Justin "Samy" Morgan

[Justin S. Morgan]

I'm not who you think I am.

= Planet Junyo, Shykoku ~ October 17th, 818 A.S. =

Justin: ...we should go to the police station and report those bastards. You are the only one who can help the authorities to...
Reiko: No!
Justin: What???
Reiko Ishihara held her head up and looked at him. For a second, he saw her dark eyes flashed with angry tears.
Reiko: I said no, Samy.

After a short moment of silence, she seemed to gain control of the situation and spoke quietly.
Reiko: I tried to tell you before, but you wouldn't listen. You didn't want to understand. What I've done is wrong. Terribly wrong.
Justin: Reiko, what the hell are you saying there?

With tears still hanging on the rims of her eyes, she continued to talk.
Reiko: Please, listen to me. I'm not proud of myself. I lied to you!

Justin felt a change in the tone of Reiko voice as she makes an unexpected confession.
Reiko: Yes, I lied to you because I was afraid that too many questions would lead too exactly this kind of situation. Now it's happened, I'm glad, believe me, though I've been trying to avoid it at all costs. I'm sorry, Samy, if I misled you. I didn't intend to.

He frowned and gave her a puzzled look, wondering what's on her mind.
Justin: It's a new kind of joke or what!?
Reiko: No... just listen to me. I shall say this only once. What's happened today at Deshima station... I don't know how to tell you this, but... I was the one who killed that KSP officer.

For a moment, he was shaking his head in disbelief, opening and closing its mouth as if he wanted to say something but just couldn't. Very calm but determined, she took his hand, looked sincerely into his eyes and said:
Reiko: Please, listen carefully. I'm just a foolish woman who seeking a temporary escape. You have been nothing but a distraction. It was just a game... but is over now. I didn't mean for you to fall in love with me. And... if you're honest with yourself, I think you'd have to admit that you're not in love with me at all. I think you're in love with the idea of being in love. You need someone who really loves you. You need someone who cares about you. You need someone who really wants you and supports you all the time... Probably, you will not understand very much now but... I can't be that person. Not anymore. It will literally kill me if I don't stop.

Justin remained stunned by her words, trying to understand how they ended up there, and why. His worst fear was that she will leave him and decided to do everything he can to make sure that doesn't happen.
Justin: It's not true, Reiko. I do love you. I really do! I don't wanna...

He started to say more, but she stopped him with a finger to his lips.
Reiko: Shhh... No, Samy. I'm sorry. I don't wanna lie you anymore.

She took a deep breath, then said:
Reiko: I'm not who you think I am.
