It messes me up how hard Kouyou believed she was protecting Kyouka from the ADA. How much she truly thought that since Kyouka built her skills in a place as dark as the PM, she could not longer live a normal life.
She's not pulling evil manipulation tactics because she wants Kyouka for herself and lies to her to break her mind. She's 100% believing her own words because that's the lesson she got from her traumatic experience as a child: hope will disappoint and leave you broken; the people who tell you they can show you a better world cannot follow through on that promise.
She tells Kyouka she'll understand when she's older. Kouyou wishes she didn't have to live through being told she could see the world outside of (the Old Boss') mafia and then seeing the person who made her that promise be killed for it. Seeing her teenage dreams of peace reduced to nothing. She would probably say that she despises the man who gave her hope for having done exactly that.
"It would have been better if she'd come get Kyouka earlier instead of waiting" she says. Because to her the pattern is already established: Kyouka has been promised better. But those promises are lies, they can't be anything else. So now she will inevitably suffer.
All because the situation, however different it is this time, is making Kouyou relive her own nightmare from half her life ago.

It’s kind of interesting how some of the members of the port mafia seem more integrated into the mafia then the others. Like some of them feel like they work there, and others feel like they live there, if that makes sense. Like, yeah, Higuchi probably gets days off and can go home to her family and mentally distance herself from the mafia for a moment, but like I can’t really imagine someone like Kouyou really being able to ever put that much distance between herself and the pm. You know??????

Kouyou: I know what you are.
NO PURSUING 😭 in a burning building, skk will still be drawn to each other, so much so it's become a work hazard.
