Compared to Lucien where we actually witnessed how he was captured, we have only been given a very limited amount of information about Kiro’s potential origins prior to falling in Black Swan’s custody (unless he was born there), and not enough about how he got out of it afterwards, especially since he has been actively trying to stop them. It does beg the question of when was he rescued by Key– that is if he really was rescued at all. That being said, it does appear having been raised as lab rats by Black Swan, just like Lucien, as one of their successful experiments, Kiro was groomed to serve as their agent and that’s why he was given the name: Helios. Based on everything he said this episode, I’m guessing he’s pretending he doesn’t know her so he can focus on immersing himself in darkness. He also showed us he still cares about the Heroine’s safety (my heart fluttered when they held each other!), just as we saw last week when he was looking at the security cameras. Even though he was on his own mission, he didn’t leave her behind to fend for herself.

However despite giving her the cold-shoulder and claiming he didn’t know her, it wasn’t as though he ignored her completely.


He never answered the Heroine when she asked, but it was apparent that he wasn’t the one she knew. We don’t know exactly what has happened to the Kiro we have gotten to know and love. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GEEZ! OF COURSE MY TOP TWO GUYS ARE BOTH BLACK SWAN MEMBERS! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO MY FAVOURITES?!?!! Berry’s right, it’s as though I am a magnet for this stuff! In fact you could say we only barely scratched the surface! It’s great Lucien had survived this, but holy shit Kiro, he’s storming into Black Swan higher ups and is determined to take charge of the organization. Hades may have been defeated, but the story is not over. Wow, I didn’t expect things to end this way.
