Chekhov's Hankerchief, him having this thing is 100% going to come back and get him implicated in something serious.

I'm guessing either he nobly stays silent and takes the heat to save them, showing his realization that he's just a supporting character, or else Marie has the opportunity to save him but decides that going back on the promise she just made and letting his life be ruined in her place is the only way she can prove her resolve to do anything it takes to defy the world and keep Aki safe.
