes deep down that this secret isn't really just hers. It's theirs. Maybe something inside her is seeking to protect others besides herself even now. After all, if he knows what's written upon this card, he knows the big thing that makes
Jun and Tatsuya and Lisa tick
which is far less of a good prospect than him knowing and keeping any torment to Maya herself.]
