Recap of Chapter 160
Titled “Eye,” Chapter 160 features Hikaru vehemently denying any involvement in Ai’s death, claiming he never harmed anyone directly. He insists that he considered Niino and Ryosuke as friends, merely discussing Ai with them, and expresses regret over his inaction regarding Ai’s pregnancy.
However, Aqua challenges Hikaru’s narrative, exposing his manipulative tactics that pushed Niino and Ryosuke into madness. Aqua accuses Hikaru of plotting to kill Ruby, framing him as worse than a murderer for orchestrating chaos from the shadows.
The chapter culminates with Aqua declaring his intent to eliminate Hikaru, believing that their “lying eyes” disguise a twisted sense of love. It ends on a tense note as Aqua raises his knife against his father.
