Motive

SUZUE

I think it was a little cute that Margaux Cortez had reacted so rashly when I approached Kevin Reyes.

She's probably wondering why I did. 

Well, it was simple.

I knew that Margaux Cortez alone would say no to my proposal. Hence, I needed some form of backup and who should I pick to do that?

Of course, it should be someone close to her. Someone whom I know for sure she'd listen to.

If I could convince Kevin Reyes, it would be easy for him to influence Margaux Cortez.

In my opinion, it was a win-win. I help them hit Takahashi's weakness without him knowing that I'm the one pulling the strings and she gets to avenge her people from what Takahashi has done.

Not only that, she would be able to claim back what Takahashi has taken from her.

Hitomi's stay here is numbered. I know she must be missing her kids so much and I really appreciate her effort to come here.
