mystery unravelled.
So Yoriko is the mastermind in all this. Is she trying to make Rumi play around with Nitta as a test or something? is it to keep Nitta away from Kano or is it to test his "sincerity" in his "companionship" with Kano? If its the latter, thats a roundabout way of doing things, also scummy. If its the former, it wouldn't make sense because of the loan deal thing.
