// NOTE: there, it goes like this, first of all. Valery explained all about the wine to Dua, and then tells Dua not to tell Ein. On this case, Dua questioned Valery, "then why did you tell me all that so I would hear it?". In this situation, Dua had not known so much about the wine's coverup story before Valery told her, and Valery countered with "but I thought you've heard all about us talking about the wine thinggy by standing outside the door at the hallway eavesdropping on us?". In which Valery(acting) has assumed that Dua knew all about the "wine cover up story" but there was no way that she could since Valery and the gang did not say anything about it, but Valery(acting) said that she knew. So he told her not to tell Ein about it, even though he explained everything about the wine's coverup story to her. If you still don't really understand, kick me in IRC or sumtin -yeah
