Kalego already kinda knew!!!
He literally sacrificed everything for a criminal just cause she was nice to him
and like WHY bro. it's not like they actually even know each other like that, so IM confused why he sacrificed his secret for HER of ALLLL people. im starting to think this was just an excuse for the author to already reveal his secret bc i thought that the reveal would be MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL and PERSONAL to iruma. like if it was alice or clara gravely injured, or ameri, or fuck it any of the misfits. but SHIIDA? are you fucking serious?????
Honestly it could have been anyone he kind of knew. Its in character for him to be kind and self sacrificing. He does genuinely like Shiida so its no surprise he would do what he did. Also, I think the secret was weighing on him a bit. As terrible as the situation is, im sure there's a sense of relief that hes not lying anymore.
im not falling for this shiida agenda, idc they can't make me like or care about her. like she's deadass the bad guy but i'm supposed to believe she all of the sudden cares about iruma? bc she first met him at the park for like 10 mins? man fuck awfff
that being said, i think we all knew the iruma confessing he's human reveal was long overdue, but i'll give it this, it actually surprised me the way it was revealed. i would've never guessed that alice, clara, and kalego would find out at the same time considering they're gonna be iruma's ride or dies. kalego bc of sullivan/opera/balam, and obviously the love trio are his #1 ride or dies.
