Hi. I’m not sure why だった in the underlined part is used here. I know 〜たはず usually indicate some fact is contrary to one’s expectation. But this particular sentence doesn’t seem to indicate a contradiction between the fact and expectation. It just says if 折紙 remembered it correctly, 士道 is supposed to be an adopted child. So why is だったはず used here instead of だはず?
